If only the world was perfect...
Doesn't mean you should put yourself into risky situations because of how things are supposed to be.

I can make it in relation to the big four operators and their subsidiaries. Ticket Irregularities are generally treated in a similar way by these operators, the specific details may differ, but overall this is the way in which the policies are enacted.

Aahahaha that quote of Asim's is almost worthy of a signature. Or a ban. I know you were already scraping the bottom of the barrel for credibility Asim but now you've lost it all.

His post isn't much different to some others in here, it's not ban worthy at all.
I can see the chip on your shoulder.
Soldato
No - that's like turning up at Wimbledon with 99 balls instead of 100 and being kicked out.
Soldato
Well if you knew it was 100 balls that were needed, it's your own fault.
The last thing I care about in this cesspool of a General Discussion subforum is my credibility.
And tell me which rules have I broken to deserve a ban?
If you have conflicting viewpoints then please feel free to dissect my post. I am a nice person and would happily read what anyone has to say, minus the attitude.

EIGHT MINUTES.
EIGHT bloody minutes of commotion about 20 pence and not ONE person offered it up? Was anyone else actually on the bus?
Disgusting, I would have offered up the 20 pence there and then, she was clearly concerned enough to hang around for 8 minutes and/or go get cash from an ATM so it would have been noticeable.
Surely 8 minutes of delay is worth more to the bus company than 20 pence, should have let her on after she clearly was not happy to not get the ride after a minute or two.

Stagecoach, First, Arriva, Go-Ahead.
I'll rephrase that then, there's only three with fangs!
Go-Ahead hardly ever feature on the radar commercially in my organisation, which I get the impression is the same one you either work for or did in the past.
If the bus driver was being an arse, which lets be honest the ones like this usually are massive jobsworths, then I would have got up and given her 20p. The bus drivers that are like this need to stop elevating their own job, had one the other week that full on moaned at me because he had to give me a pound coin out of his wallet because he didn't have any change and I'd given him a fiver - what has that got to do with me!
1000 times this.
We are told never to refuse travel room anyone who could be considered vulnerable, which this girl was.
Infact someone was recently sacked for throwing a teenage girl off the bus late at night in the middle of nowhere because she didn't have a valid ticket.
I personally would have knocked it back a fare stage on the machine so the ticket would have been £4.80 or less.
The correct procedure would be to issue an unpaid fares form so the company could claim the revenue back.

Exactly, its common sense. In that situation at least pay for as far as you can go and if desperate stay on a few stops extra. But it shouldn't even get that to that point if your struggling for cash ring a taxi from the pub or walk to a taxi rank that usually outside most popular clubs. Stay with friends and share a ride back.
If your dumb enough to get her point you'd at least plead with other passengers to borrow 20p.
Bad things happen to careless people.
The driver had probably been dealing with drunks all night and is more than used to people trying to get away without paying, he bears no responsibility in what subsequently happened to this girl.
Reading the article and noting that the bus was held up for 8 minutes, was she pleading or refusing to alight and making a right nuisance of herself?

All these people saying let her off 20p do you just give random discounts to people in your job?
OcUK I want to buy a highend PC but dont have the monies, will you let me have it £200 cheaper?
