WHATS WITH BUS DRIVERS?!?!?!?!?!

Why do they have grudges against innocent school girls who have been working hard all day, to get an education, so they can get a job, so that they can PAY FOR BUS DRIVERS PENSIONS?!?!?!?!?!

I was getting the bus with M today, and we were a little bit late leaving school, coz she forced me to go with her after the bell went to check which football coach came in for the yr7&8s because she has to know which one is coming in for us on friday.

We were walking up the road to the bus stop, and the 131 came past us. There was traffic, so it was going quite slowly, so I said, "M, we are gonna have to run..." but she said, "NO WAY!!! I do not run for public transport". We walked really fast to try and get there in time, but the bus driver closed the doors and drove off when we were only 2 metres away from the bus stop!!! That is SO rude. If we were in yr9, we would have screamed something like, "WHATS YOUR BEEF?!?!?!?!" at the bus driver... but since we are nice, polite, and educated members of yr11, we kicked the bus stop and sat down to wait for the next bus.

We waited 10 minutes for the next 131 to come, and it was quite ful so the driver refused to let anyone on - even though people got off which would have made more space! A 6yr old on the bus had the nerve to laugh at us!!! The next bus was the one that goes to Heathrow, but we could have got it anyway. However, the driver took one look at us and the crowd of rowdy yr7s that were now waiting with us, and didnt even stop. Which I am 99% sure is ILLEGAL!!!!!

After that, a 131 came, but it drove straight past, and stopped at the NEXT bus stop. WHAT WAS THE POINT OF THAT?!?!? By this time me and M were rly fed up, coz it was pretty cold today, and we dont particularly enjoy being surrounded by 11yr olds and inhaling car fumes...

We told the other kids in the bus stop to try and look more angelic and smile nicely, and possibly wave at the next driver so he'd let us on. (It was OK for us to say this, coz they were all from our school...).
So, finally at 3:52 (after waiting since 3:20) a 131 finally came along. The girls were all waving so violently that I thought this one was gonna go past as well, but fortunately it stopped.
There was a mad rush for the oyster card thing as soon as the doors opened, but at least we got in!!!

Seriously though, why do bus drivers always try to make travelling as stressful as possible!?



I haven't used pictures in a while, so heres a bus like the many that refused to stop for us... Except this is a 25 not a 131. I have never been on the 25.

Looks like it must be right in central London coz theres lots of cabs. Must be a cool part of town tho, coz its got Virgin Megastores and McDonalds right next to eachother! =D
