Bus Driver X

TfL Bus Driver very concerned about TfL and Bus Companies abdication of their responsibility to operate surface transport honourably in London.

[Mart @MartCAFC45]

@driverXpcv @comadad @TfL @BBCLondonNews It’s same for taxi drivers as well even worse now work nothing open .

[Tom Kearney @comadad]

“Amazon apologises for wrongly denying drivers need to urinate in bottles.” @TfL Bus Drivers tell me this is a common practice on London Bus Routes b/c of longstanding lack of toilet provision. Why has @BBCLondonNews never felt compelled to report it?

[Bus Driver X @driverXpcv]

@comadad @TfL @BBCLondonNews @TfL bus drivers have had to inrinate/defecate where they can. In bottles, jars, on upper decks, lower decks, bushes, anywhere! Where you are not supplied basic amenities, or they are overlooked, your workforce has to manage the reality of the situation as messed up as it is.

HT>@KeithPrinceAM for compelling @MayorofLondon to provide us with "#Covid19 Deaths by Operator" data on 3 August https://t.co/RCwMJAsn9e

#StopKillingBusDrivers "Metroline had highest number of bus drivers who died from #COVID19 btw March & May, accounting for 38% of all deaths, despite employing just 16% of London bus drivers, according to figures compiled by @comadad." HT>@WSWS_Updates https://t.co/v6SwmaBHCQ

[Tom Kearney @comadad]

#StopKillingBusDrivers Well said @RodrickSilva3! Appears @SadiqKhan didn’t use Statutory/Contractual Powers he has as @MayorofLondon & @TfL Chair to protect London Transport Workers from #COVID19. Did @MichaelMarmot investigate? @MLiebreich says “Nope” https://t.co/wPGw2qp3mh

@BusSafetyRep @therealdojj @TheMarmotReview @TfL @ucl @ShelaghFogarty ICYMI @driverXpcv had been blogging about Fatigue Risk for years before @TfL bothered to contract @lborouniversity to conduct that study. Q: why didn’t @UniteLondonEast fund a reputable group to conduct study of its own? It’s not like Kavanagh didn’t know! https://t.co/JY16pm5hIp

Driver Workforce already lacked resilience due to years of known poor conditions. https://t.co/vCpFhiQjt8
