bus drivers get no love

I hate the London transport system just as much as the next guy

its rubbish

also its expensive

it always has some sort of a delay

the underground staff are a pretty unhappy and unhelpful lot (I'm generalizing here)

some stations smell like urine, others are used as urinals

the rush busy hours are a joke, we are using all available space you friggen moron

in summer people die its so hot.Muslim fanatics self exploded and kill ,though not from the heat.
i'm digressing, everyone knows its kak, even with out the crazies, the bums, the spoilt brat gangsta wanna be thugged out kids. The perverts, the cross dressers.

Its defiantly the most miserable part of the day... the commute to and fro.

Spare a thought for the bus driver. The dude( or chick) is a modern day hero.

daily the bus miraculously negotiates busy intersections / roadworks / traffic circles and some reckless shopping girl - bags in both hands - crossing the street.

at times we past trucks with only 3cm of play

hectic

but no mistakes. no scratches, and no dead cyclists

and consider this... the abuse these drivers take, i've seen grannys pull zap signs and kids pull knives

from fake tickets to verbal 'yo mamma' abuse but through it all these dudes, these heroes, they ride on.

So its is with great respect and humility that today i give praise to the humble bus driver.

Mr or Mrs bus driver i owe you one, pop round to my place for a beer and a game of table tennis anytime (bring id)
