Is a bus driver allowed to do something like that?

Hello,

First of all, I take the bus from school every morning and at lunchtime (always just a few stops). Nothing unusual has ever happened to me, except for the odd thing (missing the bus/bus being late/little things).

But this morning when I wanted to get on the bus the bus driver didn't open the door at the front and gave me a kind of hand signal which I interpreted as meaning to get on at the back. When I then went through the door to the back the driver closed it when I was halfway through which meant I was stuck. The door didn't open automatically like it should in a situation like that which is why I was worried that he would just drive off with me in between. So I called out loudly for him to open the door. I said it loudly and firmly because I wanted him to know that I was in between. Then he called out with a bright red face that he wasn't waiting for me because of the traffic and why I was being cheeky. The door then opened again and because I usually avoid unpleasant situations I just sat down and kept quiet.

I've seen this driver on several occasions not being particularly polite to passengers (yelling at a little boy because he didn't have his ticket ready/hurling insults at an older man for God knows what reasons), which is why I'm almost certain he deliberately trapped me.

I've never had any problems with a bus driver before, and I have a lot of respect for the profession. But now that this has happened to me, I'd like to know if and how I can take action against him (is this already negligent bodily harm? Should I report him or just ignore it? A good friend of mine already knows about it, but he hasn't had a solution either).

I'm really sorry for this long text but I don't know how else to explain the extent of the situation.

Thanks in advance for any answers 🙂

(Yes, I've asked this question before, but I encountered exactly the same driver today at a zebra crossing. He accelerated on the way there, which he's allowed to do, but it's already in a gray area, especially since I and a cyclist were crossing at that moment. I've simply had enough and think that someone who uses a vehicle like that shouldn't have a driver's license, let alone be responsible for a bus.)

You can complain to the relevant transport companies.

To do this, you should specify the time, direction of travel and line. Then you can determine exactly what driver it was.

Of course it does. No boss likes to hear when his staff is completely on the other side.

When I went back through the door, the driver when I was halfway through the door was closed, which is why I was stuck.

How did not have 1950!

It is NOT possible to set up, today we had breakfast GG and Junior driving Strabs. Because someone said the same thing. I guess that was you.

Once someone in the light barrier, at about 30cm height, no driver can close an automatic door. The function is suspended Without an off-board vehicle, Strabs buses/ trains through the TÃœV.

There are both. The problem the door closes only automatically when no one goes through, you must have plucked. What then also explains the driver’s anger, they lose extreme time due to such incidents. Every minute counts.

Then tell me exactly how it was with you. Instead of just admitting what similar happened to me.

And again as written GG and Junior drive Strab. There’s no more practice. You won’t be able to fly either. For so far the light barriers usually sit at a height of 20-30 cm, which has already led to the dogs being squeezed in because they were too small. Bags Above If the bus/stream is too full and the backpacks remain attached. Someone took the head to look out where the buddies stay. Therefore, the vehicles newly registered in D should cover the entire door height.

No something similar has happened to me two years ago so you either tell me intentionally crap or you have no experience as it works in practice!

I wrote to you

So the door only closes when no one stands in the light barrier? but I stood in the door too long, so the doors have closed ?🤨

Doors do not go, never, nikoly when the light barrier is interrupted, even after 4 hours. The bus cannot be started. Before that, the driver’s throwing you out. And even with a fancy light barrier, the doors would also not be closed and the bus could not be moved a millimeter.

You mean you can tell me what you want, the story is not true. You mean who’s trolling here is you.

So I would at least complain if there was an ad even after now. Someone who uses such a large vehicle almost as a “weapon” is in the profession maximally wrong.

Something similar happened to me, but unfortunately the complaint office did not do much. Well, you’re lucky.

there is one side of your traffic companies where you can write complaints. there is usually a small compensation such a 10 Euro voucher or so.

Yes, this age doesn’t play a vital role, but your problem that you tell them.
