Aye, and they are the worst bus drivers I have ever had the displeasure of sharing a public road with anywhere on the planet.

Half of them would be jailed for dangerous driving if they were in the UK.

Much the same in Uruguay.

Exceeding the speed limits seems to be a prerequisite for getting a bus driving job.

Aye, dunno about you, but I have small children. I see these Fkucking idiots tearing the place up, as you mention, wayyyyyyy over the speed limit.

I gave one of them shit last month for stopping on the carriage way to pick-up, instead of using the actual bus stop.
Prick started ranting about me not having a driving licence for a bus.

Pished on his chips when I produced my Brasilian driving licence, - Groups A to E. (cant get higher than that in Brasil)

Bellends the lot of them. (bus drivers & taxi drivers the world over)
