@bus_life_with_james: We get this a lot, when I first started I would allow it, I would believe that you need to transfer money into your main account and pay when you get off, you soon learn this is a quick tactic to avoid paying a fare and when the bus gets to their stop, they just walk off without paying. You learning a lot as a bus driver and over time you spot peoples tactics, don’t get me wrong if I believe it’s genuine then it’s a different story but most of the time I will make people pay before they properly board.. as they should. #buslifewithjames #buslife #busdriver #busses #bus
my card was broken so I had to pay online on the bus once and when I showed my driver on the way out he genuinely looked so happy it was so wholesome 🥹

I don’t get why some bus drivers do or don’t allow people on the bus. I’m a bus driver and I seriously could not give a flying fuck who get on and how they get on as long as they don’t cause me or anyone else on the bus any issues they can pay me with magic beans 😂

one thing I always hated was when the bus app would load the e-ticket so slowly... especially if it was a stop I'd just ran to to not miss the bus... it would always load so much slower and I felt so bad. and now Firsts new app seems to load even slower with their new logo thing it does on startup... 😂

if a kid didn't have any money and had to get the bus home would you just let them on or tell them no?

Real question, if you let someone on the bus without paying do you have to cover the ticket or something? A lot of the times I get on the bus and someone has like a payment issue or something they just get let on for free

If someone hopped on the bus without paying (let's just say in this scenario you let them on) and then they got off without paying and they went to get the bus again only this time they had money. What's your procedure? Just got me thinking...

Some people genuinely do but I had too many people hop off and ignore me when I ask them. So now they’ve ruined it for everyone else.
