i love the bus lane on springvale road. most people dont realise its only valid during peak hour so theres usually no one using it. i can do the speed limit past ol' mate doing 60 in an 80 zone

haha yeah same with the one on doncaster rd.

Ok, so I've been catching the bus to and from work for almost 13months now, and the other day i finished work and was waiting for the bus outside Harvery Norman home HQ (this isn't the first time its happened either) and i could see the bus approaching from a distance so i got up and clearly hailed it down from a distance continuously and the mofo didn't stop and kept driving, so with my bag over my left shoulder ipod in my left hand keys in the other, wallet and coins in my left pocket bouncing around phone in the right, i thought f*k this, this aint happening again, so i sprinted my way towards the bus hoping to catch him at the lights, as i was about 75 meters from the bus that was stuck at the lights, i saw the arrow turn green so i knew my time was minimal, i managed to catch up to the bus before the lights turned green and so i stood infront of it and banged on the window and told him to open the fk up (was seeing red at this stage) got inside and completely lost my shit at him. Sat down huffing and puffing, and i go to the old guy next to me, did he not see me? and he said he must be running late that's why he didnt stop by the way you must be a good runner (made me lol abit) but my point is...how crap is the public system..anyway there's my rant for the night enjoy.

back in the day, before I had cars that is. I went to my usual bustop and just missed it, but same as you i saw him at the traffic lights so i bolted up to it..I tapped on the window and the driver shook his head..Im like cmon man your stopped at a red light but he tells me he isnt allowed to open the door..

So i see the next bustop across the highway and figure i can make it there before he does, so i sprint for it..No shit the light goes green and this guy floors it man just so he doesnt have to stop for me..wtf..thats just being rude..anyway I know the route and he has to go down a few blocks before he comes back up to the train station..Im like f**k this Im running to the train station its a good Km or so there too..So i sprint flat put all the way, when i get to the road I see him just parked up at the buststop.. now this flamin mongrel sees me crossin the road and pulls out, but he gets stuck at a roundabout. As you can imagine im pretty damn pissed off by now, so I run in front of the bus and smash the windscreen on the f**ker with my fist telling him to let me on the f**king bus..(i didnt actually expect to smash it i just wanted to hit it)

So this bus driver gets out and starts ranting on about how he cant drive now because the windscreen is broken and all his passengers have to wait for another bus blah blah blah, i say whatever flamin mongrel, you should have let me on the f**king bus..As i am argueing with him i hear my train arrive, so i run to the station and get on my train and get to work on time anyway because of all my running..LIKE A BOSS........

[MUZT3K]

Hahaha thats gold..but yer I was already at the bus stop and he purposely drove past me the prick.

[CHASRS4]

I hate bus drivers. They have no consideration on the road I've seen many drivers including me nearly getting side swiped by buses when their pullin out of bus stops.

buses have right of way guys...its the law..

just another reason to doubt the licensing system in Victoria..nobody even knows the damn rules..

[zebra]

they still like to pull out infront of a line of cars in a 80 zone in the wet with no indicators....well in the ACT they do

i've seen a few doing that shit with no signals whatsoever..

so if they're not signaling intention, how am i supposed to give way? do i need to read minds?

[zebra]

The Law for bus drivers is 7 secs with the indicator on before they can start moving...so give or take about 5 flashes before they start to move.

[ARTZ]

so the bus drivers dont know the rules, the car drivers dont know the rules..

I guess the only thing we all have in common is nobody really cares about the rules..

So why do they bother making them..?

[EeLeYe]

No one in Australia knows the road rules. Or, if they do, they choose not to follow them.

Worst are the fkrs that like to stick in the right lane and drive 20kph under the limit.

Mum's partner's car was written off because a bus cut him off at a round about. Thing is, the bus driver just kept on driving... Must happen often because the public transport department didn't hesitate to compensate for the damages.

Nah, bulk buy for padlocks to lock all bus depot gates.
