We have two bus companies Baz, First and Stagecoach. First seem to be stricter with Stagecoach allowing coffee on board as long as it has a top on, mine did. But I was trying to get onto a First bus.

I would prefer a complete ban on food and drink on all bus companies, therefore I would know where I stood and so does everyone else. 

I was ordered to get off a bus by the driver for no reason that I could see, It was at the bus stop before the one I would have got out anyway. I was 12 at the time and didn't argue with him.

I can't remember the last time I was on a bus but, in the days when I went on public transport, I often saw people eating and drinking.

I catch a bus home around 90 mins after the schools/colleges have finished... it's like riding in a wheelie bin some evenings!

the No 50 bus in birmingham, i used to get it everyday, i was as high as a kite by the time i got off the bus

drivers wont challenge the dodgy people, only the ones they think they might get away with

you must be a gentle soul EC

You must be joking, I'm 6ft 4in, training in six types of martial arts, got 6 firsts at Oxford and pack a .44 Magnum.

Nobody f***s with me.

Very true ...I used to do it every day , many moons ago , but had forgotten how hot and claustrophobic it was until I went to London last year and ended up in the rush hour  

The only thing they are iffy with around here is if you try to get on the bus with tins of flammable liquids, ie paint or turps. Mostly everything else goes

A friend and I were refused entry to a bus because we had cans of paint, which we'd just bought from the nearby B&Q. We hid them away and boarded the next bus, but asked the driver if there was any company-rule against sealed tins of paint being on-board. He told us there wasn't, as did the driver of the next bus we caught.

I think some drivers just invent their own rules, probably because a passenger has spilled coffee/paint ect. on their bus before.
