    Shout out to PTV for using a replacement bus driver who doesn’t even know where he is fucking going. Cheers to the passenger who helped him out with google maps. If I didn’t have to fix something in the office I’d have already turned around and gone home.

      So far that’s never happened to me, but it’s always fun when I’m stuck standing and the bus driver thinks he’s in the NASCAR… You haven’t lived until a bloke who thinks he’s Michael Schumacher takes a roundabout at 60 while you’re clinging onto a rubber handle that’s older than your grandmother and disintegrating in your hands for dear life

        I’m always thankful when my bus turns out to be one of the electric ones because the driver can’t kangaroo it no matter how otherwise shit they are.

      Yikes. PTV ticked the box of having a ‘qualified’ driver, just not a knowledgeable one.

      Still though, as a bus operator, surely you’d be familiar with a map app/software.
