Lets salute the bus driver?
sorry if it sounds harsh to pensioners but you are not god in this world
first lets look at the facts:
the story stated that she had a 2 wheel trolley however the picture featured show her with a 4 wheel.
she then stated she was asked to leave infact she dcided to leave.
where she boarded the bus there are at least 2 other service that run the route she was on
many people pull young mums down why? shopping trollys are not priorty, many buses up and down the uk have disabled and buggy zones, for wheelchairs and buggys only.
trolleys come last, to many pensioners are rude and abrute talking from experience when my wife was pregnant she boarded a bus and was refused a seat by a abrute pensioner because according to the word of god(pensioners) trolleys have priorty over passengers.
PENSIONERS DO NOT RULE THIS WORLD WITH THEIR TROLLEYS

I agree with the above I suffer from back troubles and a heart defect yet when I was pregnant with my second child whenever I was on a bus with our oldest child who at the time was still in a buggy if a pensioner got on with a trolley we were the ones who got the dirty looks if we did not move for them. Yes they are older then us but that does not give them priority over buggies and wheelchairs most seats on buses can fit a trolley in between seats or if you prefer to put trolleys in designated luggage bays some one on the bus or if not the driver will help you lift them into those areas. There is no excuse for being nasty I feel sorry for the bus driver they work long hours and do a good job making sure we get to our desitnations on time without people complaining about them.

On the whole find elderly people VERY Rude, about 5 years ago I was waiting for a bus, in a queue 2 elderly ladies came up to me and asked whether a certain bus had already gone, I said no thats the one I am waiting for. The bus arrived people got on, upon entering the bus I felt a prodding in my back, It was one of the old ladies with a stick saying, "Excuse me what are you doing, we're on first" I politely said "I was in the queue well before you, don't you remember asking if the bus had arrived" she said loudly so others could hear. "Oh the youth of today are so rude" So I replied with "How are the youth of today supposed to have manners when older people don't have any to teach them" with that she shut up, loads of people were smiling and I duly entered the bus pretty pleased with myself. Like any section of society you always get "Gooduns and Baduns " it just seems with the elderly most are the Baduns, Try walking down the High Street or in M&S and the filthy looks you get for having the audacity to walk faster than them, the amount of times I have opened a door for someone old and not recieved a Thank You is staggering, yet younger people have mostly shown gratitude, so I no longer open doors for the elderly. A lot of elderly people seem to be of the opinion that society owes them something. When I was younger many would come into the shop I worked and say "I am paying your wages" Until one day I snapped and said "My taxes are contributing to your pension".

Holding a door open, giving way on the roads, general courtesy - these things are totally alien to the chav generations of today. At least old folks understand basic courtesy, even if some have turned a touch curmudgeonly as their years have advanced...

Chavs aren't the only generation of young people, you would do well to remember that.
