I had a bus driver call the police on me last week
We had a bit of a dispute about whether I'd put my Oyster card on the reader (I had and thought it had beeped, apparently it hadn't).
He was being quite rude to me so in the end I got cross and said "Just drive the bus, that's your job!"
Bit rude of me but I didn't swear at him and I wasn't shouting, I was just a bit miffed by his attitude.
He ordered me off the bus!
Fun that! I told him to stop being silly and others on the bus agreed. So he radioed through to get the police called
I did apologise to him as I had been a bit rude (he didn't apologise even though he had too) and he said "I don't accept your apology". Meh.
The next bus wasn't due for a while so I just stayed on the bus. Police bloke arrived and said "I've got better things to do than this". I said "I'm sure you have, I didn't call you!".
By this time the next bus was only a couple of minutes away so I got on that.
I fought the law and...well, I guess I lost
Bit surprised the police bloke sided with the driver, I guess that's their default stance to make life easy for themselves but unless someone is abusive or violent a bus driver surely can't just refuse to have someone on their bus because they're having a bad day. Meh.
