Swingull ...thanks...it comes with years of putting up with abuse and not reacting to it in the same way that we are treated! But some days...it's hard to take the abuse!
Well I saw him in north London on the route 106 and he said drive the fucking bus and the driver said OI! THERES CHILDREN ON THE BUS THEN HE WAS KICKED OUT FROM TFL AND THE ROUTE 106
Your genuine the nicest person ever and you have some really valid points! In Essex the bus drivers don’t have a protection glass and someone spat on them. Long story short he was thrown out!
FaZe Ridge ..yes it helps to have a perspex screen! You never know when someone is going to spit on you! It happens in a split second and then you feel demoralised!
Your videos have been coming up in my recommendations recently. I thought hey I remember this driver! I used to have a miserable office job a few years back, and you always took the time to say hello, where I got on at the very first stop. Now working on the trains myself! Thank goodness for the glass!
It's weird how in New York, if you were a bus driver there and someone assaults you can also call the police and make them go though a 7-year prison sentence.
well in England, you will h=go to court and be ordered to pay a victim surcharge + compensation + damages + the money to the victim he could also go to prison for up to 2 years and be put on rehab or sex offenders list if was because of gender
I dont mean to be so off topic but does someone know a way to log back into an instagram account..? I was dumb forgot my account password. I love any assistance you can give me!
Both of my parents were bus drivers and both told me that you see so many people getting on and off the bus every day that they seem like mannequins, most not even acknowledging the driver or the service they are providing for the passenger, so when I used to get the bus to and from school every day, I always said "Thank you" to the driver. With two simple words, their face would light up and they would go from this emotionless robot to a smiling human being within a second. A few years later there was a documentary on the TV about bus drivers and one of them said it only takes one "Thank you" per week to make him feel appreciated and carry on doing his job. It felt pretty good providing that one "Thank you" every day, more people should try it.
I’m a bus driver I don’t expect thanks, I’m doing my job. My thanks is my pay packet I never look like a robot that is the key to it all. Passengers are coming into my enviroment I am are the host we are the frontline face of TFL we suppose to look as if we like the job.
@@Fin_Ale You say thanks because you walk past the driver on single doors buse thats is the case in London on our single door midi buses. People say thank more often. It’s not the people it’s the bus design. I get people saying thanks from exit door on 47 not everyone but some. The driver is the one who can change how people respond.
DoubleDeckerAnton Anton what happens if the person is not on police registers? For example I’ve never done a spit test at the hospital and I’ve never been arrested, how would they catch someone like me if I was hooded (so cctv couldn’t see me)
Ryan Thomson Anyone thats commited a crime usually has or will commit further crimes somewhere down the line and if you don't you will always have in the back of your mind that the next time the Police catch up with you it will be dealt with so there really is no escaping.
I know I’m going back through watching old videos but I love the channel! As if it’s only a £200 fine for that! Should be more like 2 grand, the consequences can be life changing if his suliver entered your system!
Wow. I'm a former bus driver in the u.s. I never got spit on but I did get screamed at and threatened a few times. At least in the city and state I worked in there is no law making it illegal for us to get spit on. Only if they got physically violent with us. Most people have no respect for the drivers. I have all the respect for you. Especially in a large city like London. I hope if I ever visit there I get to ride your route when you are driving.
"Drive the Bus" get some t shirts printed and turn it into a new London tourist gimmick, get another few with "Elephant & Castle" with the old London Transport logo on it, it should rival the "Mind the Gap".
That pisses me off to see that the passengers are more concerned about being late , rather than your well being . You just got spat on , and they could care less. I get it , people to need to get where there going on time , but they got to understand what just happened ! I have watched quite a few of your videos, and they are awesome ! I like the drivers compartment , looks quite secure , and protective , rather than just having a plexiglass barrier .
Nick Tiganis ...thanks Nick! The cab is a really nice place to be! Most days are great on the bus...it's a great job! I suppose I have to be prepared when someone gets on and then they 'lose it's because they can't communicate in a normal way!
DoubleDeckerAnton I hear you brother ! I am a driver in Vancouver, Canada, so I can relate to everything you do videos on . I agree , it’s a great job , I love it !
In my country bus drivers have what I would call a "half-cab" which partially isolates the driver from the passengers but still allows for example the driver to give hand to hand a paper map/schedule of the line to a passenger that asked for it or the passengers who buy a ticket on the bus to hand money directly to the driver without having to put it on the coin tray for instance. Unfortunately that also means anyone with bad intentions can very easily reach the driver to assault him (or her). But they have a retractable tempered glass window that can be quickly raised if needed and then it provides pretty much the same level if protection as the fully enclosed cab. BTW we also don't have spit kits in France but we DO have CCTV in buses and in many other public places aswell.
I respect you Anton cause personally I would have lost my temper. I'm planning on being a bus driver in London in the near future and I really don't wanna have to deal with people like that
At least you have a screen to protect you unlike Australian buses where I live, hundreds of bus drivers assaulted every week and at night, it isn’t always safe to travel on a bus
I can't believe anyone would have the nerve to do that! I'm so sorry that happened! At least you had the divider between the passengers and you though.
I had my door windows smashed when driving the 167 through chigwell and also had my windsreen hit with a pellet of some kind from what must have been an air riffle. Glass shatterd up from a hole that was created in the lower windscreen by the pellet and little bits of glass was all over me. That was on the 167 too near buckhurst hill. Life of a bus driver hey!
Yes it happened to me up King oswy Drive Hartlepool and I was f****** late for picking the kids up for some little bastard coming out of the other school decided to put the bus window through
I've had someone come on a bus with some tree branch and started lashing at the driver's cab because they had to pay the fare - oddly enough, this was also in 2017 when this was uploaded. _Neasden_
Have you ever thought of doing coach work anton? The clientele are far nicer (usually) and you seem like such a nice guy who doesn't deserve the crap bus passengers usually give you!
Wow you have a lot more help from police and your employer than we do over in the states! Also you actually are separated from the passengers. I sure wish I had that on our busses! Also, you have great patience. Im not sure I'd have had the same patience getting spat on.
Jeffrey ...I was shocked at first..and I'm glad I kept my cool! I hope that all bus drivers can have protection from the passengers that have no self control!
I never understand a single bit of it why people do all sorts of negative things. Unfortunately we have to live between such people. Good job on staying strong and even getting him prosecuted.
Bus driver are just normal citizens providing a service for travellers we respect you thx for the service to the places we need to go also they should put the cameras 24/7
Soo happy the police resolved it. Us drivers go through a lot, I hope this doesn't happen again. I go back to the buses after mat leave in January. Thanks for sharing this video 😊👌🏽.
Person: *spits on bus driver* Police: *IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTT"""""""""""SSSSSSS FFFFFFFFFFRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEE RRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLL ESSSSSSSSSTTTTTTTTTTTAAAAAATTTTTTEEEEEEEEEEE* Bus driver: That took a while but at least they solved it.
Sure way of losing your job, better learn how to communicate with unwell people, thats is the key. The guy got pushed into that situation, he paid his fair. He totally embarrassed the guy in public. This situation was made worse not by the passenger. That could never happen to me, because it’s would even reach that stage, all we have to do is log any fair evasion and drive the bus. TfL have staff to deal with this stuff..
I had that happen to me also, after the second time I made a promise to myself to not get involved in any fare disputes.A juvenile did it the second time, in my face, police cought him but told me because he was only a teen they could only warn him. I think TFL prefer we dont get involved and if we ignore these types they just calm down and get off in the end.
I was spat on several times over the years, the last time was just before we got spit kits. It was at Rushy Green, I called code red, the first thing they said to me was "How old are you" I said what's my age got to do with me being assaulted, I want to know should I got to the hospital can get tested as the spit went on my face and in my eyes. The said it's up to you what you want to do, I was so pissed off with Centercom's response, I carried on as not to disrupt the service, but now I know what to do as all buses have spit kits on.
I know the feeling, you must have been feel disgusting. Respect for you mate!.... I've been spitting 3 times in total, first time in 2019 was in Rotterdam, same person twice, the second time was in 2020 in Utrecht, all about not checking in with your personal chipcard. Some peeps are really disgusting.
Nice video! Disgusting some of the people who get on buses! You or any other driver don’t deserve this!! But I guess thats just the state society is in i’m afraid :(
wow i'm so sorry to hear this, after I've watched this video i thought to myself why do we have people like these in this world, ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING. i have been spat on so many times myself by young yobs, it is just dreadful, i think that they should be put in prison, the young community is terrible, i hope you are okay and have not been affected in any way all the best from carol!
21 Dank ...thanks Carol. ..I'm ok...bit traumatised at the time...but yes....it's not a nice thing....I was just doing my job! If we try and get involved by interacting with passengers. ...we put ourselves out there ...and we dont know how we will be treated! We have to serve the public!😃
It’s about how you deal with situation, if you embarrass people in public they could react. Speak to people with a nice tone and they not going to feel like crap in public. It’s worked for me 9 years. That person in Anton bus was unwell, even Anton said.
Sounds like a regular occurrence in Birmingham and I was on the bus when it happened a few weeks ago a women was abusive on her phone every 10 minutes shouting and swearing and I was like oh it's just the 11 route you'd always get people like that on there
we don't even have working radios in our busses and if people get on and refuse to pay the company will penalise the driver, not the passenger. had kids spitting at people phoned up and asked for the police I was told to carry on.
Hi I am a retired bus driver in Australia, This is the same on the Gold Coast, If someone refuses to pay it was company policy for the driver to issue a ticket and pay for the unpaid fare himself.
@@craigsinclair-tilley2074 we was the same we had a run that passed a football ground and their would be about 90 people trying to get on. You could only focus on the customer paying while others would bunk on then inspector would get on 2stops later I had it once where it cost me 45 out an 80 shift.
If he started coach work... He would no longer to be able to be called DoubleDeckerAnton. He would have to be called "SingleDeckerAnton" or "SmallerDoubleDeckerAnton" that's only if you have a double decker coach! ;)
Why would anyone do this! It’s not hard to say where you want to go, pay the driver and take a seat. I feel very bad for bus drivers. They always look quite unhappy, but i know why now. they have to deal with this discussing behaviour from passengers! Also, it’s not just spitting on buses, there have been reports of people (who are ususally drunk) weeing on buses wich is just horrid!
Lift channel 256 ...Yes...some people just like to be nasty to other people! They like to take it out on others! We as bus drivers have to not react to it...but at times..it's testing!
I've witnessed this alot lately in Australia, since they introduced the Myki card system similar to your oyster cards. Well since you don't have to pay now as you enter only tap on, many people feel as though they can just waltz on now and expect to be shophered around, then when confronted they hurl abuse or attack the driver. So my question is does this happen to you and what is the general reaction from both sides?
Oh god, thats horrible I treat bus driver like dignified humans like one time that on a fieldtrip when I'm in Grade 4, I offer him to get my chips(junkfood)but he declined.
Airplane Plus Train Guy ...that's nice of you! I've had passengers give me sweets but sometimes they want to get off/alight the bus inbetween stops and that's when I realise there intention! 😁
I am a Freedom Pass holder, I was issued with it in 2007, I was wondering how difficult people with Freedom Passes found it to get given one by their London borough?
Matt Beardsworth ...I'm not sure myself how the passes are given out! At 60 years of age, the government introduced free travel! It's been a great idea since it was Brought in around 2003.
Hi anton. I saw your video and decided to subscribe. I hope you are well. I looked out for you when I worked at Tfl in central london. I have a request. I want you to make a video of you laughing. I remember when you used to laugh I used to be close to tears laughing so hard. Take care and god bless
Taj Sahota...Hi Taj....lol...😂..I miss our chats...we had a laugh at Elland! I'm glad your enjoying the videos! I have some great memories in Huddersfield and Halifax! Do you want me to do a video on laughing?...Like as in...just laughs..!!!😂😃
I wonder what is the minimum and maximum time off you get if the bus operator is assaulted in New York City Bus Operators gets up to 2 years off for it.
When I was a driver years ago, this was a common problem, I experienced it numerous times in London. Back then it was just a case of it's part of the job. It's vile and those responsible should be banned from travel on buses for life. Glad you are ok and the animal responsible was apprehended.
The public are pretty good on the whole. It's really unfortunate that you and indeed many drivers have to go through such experiences to simply get on with your days work, I understand that things don't always go to plan, and buses are at the mercy of many different situations, ie the weather, traffic, accidents and so on, but that is not an excuse for individuals to abuse drivers for trying to do their job. 99% of the time, buses work perfectly fine, but that other 1% , it's a bit of a nightmare out there, once again, glad you are ok.
Bus drivers certainly do not deserve this!
Unfortunately its a common occurance far too many chavs on the buses wholly devoid of any manners.
Nobody deserves this.
In japan it would probably be unheard of people spitting.
No they don't they are just working to earn a living they don't need it
The one I spat on did. Not this guy though he's a good busdriver.
You are a very nice driver. Very experienced.
Swingull ...thanks...it comes with years of putting up with abuse and not reacting to it in the same way that we are treated!
But some days...it's hard to take the abuse!
Yes

I have respect for ALL bus drivers for all the shit they have to put up with. Top man Anton 👍
DRIVE THE BUS! haha respect to anton, i know drivers that react very badly to people like that idiot... good on you for keeping your composure anton!

It's like sitting on a bus and watching the changing camera angles of the CCTV. Very fitting.

Him: DRIVE THE BUS
Drive the bus drive the bus 😂

That's not normal behaviour! 😠
DoubleDeckerAnton it’s not nice because drivers have to drive
“Drive the bus! Drive the bus!”
* all passengers join in *
“Drive the bus! Drive the bus!”
The driver will either let it get to him, or just laugh and carry on!

It was at Rushy Green, I called code red, the first thing they said to me was "How old are you" I said what's my age got to do with me being assaulted, I want to know should I got to the hospital can get tested as the spit went on my face and in my eyes. The said it's up to you what you want to do, I was so pissed off with Centercom's response, I carried on as not to disrupt the service, but now I know what to do as all buses have spit kits on.
Thats probably why he said DRIVE THE BUS... Blue lights were after him lol
Soo glad I don't have to use public transport
Abze Ali ...its not that bad!
I've only been spat on twice in 16 years!
It is a safe job compared to say a policemans job!
I am very sorry, those people are gits
H11 Apprentice ....this person was a 'one-off'..don't let it put you off being a Bus Driver! Good and bad things happen to us all!
This is not how you thank the bus driver.
I know the feeling, you must have been feel disgusting. Respect for you mate!.... I've been spitting 3 times in total, first time in 2019 was in Rotterdam, same person twice, the second time was in 2020 in Utrecht, all about not checking in with your personal chipcard. Some peeps are really disgusting.
What u expect, the chavs
Lolol44332211 Rede ..yes...lol
Nice video! Disgusting some of the people who get on buses! You or any other driver don’t deserve this!! But I guess thats just the state society is in i’m afraid :(

I really dislike people who knowingly play loud music, it's very annoying.
These bus drivers should be respected because they take u to ur destination.
😂😂😂😂😂😂 the reenactment was gold.
Oh very sorry to hear that. Passenger should get reported
Oh my god u had such a bad day, I really feel for you and more importantly those poor poor people that were deserted on that distasteful day in May.
wow i'm so sorry to hear this, after I've watched this video i thought to myself why do we have people like these in this world, ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING. i have been spat on so many times myself by young yobs, it is just dreadful, i think that they should be put in prison, the young community is terrible, i hope you are okay and have not been affected in any way all the best from carol!
21 Dank ...thanks Carol. ..I'm ok...bit traumatised at the time...but yes....it's not a nice thing....I was just doing my job!
If we try and get involved by interacting with passengers. ...we put ourselves out there ...and we dont know how we will be treated!
We have to serve the public!😃
It’s about how you deal with situation, if you embarrass people in public they could react. Speak to people with a nice tone and they not going to feel like crap in public. It’s worked for me 9 years. That person in Anton bus was unwell, even Anton said.
You getting mad respect man
Sorry to hear about you're experience with spitting , i have just joined the bus service stagecoach in cheltenham gloucestershire .
I saw him on the route 106 the guy who keep saying drive the bus I got scared
This is a pure nice person who deserves no more of this shit, still good vid 👍🏻👍🏻
Every time he says 'drive the bus', take a shot. You're Welcome.
Sounds like a regular occurrence in Birmingham and I was on the bus when it happened a few weeks ago a women was abusive on her phone every 10 minutes shouting and swearing and I was like oh it's just the 11 route you'd always get people like that on there
TheCarArchives ...yes..there are some right characters you see on the bus!
Some make you laugh and some nearly make you cry!
That is very true
Your videos are awesome always look foward to new uploads. Sorry you had such rude people you all do a fab job
...thanks Dale...😊👍
I've been spat on 42 times in 16 years as a bus driver for First Glasgow. The public are pathetic.
New sub that’s terrible I’m sorry to hear this
we don't even have working radios in our busses and if people get on and refuse to pay the company will penalise the driver, not the passenger. had kids spitting at people phoned up and asked for the police I was told to carry on.
Hi I am a retired bus driver in Australia, This is the same on the Gold Coast, If someone refuses to pay it was company policy for the driver to issue a ticket and pay for the unpaid fare himself.
@@craigsinclair-tilley2074 we was the same we had a run that passed a football ground and their would be about 90 people trying to get on.
You could only focus on the customer paying while others would bunk on then inspector would get on 2stops later I had it once where it cost me 45 out an 80 shift.
When u was working in Yorkshire was Keighley the place you were working at 😂
It was mainly Huddersfield, Halifax, Bradford, Oldham/Manchester. But I did drive around Keighley when I helped out at Skircoat road depot.
If he started coach work... He would no longer to be able to be called DoubleDeckerAnton. He would have to be called "SingleDeckerAnton" or "SmallerDoubleDeckerAnton" that's only if you have a double decker coach! ;)
PTDriver 0429 ...Lol..yes...😆
You are a very good story teller, But it's very upsetting that people will do this.
Obviously their parents didn't raise them properly and didn't deserve children in the first place if they think this is okay
I'm a kid who's starting to get a bit more interested in buses and I have lost faith in humanity
WHO WOULD DO SUCH A THING?! 😡
Why would anyone do this! It’s not hard to say where you want to go, pay the driver and take a seat. I feel very bad for bus drivers. They always look quite unhappy, but i know why now. they have to deal with this discussing behaviour from passengers! Also, it’s not just spitting on buses, there have been reports of people (who are ususally drunk) weeing on buses wich is just horrid!
Lift channel 256 ...Yes...some people just like to be nasty to other people!
They like to take it out on others!
We as bus drivers have to not react to it...but at times..it's testing!
I've witnessed this alot lately in Australia, since they introduced the Myki card system similar to your oyster cards. Well since you don't have to pay now as you enter only tap on, many people feel as though they can just waltz on now and expect to be shophered around, then when confronted they hurl abuse or attack the driver. So my question is does this happen to you and what is the general reaction from both sides?
Wow he actually paid, oh my god that's a story to tell the grandkids.
Take a shot every time he says "bus"
Oh god, thats horrible
I treat bus driver like dignified humans like one time that on a fieldtrip when I'm in Grade 4, I offer him to get my chips(junkfood)but he declined.
Airplane Plus Train Guy ...that's nice of you! I've had passengers give me sweets but sometimes they want to get off/alight the bus inbetween stops and that's when I realise there intention! 😁
Oh poor you
Yorkshire transport fan and more ....I'm ok....it's part of the job!
DoubleDeckerAnton I think he's being sarcastic mate?
h9vids his whole channel is about buses and transportation so probably not
I am a Freedom Pass holder, I was issued with it in 2007, I was wondering how difficult people with Freedom Passes found it to get given one by their London borough?
Matt Beardsworth ...I'm not sure myself how the passes are given out! At 60 years of age, the government introduced free travel!
It's been a great idea since it was Brought in around 2003.
If I was a bus driver and someone spat on me I would force them to get off the bus no matter what the consequences are.
i imagine the guy shouting "drive the bus" was in a hurry to escape a crime he just did
Hi anton. I saw your video and decided to subscribe. I hope you are well. I looked out for you when I worked at Tfl in central london. I have a request. I want you to make a video of you laughing. I remember when you used to laugh I used to be close to tears laughing so hard. Take care and god bless
Taj Sahota...Hi Taj....lol...😂..I miss our chats...we had a laugh at Elland! I'm glad your enjoying the videos!
I have some great memories in Huddersfield and Halifax!
Do you want me to do a video on laughing?...Like as in...just laughs..!!!😂😃
Think people like you are great at jobs like this because you know how to handle situations correctly if I were your boss I would promote you!😃
Samster794 ...it's taken me well over a decade to develop a 'thick skin' to out up with the abuse we get on a near daily basis!
At least I give some of my pretzels to the bus driver
Wish my bus had a screen. Greetings from USA, transit operator of 3 years
I wonder what is the minimum and maximum time off you get if the bus operator is assaulted in New York City Bus Operators gets up to 2 years off for it.
Jaime Pimentel ...I'm not sure Jaime!
Everybody deals with it in a different way!
When I was a driver years ago, this was a common problem, I experienced it numerous times in London. Back then it was just a case of it's part of the job. It's vile and those responsible should be banned from travel on buses for life. Glad you are ok and the animal responsible was apprehended.
Aaron Oxford ...Yes...I'm glad he was brought to the court and had to see what he did!
I didn't want him doing it to someone else!
The public are pretty good on the whole. It's really unfortunate that you and indeed many drivers have to go through such experiences to simply get on with your days work, I understand that things don't always go to plan, and buses are at the mercy of many different situations, ie the weather, traffic, accidents and so on, but that is not an excuse for individuals to abuse drivers for trying to do their job. 99% of the time, buses work perfectly fine, but that other 1% , it's a bit of a nightmare out there, once again, glad you are ok.
