Bus driver being a pain

Lets start with last year

Me: stands at the corner (the bus stop is at a giveaway area) flags driver down

Driver: *ignored me and drives past* (This is a bus stop as I've always been picked up here) 

FYI this basically happens whenever he's driving

Later that day

Me: *Rings Dilwyns coaches* (honestly if they don't give a damn, why should I even bother using something else to avoid mentioning?) 

Them: "well investigate"

Next time: 

Driver: *pulls the middle finger as he goes round the corner and drives on*

When I get to college after walking down the mountain (Not safe rlly as no pavement & blind corners + no line in centre) and catching another bus to college 

Me: *goes to learner services so they can contact the company or council*

Them:*contacts council then eventually tells me he can't stop there*

I start to catch it further down the road

Driver: *slows the bus down, opens the doors (he's moving insanely slow, so I can't get on) and starts hurling every insult at me (inc SO* one and other insults - SO* gets to me as to me he's not indulting me, but my mother, so this insult is the onky one that angers me), soon he closes the doors and drives off

Me: updates the college

I soon go back and they say council can't be bothered or whatever, so I gove up

1st Tues of Nov' 

I get on the bus from the college (in diff site as I'm doing a program)

Me: *stands up as usual because it's public transport and legally allowed to stand*

Driver: *emergency brakes for no reason*

Me: *not mentally there as Im so shocked* 

Me: driver, what was that for

Driver: *puts the middle finger at his ear - I don't understand what he's telling me, but I give up as he's being Rude 

Bus is almost home

Passenger 1: *Stomps on my toe*

Me: does nothing but looks down, gets off and thinks what can I legally do next time??

Tne next day, same driver, I start panicking unsure of if he'll drive safely 

Where almost home, nothing happened whew, suddenly:

Passenger 1: *Stomps on my foot*

Me:*gives a small kick to get him of my foot, very small one, (Im NV in uncomfy situations)*

Passenger 1: *roundhouse kicks me in the genitals, causing me immense pain in the penis, I push him back in S-D*

Driver: boots ME, yes MEthe victim of assault off the bus

Me: sir, you are Not at a bus stop, you not supposed to stop here.

Him: *pulls out his phone and threatens to call his manager

Me: can't be bothered to get I to a stand off as Im close to home, so gets off and the assaulter stays on the bus... WTF???*

Last Tues

Corp Manager: speaks to someone whilst looking at me

Me: constantly breaks eye contact and looks at arm (if I ask if he's talking to me, I think I'm being rude) 

Him: continues talking

We arrive at the 1st stop to pick people up

Him: *continues talking and even tho everybody is off/on, we're stuck for 10m yes 10m,

Passenger 2 (F): places 2 hands on my torso 

My brain: ring the alarms, danger danger danger.... What is she doing what is she doing g??? (Internally screaming) 

My Body: *Breathing quickens, BPM goes insanly fast, air ways start to shut, I almost black out (My sight goes black ams all I hear is a beeeeeeep in my ear, my eyes roll up and to the back off my sockets

Soon she lets go (if M, Id've pushed him, but as she's F, I can't push or it could be deemed as SA)

Manager? Does nothing, even tho it's clear that Im in a meltdown/Panic attack

The following day, same driver, a go anxious again

But guess what?? I'm banned.... Yes, the VICTIM of 3 counts assault is banned, and the driver keeps his job... How is that legal & fair & logical?? 

Oh,that morning, I walk up to a bobby car (I have trauma with the police due to what I underwent with another force) and state "I have been assaulted on the bus - public transport 

That afternnon, I flag down a bobby van and ask if they can instead do the thing at the station over at my address as I live with parents (havent told my parents as my situation sounds so stupid to me, so dount they'd take my said - Im 19) and tell 'em the above situation, awaiting for them to call me up to the station, I have said they are refusing me service & I'm ln their vulnerable people list (parents panicked when I returned home late earlier this year (I was 18 at the time FYI)) and potentially autistic (meeting someone from NWIAS nect Thursday & they are aware of the meeting 

Edit: I wanted to use foul language, but as Im unsure of the policy on language, I've done my best to keep it SFW

  • Just to provide an update

    I did phone the company, and the issue was.... Where I was standing "it's a safety issue, you have to sit down or hold onto the stirups" 

    After a bit of a back and forth (I said no other company had any issues, nor did the usual driver have any issues), I agreed to just hold onto the stirups, 

    But the police are still doing whatever it is, they are aware, just waiting for them to ring me,

    I'll provide another update when the NWP contact me about this issue 

    That girl who touched my torso? Apparently she was getting my attention, I'm calling that a lie, because why didn't she just tap my arm BEFORE touching my torso?? 

    and this Fri, I just saw Another person doing the exact same thing I did, and did the driver have any issues?? NOPE, didn't care at all... 

    So, this entire issue now has me confused, I'll call em tomorrow to ask why this dude was allowed to stand in the gangway and not me? (I'm not saying I was blocking anyone, as I wasn't, but this dude was defo blocking the gangway and wasn't holding onto the pole)
