That was fast TFL

i'm amazed you bothered. i've only experienced about one friendly/competent bus driver in the last 25 months of living down here. i don't even know where they hire them from.
once had one who refused to speak to me. just stared at me, no matter what i said.
began with asking 'can i pay in cash, my oyster has run out?' and finished, several questions later with 'do you actually want to have your wages paid, you pitiful wanker?'

fucking love this bit by the way-
'The driver’s future behaviour will be monitored closely to ensure that this was an isolated incident and not a regular feature of his work.'
haha! makes it sound like he's a musician or something!

haha! I had the same thing, got on, swiped oyster - no money on it so i said to the driver how much is it? ...after a 13sec staring pause he said "...um it doesnt matter if you go 1 stop or 12..." "yeah, but how much is it mate?" "......umm your oyster doesnt have any money on it" "yeah I know, how much is it?" "....umm" "How much will it cost me to get on the bus?" "..uuum oh 2 pounds"

lucky I had some pound coins or I could have been there for another 45 min while he took his shoes and socks off to count the change from a twenty
