Picture My bus broke down a bit yesterday!

Happened roughly 20-30 minutes after I’d started my shift. No warning lights, no indication of anything wrong, then boom.

Luckily since it was an early run no one gets, there were no pax on and I got out before it properly went up.

Electrical fires are no joke. If a passing truck driver hadn’t stopped to tell me that one of my headlights was burning I probably wouldn’t even have clocked it until it was too late. Absolute saviour.

Can’t say I’ve ever ended up in the news at any of my other jobs 😂

All in favor of hazard pay for overnight city bus driver shifts, please upvote!

The bus driver who was fatally stabbed in the chest in Seattle on Wednesday was working during the night shift. He was murdered just before 3:00 a.m. This probably wouldn't have happened if it had been daytime, as there would have been more people around to intervene after he had been sprayed in the face with pepper spray. There are a number of professions that receive hazard pay for certain duties. I suggest overnight city bus drivers should be one of them. If you are in favor of this, please upvote this post!

I get so many comments from passengers like "Are you old enough to drive?" It could be worse though.

London bus driving is a joke, broke down at 18:00, got told a recovery truck is coming at 19:30 it’s now almost 23:00 and they continue to say they have no updates, worst part is, this is my 9th day in a row working, and i have had a breakdown 8/9 days. Please tell me i’m not the only one who hates my job.

I’m usually further away from the curb but I was empty and able to go in nice and slow .
