Stupid bus driver
A transport company has apologised to a 12-year-old boy after he was ordered off a bus because he was 5p short of his fare.
Daniel Penkethman was told he would have to trek six miles from his mother's home to his father's house in Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent, because he did not have enough money.
The youngster was just 5p short of his £1.15 bus fare after children's fares were put up the previous day, and was told he could not get on the bus without enough money.
What an obnoxious little jobsworth this bus driver must be, especially when the fares had just gone up and there was every chance it was a genuine mistake. Prat.

Unbelivable, and if that had been my Son. why couldn`t he have just popped 5p in, did it really matter if he had been 5p short.
What if something bad had happened

Re: Stupid bus driver
I hate bus drivers at the best of time (they always drive off when they see you running), but thats ridiculous. There should be a few days grace, so that anyone who is a bit short because they didn't know the fares had gone up could just be warned.
