- Doubledeckeranton returns after a long weekend away from work and is already stressed when 'passengers play games' with him...!!! 😤
Even though Anton has been driving for many a year, he still can't tell (after all this time) if a passenger is going to either 'pay' or 'do a fast one' by slipping past him unnoticed when boarding the bus on any door...!!! 🤔🤨
On these two seperate occasions, both groups of passengers did pay when confronted about 'tapping in their card'.
But the bigger question remains ....⤵️....
.... How can bus drivers 'tell the difference' between 'genuine' passengers who forget to pay and those passengers that 'deliberately avoid paying' to get a free ride...? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Should the driver 'give the benefit of the doubt' until the passenger has walked to their seat (without paying).....or.....confront them (with the possibility of an argument unfolding on the bus)...? 🤔.....🤨...😟...😤...😡...🔜...🤬...🤪 = ❌
The solution💡would be to have a proper 'bus code' in place to 'eliminate possible stress on bus drivers'.....and thus reduce the amount of 'wasted time⌚/lost mileage 📊/police callouts ☎️📲🔜.... 🚔🚓🚔🚑...delayed journeys ➡️⏳
etc ... etc ... etc ...
Always remember to 'board the bus from the front entrance door' (unless you are wheelchair ♿ disabled/parent with child buggy 👶 needing the access ramp).
Grab yourself a 'bit of merch', available from the link below...!!! 👕🔝💯✅
T-shirts, hoodies, bags and masks are available in various colours and designs.
Further merchandise designs, will be released every month throughout the rest of the year.

Alot of people do that in Ireland too. I was sitting for 15 mins yesterday a foreigner got on and handed the driver a €50 note! Driver said sorry I can't take that it's exact fare. Well she wouldn't get off she was fighting with him saying she had the money it was wrong he wouldn't take it! Well I got just got super pissed off and I knew the driver and knew he had only buried his Mother few wks before so I just got up and very politely said to the girl "Have u no coins?" She snapped at me "NO" So I just took out €4 and put it into the machine took the receipt gave it to her and smiled! She didn't even say thanks she just did "PFFFFT" and walked off! I live in Dublin and all busses it says EXACT FARE ONLY. We don't have just card payment YET
Wish we have this rule in Devon counting out change slows down the services so much
...thanks Carol...that was a really nice thing that you did for the driver and for the passenger!
I know that contactless payments will be brought in to many towns and cities over the next 5-10 years....!!!
It's the way that the world 🌍🌎🌏 is going...!!!
@@DoubleDeckerAnton We only have Go Ahead just started now the last few weeks. They have taken 26 of Dublin Bus routes. People arnt really happy cos Dublin Bus I'm sure like ur company is a family above all else and everyone nearly has a loved one or family member a driver so it's not going down well lol
@@carolpaula2204 ...hi Carol...Yes family bus companies have that lovely personal touch...it's important that is passed on to the employees and then through to the customer! 🙂
Foreign or not.. who has the exact fare? Bigot
*but remember to always thank the bus driver*
I was looking for this comment
Thanks actually a thing in London
that seems weird to me, dont get me wrong i respect bus drivers and say good morning good day. but thank you just seems akward to say on the way out
I almost always thank the bus driver, even sometimes if they're rude to other people. I always say thank you if they're rude to me... Kill them with kindness - if you swear at them or something they don't even notice it. If you are polite to a rude person, it's possible they've had a bad day or something and there's a chance they'll realise how rude they were.

Bus driver since 2002 is quite something
....it is yes but I remember drivers who started in 1964 retiring in 2007 after 43 years service under their belt!
One driver finished, signed off and went home.
The drivers and union got together and arranged an official 'goodbye' for him!
16 years the year I was born una 💯
That sounds depressing tho doesnt it
My dad has been driving buses since the 70s.
I started driving buses in 1978, still going.
A new one for me recently - passengers playing the oyster beep via their mobile phones to avoid paying. Every single one I've caught has produced an unvalidated oyster after being asked to tap their oyster again to check. The thing that highlighted it to me was the pitch of the beep was off and no ticket type came up on ETM screen. Something to keep an eye out for!
Transport Videos thats a sneaky one!
....Yes I've actually seen a video which shows someone using the beep on their phone.
Most of the time the shitting ETM don't even show up with anything to tell you that they have touched in.
Transport videos are you a bus driver or a ticket Inspecter?
@@mattbeardsworth3201 bus driver
Never confuse the driver while boarding but.....
*DON'T FORGET TO THANK THE BUS DRIVER AFTERWARDS!!!*
Even more important than that - "Hello"
Apparently I've seen in London, passengers don't really say "Hello" to drivers often. In Ireland that is the opposite. You usually see passengers greet drivers but they don't greet back
My bus driver is 79 and he has been driving a bus since 65’ which was before my parents were born!!!

To some bus Drivers 100% but to the people forcing them to keep taking minutes breaks they deserve nothing
I can imagine it’s hard keeping an eye on that rear door

That Yorkshire Bus Driver a solution for u dont open the back door
Xpert_Destroyer 4 You probably can’t just open one door. And some people might want to get off at the backdoor so if you open it for the people getting off and then try to close it before someone gets on you might end up injuring someone.
i am in the age of where i get free bus rides, i went on the back door and im not sure if thats bad or not
I see Dutch got a new job
Fuckin hell your profile pic
I'm from London and I saw a man long time ago that went in the back door and the driver haven't done nothing about it
...Yes it's rampant...happens all day long across London...!!!
From what I've read the police in London is severely underfunded, and no politician seems to be willing to change that - so behavior like these will probably go on forever (this is a guy that didn't tap in with his oyster card and the bus driver confronted him about it): /watch?v=4FA2bJFdfeI
Brain Davison more a case that it happens at every other bus stop in London and to constantly confront people about it would be incredibly tiring for a driver who’s got enough to focus on with driving.
@@jackhackett4557 no politician seems to be willing to change that? Clearly didn't research for very long lol
@@ThePaperCreater "Overall funding fell by 19%, taking inflation into account", from the article entitled "Police funding in England and Wales" - fullfact.org/crime/police-funding-england-and-wales ....Enlighten yourself.
In Stockholm, drivers are told not to point out if someone doesn’t have a valid ticket. That is only ticket inspectors’s job.
Martin Herikson in the uk we very rarely have ticket inspectors on buses, I’ve never seen one and my friend was really suprised when some were on her bus! On trains we always have people checking tickets but not on buses 🤷🏼♀️
Mentally Tilly I’ve never seen one either actually, only on trains maybe once a year. So that system doesn’t work, but at least the buses are moving without unnecessary delays. I saw an article once, where it said how much money Stockholm doesn’t get from tickets, and it was maaaany million Swedish crowns a year 🤦♂️
Well a relation of mine did get a £200 fine on a London bus, it was when tfl were accepting cash and she lost her paper ticket and the bus driver couldn't remember if he had sold her a paper ticket or not.
She had never been known to tfl for fare evasion so I suspect had she appealed to the independent body stating it had been an honest mistake they would have cancelled her fine, the thing was she wrote to our local MP for advice (no help she should have appealed) and also was threatened with bailiffs so panicked and paid it.
Really? I lived in Stockholm for about a year and the drivers always checked if the ticket was being correctly validated or not. They even faced you when while you were entering the bus
That’s why I got the impression that they were the ones responsible for confirming the correct ticket validation
We do have inspectors but it is very unlikely you'll experience one
Wow you must have the toughest job in the world. A true hero
Oddly enough some school children are cheeky and get on the back doors for some reason.
....I've seen it all...it never ends...!!!
@@DoubleDeckerAnton just let the kid off sometimes
Haha, yes! I have stolen this bus ride that i can get for free!
its free anyway whats the point of tapping when it takes no money out of your oyster ?
The reason tfl introduced zip for oyster in 2008 is because some school children run rampant on buses, graffiti, and vandalise. Every child has to tap in so tfl have a way of identifying offenders who mistreat buses. It's not a money making thing.
I’ve learnt so much from you thank you
....thanks Will ...😀
You look like dutch from red dead redemption 2 lmao
You're not gonna pay?!

hey Anton, i have crazy bad anxiety and depression and ur videos are like crazy helpful for me i dunno you just have like a hella calming vibe
Thankyou James. I'm glad I'm helping you, when you are going through some tough times in life. I hope you are well.
Great video as usual Anton I find the worst ones with a single door Bus are large groups of school children after they’ve finished school as they are like a stampede and all push on not giving us drivers enough chance to see thief tickets/passes or issue them tickets
Yes Jonny...I always remember the schoolkids causing problems up in Yorkshire!
In London, they are actually ok...well behaved! But I do mostly citywork!
@@DoubleDeckerAnton not all them are OK the number of brats I've seen not tapping in or tapping their card knowing they have no money pisses me off
Sorry on behalf of the school kids 🤣👍 happens alot especially y7s their really annoying
ellenkingsley i don’t see why people make such a big fuss about it when school kids travel free on buses anyway
My country is now encouraging younger students to use public transport to get to/from school, instead of using school buses, due to a school bus driver shortage
I'm a bus driver myself and yeah the worst is people confusing the driver. Good video Dan !
...thanks...Yes there needs to be a bus code/passenger code so that passengers know the right way to board a bus!
Love the moustache buddy
It's the same everywhere with passengers... Haha. Thanks for the nice video again, Anton. :)
This guy’s a legend
In Angus, Scotland we have a driver and conductor. So we just get on the bus and sit down then the conductor comes and takes our money so the driver only has to focus on driving.
That's a good idea, Although it's extra workers.
over all thats way better, it makes stops faster and most people will buy the ticket even when inspectors are not in every bus
Hello from Innsbruck/Austria. Here, we have 2 systems for boarding a bus:
1.) Suburban routes and sightseeing busses: you have to get on at the front door and show your ticket or pay.
2.) citytraffic in innsbruck: you can use every door, tickets are only controlled by ticket inspectors (sometimes) or as an incident occures.
greetings
...thankyou Onki...nice to hear what it is like on the buses in Austria 😀👍
Meanwhile onbaord Singapore's public buses we board only from the front (except for a handful of bus stops where really many people are boarding, where an inspector is stationed at the exit), but alighting is allowed at the front at the bus service's last stop, & @ other stops too sometimes (if you don't get in the way of too many people boarding). However, university campus' shuttle buses allow all-door boarding (except during the pandemic, so the driver could check that non-students & staff aren't boarding, for crowd control reasons) as they're 'free' (funded by students' miscellaneous fees instead of fares), though some students complain that non-students & staff should be banned from the shuttles (& use the public buses serving the campuses instead, to reduce shuttle overcrowding)
I had no idea there was even buses with two doors. Great insight Anton!
This might be the best video on CZcams right now 😂😂😂😂
in Philly (U.S.) the boarding the bus is by front doors and pay by the driver. Rear doors would be opened when there is a person leaving (or request for stroller or person with shopping cart (not the store cart, personal cart people get)) and the driver would often close the rear doors if people finish unboarding and won't open them if nobody stands by them for unboarding. In Milwaukee rear doors have to be pushed out by passengers manually if they exit. In majority of Polish networks you can enter by any doors you want to (no double deckers in Poland :( ) but articulated busses have 4 to at times 6 doors (2 to 4 sets on front part of the bus (I think in Czech I saw a 4, there is a youtube channel from that network, don't remember the name) and 2 doors on the back part. Passangers have to validate the tickets (and/or cards) and there can be an inspection at any time, where you can be ticketed for not having valid fare. And nowadays the ticket control have often electronic check system and all that.
Frequently make short trips on Auckland (New Zealand) buses and have seen it happen twice this year. In both cases, the driver noticed and in one case, they refused to leave until everyone had a valid ticket or HOP card. The driver doesn't have a protection screen in Auckland, so can easily interact with passengers when needed. I have seen someone board at the rear door and tag on, when the rear reader is usually used for tagging off only.
....we don't have 'tagging off' on the buses here....I get passengers doing this sometimes on mine...and they end up paying twice (2 × £1.50)
@@DoubleDeckerAnton The reason for tagging off in Auckland is that the same fare zone system used for trains applies for buses. That means for my trip from home to uni, which is NZ$3.75 with tertiary discount costs NZ$3.75 (£1.38, 3 Zones) for the train and NZ$0.00 (Difference between 3 zone fare and fare paid) for the bus. The return trip is $1.40 for the bus (70p, 1 zone) and $2.35 (£1.18, difference between fare paid and 3 zone fare). Currency conversions are approximate because £:NZ$ is about 1:2 but not exactly.
@@DC4444 we have the same system in Melbourne, Australia but some people who take the bus then a train won't touch off their myki cards as it automatically touches off from the bus and on for the train at the station
@@JordysRailVideos Doesn't work like that in Auckland. If you try, you get an error when you try to tag on a train after getting off a bus or a bus after getting off a train. The first scenario, bus to train is more annoying if you forget to tag off because the reader is on the bus and the bus has left. With train to bus, you go back to the train station and tag off.
You look like the kind of gentleman who reads poetry on his break
Great video and a lot of people do it in Enfield, they come up with a story that they left it at home or are getting a new one and think they will get on some drivers let them on and others don’t. Also I was on the W8 and the kneel thing that buses have didn’t go up so the driver had to keep restarting it.
I live in Austria now and you just walk on the bus, either door. There is random ticket checks to ensure people stick to the system.
You buy the ticket either on your phone or at the machine. There is also a yearly pass for 365 euros (1 euro for every day of the year)
This is just for Vienna. The rest of Austria you must pay a fare (cash) tot he driver when you board.
In Dublin we have leap cards
Yeee boi
You forgot to add that students can get that year card cheaper
We have a similiar thing on 1 line only in Malmö, Sweden too :)
A phone ticket sounds handy. Less paper to deal with,
It’s not only in England It happens in NZ too we have a similar thing to the oaster card and people try to sneak pass the drivers...we have enviro 200s here and they have a second door but second door is only for exit. In Sydney my dad was a bus driver and people would make excuses and someone tried paying a bus fare with $100 in hopes of getting a free trip because drivers only carry loose change...
This is absolute class
I just saw this in my recommended your channel is great I subbed!
I live in london and i use the bus everyday for school, socialy ect and i see stuff like this all the time especially on the 3 door ones where u can hop on the back and half the time the back readers dont work
Wow this was uploaded early! I dont normally use the bus but if i saw your bus i would defo come on. And you'd get to see stuff you dont see from the tube too! Idk in Bristol south glos but i dont use bus much.
I love this guy he motivates me
"I paid for him"😂
What will you say about the people using there phone to trick the bus driver by playing the sound that the thing makes and tricking you in thinking they payed with there phone ?
In Ireland bus drivers use their brakes to violently, yesterday I nearly fell on my face getting off the bus
I'm awaiting my PCV training and know from chatting to bus drivers (I work for a bus cleaning company at a local depot) I'll have all kinds of things to contend with from passengers. Keep up the vids, it'll give me a heads up on what to expect in future.
Bus drivers aren't expected to multitask. Youre expected to concentrate 100% driving...love your videos!
I was driving a bus too , until I fell ill. But when I get my health back, I expect to get back to driving. In the meanwhile I'm learning from your experience to keep me updated. I've made you my mentor.❤
In Singapore, bus drivers will also leave the entrance closed when assisting wheelchair passengers to board/alight, as the ramp is at the exit, so the driver at that time won't be able to check if other passengers are boarding without tapping, or mis-using a concession card
I wish I could multitask it would make life so much easier
...lol 🤣
@Mario I would suggest you read up on public transport in the UK its very different to the rest of Europe
Mario cos it’s different here.
Mario prick. There’s no problem here, just walk through the front door. Almost all buses in the whole country have one simple door. You can just board trains without having to buy a ticket if you want, but if a checky catches you you get fined
In Sydney and most parts of Australia buses usually have 1-2 doors (exception of articulated buses) but only the front door is used for passengers to get on. All other doors are for either people to get out or used for emergencies . Usually boarding through the back will have the driver tell you off unless you are making space for people to get off and thus get back on once those alighting passengers have gotten off
True, some drivers in Melbourne would open the back door if they accidentally missed a stop that they were supposed to stop at
in Leeds, it's not really the passengers that the problem, it's usually the toxic drivers instead
I can eat a Big Mac and scratch my arse simultaneously
In Aarhus, Denmark we have yellow city buses - all 2/3 doors are used for both entering and exiting with the "exit first - then enter" principle. It's a lot quicker, but also allows for people to cheat the system
We do have security guards who check tickets once in a while though
...hi Kris....it sounds like your system is similar to what we have here in London with 2 to 3 doors and people not paying their fare..!!! 🤨
We have Rejsekort (similar to the Oyster card) machines to check in and out at every door, so you're not forced to enter or exit at a certain door
I forgot to mention, our city buses also have ticket machines in the flex area, so the driver doesn't have to make a ticket
Don’t stand any messing anton it’s outrageous what these kids do now a days
...I know what you mean....kids can be nuts...!!!
Down here in Taunton the only bus company is the Buses of Somerset and we still accept cash and card but a lot of people use the MTickets app for weekly tickets. our buses only have front doors and half of our buses are 12,62,13 or 63 reg's if they aren't private. As well as that most passengers know most drivers. Love your videos keep up the good work!
This is why I left public transport bus driving and changed over to coach driving, on charter work!
Night shift Anton lovely stuff
....it was a middle/late but I'm resting now...!!! 😁💤
Here in slovakia all buses have 3 doors and some buses have 5 doors
Beriem si že nove majú 5 dvere
In Sweden, almost nobody pays on the busses, but most people pay monthly for a busscard but don't use 'em.
Thank you for your service bus driver🙏🏼
How a out a partial solution mand the back sets of doors or put bus card readers at all doors even then there was someone people still slipped past octranspo ottawa canada. Fare inspectors do catch some of the non paying passengers.
...some people walk on the 3 door new borisbus routemaster without paying...!!!
It's best to have only one oyster machine at the front!
That way it is obvious others who walk on the other doors haven't paid..!!
Congrats on 21K subs Anton! Been subscribed for a few months, but first time commenting, not really had an interest in buses but you seem to make it all quite interesting in your videos, I’m surprised how strict things seem to be on London Buses, I live in Birmingham (UK) and the standard is awful, most drivers don’t seem to speak much English, they never really look at your pass when boarding a bus, and there’s been a lot of journeys where people smoke on the top dec of busses and the drivers never seem to care. Puts me off traveling on buses to be honest, wish we had this standard in Birmingham!
...thanks Matt for commenting and enjoying my videos ....Yes there are a lot of pressures on bus drivers in general...!!!
We don't have the resources to deal with things...!!!
I understand some drivers are too afraid to challenge 'the smokers 🚬 ' on the upper deck in Birmingham!
In London I only catch one person a year smoking on my bus...it's vastly improved down here!
But there will always be issues on buses...!!!
CCTV on every bus helps plus there are probably a lot of police in London compared to the city of Birmingham!
Bus drivers are the most underappreciated people in mankind
The editing is priceless. Nice
Was it the same issue when London Buses would accept change /cash
21K Subs! .. Well that was unexpected BUT well deserved! ... Your gonna start wishing I did start that GoFundMe to buy you a printer I joked about a while back! :) ... You are on your way to becoming CZcams's first celebrity bus driver! :) ... Q: Do any of your passengers ever recognise you? ... or even ask for selfie?! .. If so, I wonder what all the other passengers must be thinking when that happens. :) Plus, I would love to know what your Bus Depo and work colleagues think about your growing CZcams fame, any chance of a video on that subject? :) Thanks DDAnton :)
Thanks Simon...Yes I do remember you from the printing joke lol 🤣
A lot of people recognise me now on a daily basis!

My work colleagues have seen a few videos as well and some of them are thinking of starting a channel of their own to tall about 'the bus job'.
'the bus job' sounds cool, i would subscribe! :) Although saying that I am in no way a bus enthusiast and the main reason I am a subscriber and fan of your channel is because of your fun upbeat personality and positive outlook on life! :) czcams.com/video/HGxjSzCvvkc/video.html
man you should make videos like this every week like a story time
You legit look like a medieval King. Thats a compliment.
When you show us the card tapping in/out system, does it charge you?
Probably, but he is the bus driver he can just take a quid back out the pot lol
NPC#1911-EGUK tfl busses don’t take money, only oyster / contactless but he works for tfl so he’ll have an oyster which gives him free travel on busses and trains (certain zones)
If ur a bus driver u get a unlimited card
DoubleDeckerAnton have you every driven a Routemaster?
Nowadays we get undercover ticket inspectors where they act like a passenger and then as soon as the bus doors close ticket inspection takes place these inspectors are one of the smarter ones 😂
Even to this day, I have never rode a bus before but this video was still interesting.
Do you get payed time and half on afternoon shift Anton ?
...it's normal rate...only night drivers contracted get the night rate...!!!
I'm from England, Kent. It's similar just no oyster cards. Over here people actually know what to do.
Same
I will get on your bus one day and I will board via the middle door lol great video again anton it highlights the various problems us drivers have.the problem ive had in luton is about 10 travellers just getting on without paying I have to turn off bus and turf them off and threaten them with calling the police the latter normally works.keep up the good work anton 😂
I live in Wiltshire and still take cash but no card! Had a chap that got on from London with no cash only card and he was amazed when I refused his card! Being the nice man I am found him genuine and felt sorry for him so I let him on but it was amazing at his reaction when he asked “well, how do people pay” and I said “the old fashioned way, cash” lol.
But the Boris Buses have a reader on the middle and rear doors. Is that the reason there might be some confusion? BTW Los Angeles just started testing all-door boarding (with the RFID card like Oyster, marketed as “TAP”) on certain routes.
...Yes..this system on the Boris bus confuses passengers as the 3 door Boris bus has 4 oyster readers (2 on centre door)...and when the passengers board they realise that they have to walk to the front on a normal 2 door 1 oyster reader bus!
Do busses in London except cash or is it only card and oyster cards
Only oyster/debit card
they dont accept cash
In Essex well around Chelmsford, a Southend, Brentwood, all them areas we finally have contactless payments on the bus. If you buy a return ticket it usually has a QR code that you scan when you get on the bus, or the QR code can be bought on the phone and scanned. It’s deffo quicker
Word of the day flustered
Who cares where i live like 60% dont pay for the buss but if they get cahed they need to pay 20€ for the 1 time
I drive 18 and 21 meter buses with three and four doors. It's impossible to catch all fare dodgers. And something I really can't understand is how unprepared a lot of tourists are. They don't know how to pay on the bus or where to get off, and get angry at the driver if he doesn't know either
Seems like a needlessly hard job, good for you to be able to push through this.
I have my good and bad days, but it's the easiest job I've ever done and was my childhood ambition. It still is a good job for those that can put up with the hassles.
Just passed my bus test 2 days ago in Ireland so I have this to look forward too 🤣🤣
I need to find out what I can and can't do after I'd done my Module 3.
I once realy had to get the bus but had no money so i pretended to drop my phone and say it was broken and i had yellow bus app they let me on free but its the most scum thing ive done but the next bus fair i took i paid in double and said
Different countries have different systems -_-
Nicely said driver you couldn't make it more clearer than that.
In Melbourne Australia we get on the front door touch on with your myki. Then we exit through the back door and touch off. Depending how far you travel the fare will be calculated at exit. Some bus stopd have myki machines to top up buy your card if you get on a stop without one you can buy and top up from the driver.
Hi
*Alice Bradshaw* hi
...hello 🖐
Why you stressed out it's not coming out your wage
Because calling people out for being shitheads is the right thing to do for society.
So he's supposed to just let people on for free? That's not right, and it could indeed cost him his job.
This is the best comment I’ve seen! Exactly, it doesn’t increase your monthly wage neither does it decrease it! Get on and drive the bus and get everyone to there destinations, we have places to be in London specifically rush hour and this wastes a lot of time!
This is an inspectors job, just drive the bus!
Joe Bloggs I don’t need pointers, already know what my job entails! Thanks though 👍
Joe Bloggs reason why I’m having to do this is because he is delaying me and all the other people that have rightly paid the full fare to get to there destination.
If I’ve got on a bus to go to work at a specific time in order to get to work on time, why should my journey and everyone else’s who have rightly paid for their fares be delayed and late because someone decided they don’t want to pay?
That is extremely unfair! If a bus driver wants to discuss fares with a passenger then they should do that in their own time not mine when I have somewhere to go and I’ve paid!
I’ve been in situations where the driver will completely turn the engine off because someone refuses to pay! It’s unfair to eat into people’s time like that. Your a bus driver please drive the bus. The inspector can take care of that or do it in your own time!
And soz, I won’t be sharing details of my job. I think this one is simple though, a bus driver drives the bus, so simple. Have a good evening
I live in a small town in Poland. You have to buy a ticket from the bus driver. Those that go in the front door are those that are trying to buy a ticket. Those that go in through the middle/back of the bus have already purchased tickets.
It's controlled by two random inspectors that will board and check for tickets. If you don't have a ticket they'll fine you.
I'm not a bus driver or anything like that, but I find your videos are very entertaining.
Just let people on for free , don’t you know we’re all broke these days
It’s £1.50 you can’t expect to get on a bus for free???
Well yeah.. but that's someone's job they drive a big bus for people. They won't earn money if you don't pay..
People are broke all the time...
Why dont you make videos about under paid drivers and only 2 % increase in pay rise ? Let me guess your a puppet for your garage
Marvells x the bus drivers union seem pretty useless as are RMT at the moment
Glad to see another informative video from u. I really enjoy your content so please keep it comming. I'm in London very often I'd love to be on one of your buses but I mainly use the 30. I'd also love a shout out if u can because I'm such a huge fan.
I'm in London next Monday. If u lemme know what route you're on I'll give u some money for coffee or something for when u finish.
thanks for ur service
This is so unnecessary! I don’t see why you’ll delay everyone’s journey in London (specifically during rush hour) because of unpaid fares!
It doesn’t increase nor decrease your monthly Salary. Just drive the bus please and get us to where we need to be on time!
I find it so annoying when my journey is delayed because of this! It is an inspectors job to check the fare is paid not the bus driver! Please sort this out
Shayo Lola OR, just stop giving these poor guys headaches hahaa. They haven't got much rotation anyway so these type of things probably gives them a breather 😅
Bus inspectors don't exist from my 17 years in London haven't seen a single one. If they let people on without tapping In then everyone would do it and tfl would be broke.
Shayo Lola Has you are sooooo wrong
Shayo Lola lol ikr because then the people that haven’t paid will get fined so it will be their problem not the drivers😂I went on the 126 and a man got on, he didn’t have his oyster but got on the bus and he refused to get off so the driver turned the engine off and we were delayed by about 5 mins so I get what you mean
Maybe just pay?
I was watching mid video and said to myself "why am i watching this"
Like your vids I use bus daily for travel too work its not too bad in the south coast of England as we only got 1 door and don't get problems like that really keep up the good work
i used to go on london buses regularly. this one time i thought i touched the oyster card, i walked ahead and sat at the back, was listening to music on earphones so i didnt hear the beep. then another passenger told me to go forward and then i paid it. the problem is there is little visual feedback when you paid or not other than a small lcd screen. and unlike the tube there is no barrier to stop you from moving forward if you havent paid.
Love the content
At least im not going to be working for London buses soon, lolol
from what you have described to me it seemed like the guys were "*SHARING*" oyster cards by coming on in groups whilst one of them goes to the back only for the friend to pass him his oyster and for the guy without a ticket to scan someone else's card
Well done anton for dealing with the situation calmly and collected 👍👍 big things to come !!!🙏
Thankyou Callum. 🙂👍
