    Great video as always don't let the riff raff passengers get you down that's all some passengers want to do is argue. I'm a bus user myself I have seen bad arguments between passengers having a go at drivers I feel like getting involved and saying he's only doing his job. The passenger is wrong because they rang the Bell too late. 👌👍

    I literally saw you yesterday Taylor at Plumstead bus garage at the open day it was absolutely amazing and I’ve got to give credit to all the bus drivers and everybody there for putting on a great effort for making this day special

    Hello Taylor, didn’t see you at the open day but the staff at PD put on a great effort, really getting into it taking photos and talking with the visitors. It was really well run and great to see the garage from a different angle (having gone past it every day for years when I lived down the road). Great stuff indeed.

    During the 2012 Olympics,I was living on the south coast.All the local stage coach buses disappeared & where replaced by much older vehicles.This lasted for about a month & then the local fleet returned.Some of those buses looked & rode like they'd found at the back of bus garages.
    Good look with your application Taylor.

    Hey Taylor, your videos pushed me to apply to join Stagecoach Midlands as a driver earlier this year. Two weeks ago I passed my driving test and I got to drive in service with my mentor for the first time today. Thanks for giving me the push I needed!

    Good luck in your application to drive at the commonwealth games mate, as a bus driver here in Auckland New Zealand i had the privilege of driving at 1990 commonwealth games which the company I worked for had won the contract it was great fun but a lot of courses to attend to beforehand but it was worth it.
    Enjoyed the video take care and stay safe

    Hey I wanted to know more information about when you did your theory test? Just a few things.
    What’s the pass mark? Because I googled it and I see two different answers😭
    Oh and what’s the best method you used to practice to help you pass your theory?

    • @TaylorStraub
      @TaylorStraub  2 роки тому +2

      Theory is 85/100, hazard perception is 67/100 and the cpc case study is 40/50. In terms of practise they gave us something called theory test pro it’s an online revision tool where you can read up on the theory and do practise tests

    Do you get a lot of violence towards drives in London? I'm not far from Sheffield over the last few years we had everything from a passenger get on a bus with a gun who threatened to shot the driver next up someone left a bomb on a bus more recently a driver was stabbed nearly died another was attacked with a chain .A lot of drivers have left due to many reasons most have gone on to HGV driving which has affected our services to the point their is no point in having a timetable anymore.

    • @TaylorStraub
      @TaylorStraub  2 роки тому +2

      No not really violence the only time someone has been violent on my bus is when I have had a mechanical problem with the bus and they have banged on the assault screen a couple of times most of the time it's just verbal abuse
