This is a question Buses

We've got a local bus driver who likes to pull away slowly just to see how far old ladies with shopping trollies will chase him down the road. By popular demand - tell us your thrilling bus anecdotes.

Thanks to glued eel for the suggestion

Dedication
This one happened to a kid in the year below me at school.

So, it is a day like any other. The half three bell has rung and the kiddies are running out of school, eager to get home.
Now, my school was dead in the centre of town, as as such, the majority of kids who got the bus headed to the main shopping street, so at this time, it would be fairly busy.

The bus shows up, and 30 or so schoolkids of varying age pile on, as well as a few (unfortunate) members of the public. Once the majority are on, a group of around four neds (or chavs for you English type folk) attempt to get on.

"No," says the bus driver. "Its full up." And he was right, it was a particularly crammed bus. So, the neds, looking quite the trifle upset retreat from the bus, swearing and trying to look hard, and begin to walk up the street, in the direction of the back of the bus.

Now, at this point, one of the second years (13-14 years old) got a bit too big for his boots, and as the bus pulled away, he stuck his fingers up at the neds, and did that "wanker" gesture with his hands.

Needless to say, this somewhat enraged the delinquent, and not to be beaten, a plan formulated in his head, almost instantly, which I think is quite a feat considering his "circumstances". You see, Mr Ned here knew where the bus stopped next.

He sprinted up the street, through some back alleys, probably vaulted a wall or two to beat the bus to the next stop, and surprisingly, he made it!

I should probably point out at this point that this guy was in his early twenties.

So, once it arrived, he waited for a few people to get off, jumped on, ran down the middle of the bus, and smacked the kid right in the face! Almost as quickly as he had arrived, he departed. The kid's face was covered in blood.

The police arrived, took statements from people and such, and they caught him eventually. And that, is the most exciting thing that has happened to me on a bus.
