Passengers' Complains * UK - On the Buses
However as every Londoner knows, the problem with travelling bus in London today, is that you are likely to suffer serious injuries as you are thrown around the bus interiorLondon,UK -The Polytechnic, by Jon Goodbun -16 Aug 2007: -- ... A number of recent reports have documented the rise in passenger complaints, and have typically described these as complaints about the lack of driving skills... However, it seems to me that whist some of the drivers may not care about the experience of their passengers, it is a design failure which is at issue here. Quite simply, from observation it is clear that the main problems are occurring in new buses which seem to be far to powerful for the job required. My driver was able to accelerate strongly from a stopping position, and would then need to brake hard to stop. In both cases we were thrown around. Yet there is no need for buses in London to move like this. It is well documented that the average speed of traffic in London is 10 mph, so I would say there is no need for buses to have engines that go faster than say 30mph. Equally, there is no need for these vehicles to be able to accelerate quickly...
