What do brisbane residents think of BCC bus drivers?

Answer 1

As a driver for Brisbane city council i wonder what this question is for did someone have a bad day and needs someone else to blame.

As for the idiot who believes the news the depot i work in had the same model bus run off through the car park. After the boss did his block it was found to be mechanical failure not driver error. All the buses use air pressure for there brakes and if an airline blows the rear brakes are supposed to lock up but this did not happen and the bus took off on it's own. So don't believe all you hear on the tele or read in the paper  

Answer 2

I've had exceptionally good and exceptionally bad experiences with BCC bus drivers - but mostly the former.

Perhaps the one area they could improve on is the knowledge of where things are - if you are not sure where you are going on a route, often they can't help you at all  - basically, they know the bus stop numbers, but nothing about what street they are near (and if you don't know where you are going, a bus stop number won't help).  But then, that's the fault of the information they are given.

On the whole - BCC bus drivers are a great bunch.

Answer 3

I think most of them are pretty good drivers, you get the occasional idiot who parks his bus and doesn't put on the hand break, like on the news last night, resulting in a run a way bus and nearly wiping some poor innocent by stander out. These drivers need instant dismissal.
