dude, wheres my car?
Well, first day on my new job. Mayhem.
The job was fine, just getting there was neigh impossible. In London the tube is an important form of daily travel for about 90% of commuters. So when the drivers decide to go on strike for a day, you can imagine how many people would take to the streets for the bus… London has a really decent bus service. It was stretched to the limits today though.
The conductors couldn’t let any more people on an empty bus after just one bus stop! And even then, hundreds of people were left standing at just one bus stop.
I saw one bus driver get very fed up, as people were barging over the capacity, over powering the conductors… to make the bus move again after a stop the conductor rings twice. After no ringing, the bus driver can turn the engine off until the required amount of [stupid] people get off the bus, to bring it back to legal capacity.
The conductor didnt ring.
The bus driver actually got out of the bus, and ran away!
Theres another strike next monday
