....and to top it all off the bus driver was an asshole today, driving to fast and generally being a dick. I got home and complained about him just cos I was in that mood. Follows is what I sent to Stagecoach, much to the amusement of my mother.
On travelling back to Cumbernauld on the x20 service from Glasgow at 4.30pm on Sunday 30 March, I felt that the driver didn't have the least bit of concern about the safety of his passengers.
He was in far too much of a hurry, doing at least 70mph on the motorway, I was under the impression that buses and coaches were not allowed to go any faster than 55mph. At one point on the motorway another motorist signalled to the driver to slow down to which your employee responded to by giving said motorist "the finger". An entirely inappropriate attitude to have when dealing with the public.
Furthermore, for the entrie journey your driver had one of his friends/collegues/whatever standing talking to him, which is surely bad practise as it is a distraction.
The driver continued to speed and by the time we arrived in Carbrain, he quite obviously could not be bothered dealing with any more customers. I say this as there was a gentleman standing at the bus stop, who signalled for the bus to stop twice and who was blatantly ignored. Again this is totally unacceptable.
My mother and I were the last passengers to get off the coach. While we waited with baited breath to get to our destination your employee felt that it would be appropriate behaviour to draw us both filthy looks in his rear view mirror. I think not.
As an additional point, your employee, although I would be ashamed to call him that, was doing at least 45mph in a residential area. What would have happened had there been a child on the road?
I feel that the attitude of your driver was appalling never mind dangerous.
I shall hope that I do not encounter this sort of behaviour from any other Stagecoach employees or I may be forced to take my custom elsewhere.
