Renno, can you do a video, where you discuss why some bus drivers won’t open their doors to passengers, even when they see them running for their bus and sometimes won’t even open their doors when they are at a bus stop and can see the passenger trying to gain their attention. Also what are your thoughts about passengers who do not respect other passengers when they speak so loudly on their phones, sometimes shouting and having two way phone conversations. Why can’t these people use head phones? Lastly can you cover what the bus transport system are doing about people who put their feet up on the seat in front of them with no respect for the passenger who has to come and sit on that seat when there done…
Whenever you need to go to the toilet at East ham central park go to spice hut its on high street north its like a 1 minute walk and their toilet is free to the public
Another nice video on a different route, I need to make a point about your comment at 2:50. I’ve complained about the roads around East Ham/Upton Park being awfully narrow in the past & I fully agree how are some buses approved to run on these narrow roads. Near Upton Park last Saturday I imagine you heard that a 5 drove into someone’s house & car after being curtailed there (there’s a stand on Claughton Road where the crash took place). I’m surprised you didn’t get curtailed to that stand as the 58 gets curtailed there pretty much daily. I imagine you wouldn’t have crashed as you aren’t driving an 11.2M long routemaster, though it’s also possible that crash was the result of a driver error as well.
Great video Renno, nice to see you upload. Hopefully you get to drive the new BZLs on the 276 soon and eventually the double decker BZLs that will be on the 58.
Bro the things you said about green street are so true. (Not tryna be stereotypical or anything) but we Asians (at least a majority of us) are absolutely impatient and don’t give a crap about what is coming towards them. They expect you to stop for them and are too lazy to cross using the traffic light 😂. I’ve seen a very near miss with a car literally an inch away from a woman and she had no reaction or anything. Also W content from you 💪 💪
I am so entertained by the differences in terminology. You say "run dead", NYC Transit says our buses "run dark" (which is because when there are no passengers the interior lights are turned off), and we say of the subway (underground) trains they are "running light" ( which means without a load of passengers). Great video. I enjoyed it
Hey glad to see you again Renno. At least you guys generally have a toilet here in Los Angeles you pretty much have to go for what you know 😂😔. A lot of drivers end up with bladder issues
I want to join as a bus driver but was put off by a former driver saying the controllers are a nightmare to deal with. How true is that in your estimation? Thankd mate
HEEED! idk you where on 58! ANOTHER LOCAL I was always on the 97 for the past 2 weeks so for now on! SO you gonna stay on 58 from now on on the weekends??? Just waiting till u hit 3k!!!!!
TFL need to sort out proper toilet facilities for drivers at terminals, it’s unacceptable in the 21st century that drivers are expected to “hold it” between points . Great to see someone who enjoys the job , it’d be the best job in the world if it wasn’t for the public 😂
Hi Renno I have a question. I've just passed my manual Cat B license but I now want to become a bus driver, do I really have to wait 6 months in order to apply for trainee bus driver jobs or is there another way I can take this route?
