Good enough idea in principle, but then why should us passengers have to buy things from shops, just especially to have change!! :hahaha:

Nobody says you have to do that, you could always just go to the bank and get change once in a while ;)

I didn't know you were a bus driver cxx. I don't use the bus much.

To look at me you wouldn't think it. When I've been in casual clothes and putting my staff pass on the machine, I've had a couple of strange looks from the other driver.

I suspect any of her change goes down the penny arcades... Would any driver really want a fare paid entirely in dominations no larger than 5p? :P

You'd be surprised how many people pay in large amounts of shitty change actually.

Yeah, I get that on the tills at Primark as well. I had someone paying for something that cost about £12 in 50, 20 and 10p pieces a few days ago, it took bloody ages to count it all. Don't you just love the general public...

So save the last dance

For me my love 'cause I

I see you as an angel freshly fallen from the sky...

I don't bother counting it, if it looks right thats all I'm interested in. The difference between us though is that I can't be held accountable for a vault being short as there could be many different people driving that day, and there is a good chance there will be vaults that are over so they balance eachother out.

I so nearly got into an argument with a gobby waste of space yesterday over a ticket. She gets on clearly dressed for a night out and claims shes lost her child day ticket (she is clearly underage so I wasn't disputing the child element). I say no fare no travel etc etc but she is adamant she isn't getting off so in the end I told her to go sit down but refused point blank to give a replacement ticket (only let her on cos I knew if I radioed up for assistance regarding a child I'd be told just to let her on to avoid hassle) but she really angered me so not only did I tell my relief not to give her a replacement under any circumstances, but I also went and told another driver at the hospital not to do so either after I spotted her up there a short while later.

Hard lard. Some people may be on JSA, and doing what they can with spare cash.

And I shan't be going to the Bank for change for this particular bus service either. If I go on with a fiver, the fare is £3.40, so change = £1.60. If you can't come up with that much without making some comment, or slamming change onto the counter, you should not be dealing with the public.

And should you look a bit like an ape (IMO) whilst operating a bus. This is scary, and that is a female as well. Are there no rules that say your hair should maybe be smoothed down a bit, and not scare unassuming passengers.... :-(

Speaking of buses, I got lost on one again last week. Ended up in the middle of a massive, not entire nice estate, got asked if I had any smokes by someone who was high or off his head, then had to sit in the bus stop for half an hour. Fun times.

Sad thing is, it's not the first time that's happened either.

Or people generally pay for the bus with all the spare change they have, which is what most people, including myself do.

There's no need to be so rude about it.

Yeah doing their job is a REAL power trip... asking that you pay to use their service to get somewhere... HOW VERY DARE THEY!!!!???

I do wish you'd just check your facts once in a while. Like ANY job there will be the pathetic anal little jobsworths, but they are very much a minority (if anything, on the trains I work, most of the train managers let quite a few slide by not checking tickets at certain times if it's THAT busy).

Grow up...

I don't GENERALISE, I talk about what is very much a minority of individuals, not customers as a whole (shame you can't tell this when I make it SO clear), unless it's a LACK of passengers. Also the people I complain about aren't just doing their job like the poor schmucks who have to put up with YOU. Continue to fail.

    • He's alive and doing Calgon promotion! Those five weeks off have to pay somehow 😂
    • Annie did the Friday night dance show as well so I think that made her more prominent. She's an excellent presenter at new music and I think Jack is the perfect successor for this show. Clara was always in the 'good' category for me. She's been around since I started listening to R1 so feels a bit weird she's leaving. Think it's only Greg, Matt, Danny Howard and Pete Tong left now!
    • See I don’t agree…I think the three way dynamic is not really working. Vick & Katie are really great together and I enjoy Vick & Jamie together. It’s something between Katie & Jamie that’s not gelling for me. However it’s early days and they are still much better than some other combos. Plus Matt & Jamie were radio comedy gold for me so I don’t think Jamie’s the problem. Just maybe didn’t need to be a three. 
    • HAppy birthday Scott mills I hope u like the photo sent to you and I hope u recived my massive birthday CARD as I sent it to BBC RADIO 2 broadcasting house on special recorded delivery for you as let me if u have got it as I wrote a very large letter to you inside the card and sent a photo inside the card as well your biggest fan Yolanda xxxx LOVE 💖 YOU MILLIONS SCOTT  MILLS 
    • It's rather sad that Pink News is even running this - they should know better.
    • I was invested in the show when it was Vick and Jordan / Katie - now I don't pay attention and might leave the station when Jordan starts on Capital.  What I do hear is a mix of formulaic and awful.   It's strange how one person leaving a station can affect your outlook on the whole station.
    • Happy birthday Scott! Hurry up and get back on the airwaves 😊
    • Think it just depends on his commitments but agree he's a good listen. 
    • I liked her last show, but I don’t feel it had the same impact as Annie’s show. Also, I feel her tenure was quite short to be honest, so don’t understand what the sentiments are all about. I mean Annie did this show for 6 years and Zane Lowe for 12, compared to Clara’s 3 years. Looking forward to Jack taking over from her - I think he has a lot of influence from Zane Lowe and we need that energy in 6pm slot.
    • I wonder if R1 will do a big event type thing on the week that Jordan starts on Capital? It will minimise the number of people turning over I’d guess 
    • Hard to believe that all the new shows from September 2021 are now pretty much over, aside from RMC on the live lounge show, and even then, they seemed to change things up after 18 months or so. It feels like yesterday since 6th September 2021 when all those new shows began!  
    • I've never listened to Rylan before this week but have found him to be excellent.  He should be Scott's main cover going forwards
    • Always thought Arielle would get this show. She's the most natural presenter to Annie Mac. Maybe it was something to do with her Dj career and residencies in Ibiza
    • Sad that she said she felt different to others at Radio 1 having come from 1Xtra. Lovely how supportive Greg was through her career. 
    • To be honest she never filled Annie’s shoes in my eyes. It’s been a disappointing tenure having not been able to grow her show. It’s a stark contrast from her mid morning show where I preferred her to RMC.
