Stalled in Traffic, A Bus Oddity

Image
By

So, you’re drivin' yir bus, humming away to classic tunes in my head, especially in in times of dread. Here's one from the other day when i was stuck in heavy traffic.

Bus Oddity

Traffic Control to Driver John

Traffic Control to Driver John

Take your caffeine pills and put your shirt & tie on

Traffic Control to Driver John (ten, nine, eight, seven, six)

Commencing countdown, engine on (five, four, three, two)

Check ignition and may God's love be with you (one, drive off)

♫♪

This is Traffic Control to Driver John

You have not made the grade

And your supervisor wants to know the colour of shoes you wear

Now it's time to leave the bus cab if you dare

This is Driver John to Traffic Control

I'm stepping through the door

And I'm moving in no particular way

And the cars look very different today

For here

Am I sitting in a tin can

Road traffic has unfurled

I'll do my best to get through

But there's not much I can do

♫♪

Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles

I'm feeling very still

And I think my bus buddy knows which way to go

Tell my wife I love her very much she knows

Traffic Control to Driver John

Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong

Can you hear me, Driver John?

Can you hear me, Driver John?

Can you hear me, Driver John? Can you-

Here am I rattling 'round my tin can

Hoping to be home soon

More overtime is due

And there's nothing I can do

♫♪

The Rolling Chronicles: Life, Lanes, and Lessons from the Driver’s Seat

By
As a city bus driver, I'm not just steering through traffic, I'm navigating a sea of stories, personalities, and unexpected moments. From heartfelt conversations to the chaos of the commute, every ride is an unscripted adventure. So, join me behind the wheel as we dive into the life and lanes of public transport, where every journey has a tale to tell. Navigating the City Through Stories: The Bus Driver’s Perspective on Life and Lanes Public transit isn’t just about getting from point A to B, it’s a living, breathing network of people, stories, and unexpected moments. This blog is where bus drivers, transport pros, and curious passengers come together, sharing experiences from behind the wheel and beyond. As a city bus driver, I’m more than just a navigator, I’m a storyteller, a streetwise sage, and sometimes even an impromptu therapist. Every shift is an unscripted adventure, filled with colourful characters, urban rhythms, and the occasional bit of chaos. From late-night conf...

When the City Slows Down Long Enough to Catch Up

By
Four former wedding photographers, one Edinburgh heatwave, and enough old stories to fill a photo album. What started as casual drinks on George Street became an afternoon of laughter, nostalgia, alfresco dining, and rediscovering the city through fresh eyes. Sometimes the best memories arrive quietly, over Guinness, cocktails, and Edinburgh architecture glowing in the sun. There’s something oddly restorative about seeing your city through the eyes of friends who don’t get into town nearly as often as they’d like. The moment they stepped onto George Street, the usual comments returned almost instantly, how grand Edinburgh feels, how every second building looks like it belongs on a postcard, and how even an ordinary wander between bars somehow turns into an accidental architecture tour. As locals, you forget that sometimes. You spend so much time navigating the city around shift patterns, traffic lights, diversions, and roadworks that you stop properly looking at it. But yesterday felt ...

When Your Driver's Instinct Kicks In

By
Sometimes being a good bus driver isn't about what you do. It's about noticing what everyone else missed. A passenger says they're fine. Your instincts aren't quite convinced. So what do you do when something feels wrong, but isn't quite wrong enough to intervene? Sometimes nothing obvious has happened, but something doesn’t quite add up. Recognising the signs and simply asking, “Are you okay?” can be the most important action of all. There are plenty of things you expect to deal with on a bus. Late runners. People who wave at you from half a mile away. Someone insisting they definitely pressed the bell (they didn't). And, of course, the daily debate over whether the empty seat next to someone is actually occupied by an invisible friend. Then there are the moments that aren't in the timetable. Recently, I was doing a driver change when I noticed a bloke sitting at the back of the lower deck chatting away to a lone female passenger. He appeared to be under th...
