True, but be wary of getting on and off between stops. If you trip and fall over the incident could be deemed not to be covered by company insurance, meaning you might not get any compensation and the driver would also be in trouble. If the management are anything like ours, that is..! Ivor |

In message , Steve
and Debs writes Or in other words "It's more van me jobsworf guv" It's not the first and I don't suppose it'll be the last time that this old chestnut comes up. There's no really easy solution. "Imprison" someone in a bus stuck at traffic and they get irritated and it can lead to friction. Let them off and they get hurt and as Ivor says they'll sue (or try to). It's one reason I so prefer Routemasters in London. When the Oxford Street traffic bungs up you can just hop off. I've been very frustrated at being stuck on a 73 unable to do so on more than one occasion. For what it's worth, I think that if you leave between stops it should be at your own rest but then I'm no lawyer! -- Ian Jelf, MITG Birmingham, UK Registered Blue Badge Tourist Guide for London and the Heart of England http://www.bluebadge.demon.co.uk |

I have seen people seriously injured trying to get on/off away from stops. I don't want the hassle, thanks. Is it really worth it to save walking a few yards..? Ivor |

Fine, I have no problem with that in principle, but I want a letter from the company chief executive exonerating me from all blame in the event of an incident should I let someone on/off away from a stop. Somehow I don't think I would get one if I asked..! Ivor |
