buses have hydrolics? who would have thought?

Ok getting off the bus the other day, the front wheels of my buggy go under the bus and the buggy nearly tips forward!!!

WHY? cos of the dumb bus driver who are supposedly trained to use the hydraulics system designed to help, buggys, the elderly and the disabled!

Also if they have passed thier driving test they would know how to park close to the pavement!

What would have happened if my baby wasn't facing me in the car seat attatched and was in the buggy part facing outwards?!

yesterday when i got off the bus i looked at him and told him to lower the bus he pulled his face at ME! WTH?! all he had to do was lift his chubby little finger and press a button!

we shouldnt have to remind them in the first place.

anyone else have this happen to them?

  • Never had this happen to me but can imagine how shocked you must have been when it happened? If I were you I would contact the bus company, tell them what bus and time you were on and complain. If it happens again I would write another letter or better still go to your local newspaper!! The bus company would soon pull their fingers out then (hahaha excuse the pun)

  • Eugh bus drivers in croydon are complete a-holes :) They stop like 2 feet away from the pavement and when i struggle to get the buggy on, he looks at me like will you hurry up? People round here are just as bad, if theres an idiotic bus driver it only ever seems to be young CHILDREN, other mothers or DISABLED people helping me on the bus?! All these teens and healthy adults just stare at me and one woman even asked me why i didnt put the buggy down before the bus came....Hello love i have a 3 year old on a buggy board and a 4 month old at the time, 1 i cant keep them both safe on my lap and 2 i cant put the buggy down with the board on it, 3 why dont you mind your own business or offer some bloody help insteas of useless advice?! I also hate the people that get on a bus about 2 seconds before you, know you are getting on behing them and still go and stand in the place where you park your buggy if there are no wheelchairs. then when you stop because they're in your way the look at you like why are you stopping.erm hello can you not read...ok if you cant but there are pictures too?! What is wrong with these inconsiderate people!
