I actually went on 2 buses today. Both single deckers. I got up to get off on one of them at a bus stop 50 yds past some traffic lights which were on red. He accelerated away from the lights so briskly that I was thrown backward into a woman waiting behind me.. I was hanging on but I was wrenched off the handrail !
A road I use regularly has a stop just before some lights. It's actually in the left turn lane.
It's irritating when the bus suddenly indicates and wants to go straight on when you're passing it to turn left..Mirrors seem to be not used too much here !
Apart from isolated cases like that, I have no problem generally and will always let a signalling bus out....they're in more of a hurry than me.
I've also noticed that a large proportion of passengers alighting say ' Thanks ' to the driver.
