Improving conditions for bus drivers was a personal priority for me. That's why I pushed for air conditioning in every London bus cab - and I’m pleased to see an agreement between TfL and @UnitetheUnion is making that happen.

I remember my dad telling me what it was like to be a bus driver in 1976 and the challenges of those working conditions. I’ve instructed TfL to contact every bus operator to make sure our drivers know their safety is always a priority, especially in extreme heat.

London bus drivers are being pushed to their limits during heatwaves like this 🌡️ While temperatures hit 30°C+, driver cabs can soar above 40°C, creating dangerous working conditions that worsen fatigue, dehydration and stress. Many drivers report faulty air conditioning, inadequate cooling systems, and pressure to keep buses running despite unsafe temperatures. Some even avoid drinking water because they don't have reliable access to toilets. This isn't just a workers' issue. it's a public safety issue. Fatigue caused by extreme heat can reduce concentration, slow reaction times and increase the risk of accidents. Through our #FightFatigueNow campaign, we're demanding urgent action from Tfl and bus companies. London's bus drivers deserve safe working conditions. Passengers deserve safe journeys. ✊ #busdriver #BusDrivers #Heatwave #LondonBuses #tfl

Now I know that TFL monitors social media, why is this nonsense being allowed to carry on in London, what is happening here is so wrong, yet TFL are quick to take action against the London Cab Drivers for points on their licence, so are these scumbags fit and proper?

Around 1,500 bus drivers working for Aviva North London have gone on strike over the hot weather. The strikes, planned by Unite the Union for 11 different occasions between now and mid-October, are urging Arriva to replace its air-cooling system with air conditioning. They walked out today as part of a strike which will continue into tomorrow. Wasim Mohammed, managing director of Arriva London, said on Friday that extreme heat was "creating challenges across many sectors, including London’s bus network" and that the wellbeing of staff and customers was the company's "top priority". He said additional support had been introduced for drivers and urged Unite to "come back to the negotiating table".

Haven Green Bus Stand, Ealing. "Clean air for London" it says on the side of this TfL route E8. Doors open, no driver and engine on. I am actually type trained on this particular model of bus. So I could have hopped in the driver's cab and driven off. Tickets please? 😂

Bus drivers have started refusing to drive buses without working air conditioning. When temperatures rise, a functional AC system isn't a luxury it’s a safety necessity for both drivers and passengers.

London’s bus drivers play a vital role in keeping our city moving, especially during these extreme heat conditions. I’m deeply grateful for their dedication - their safety must always be our top priority.

I was recently arrested by Sandford Police Commentary for calling an unmarked police office a bus driver because he was driving in the bus lane. I have been sentenced to 800.85 days in prison. It's suspended for 717.75 years under the conditions I don't call anyone a bus driver.

The 1947 Bombardier B12 was a large, tracked snow vehicle, often called a "snow bus" or "snow cat," designed for transporting passengers and cargo in snowy conditions. It was powered by a Chrysler engine and featured a unique design with skis for steering and a rear track system for propulsion, making it popular for use as a winter school bus, ambulance, or for mail delivery.

🚨𝐀𝐑𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐘 𝐊𝐈𝐃𝐃𝐈𝐍𝐆? 🚎 Governor Hochul and Mayor Mamdani just announced an $800M plan to reduce bus rides by 6 mins. That means we’re going to driving lanes across our city to make way for more dedicated bus lanes, while adding hundreds more traffic cameras to issue even more tickets. That's not a transportation solution; it's another burden on hardworking New Yorkers. When was the last time the people making these decisions actually rode a city bus? If they did, they'd see what riders deal with every day—broken seats, buses without working air conditioning, and service that's too often unreliable. Before taking away more lanes and installing more cameras, let's fix the buses New Yorkers are already paying for.

Elon Musk: I guess I've been sort of pathologically optimistic from birth, but that's the reason all this stuff is happening anyway --- “When we were kids in school, my brother would tell me the wrong time for the bus so that I wouldn't miss the bus. And then I'd be upset with him. I like, 'Why'd you tell me the bus was going to come earlier than it was?' And he would say, 'Well, because otherwise you'd be late for the bus.' This is an actual thing that would happen. So, I guess I've been sort of pathologically optimistic from birth, but that's the reason all this stuff is happening anyway. I got to be somewhat pathologically optimistic, but I do deliver in the end. That's the important thing.” Source: Elon Musk Tesla Shareholder Meeting, June 2024

7 years on from the Paulley v Firstgroup ruling, which affirmed bus drivers’ duty to ask those with buggies to vacate the wheelchair space, this is still a weekly occurrence. Why am I regularly refused access to a bus and forced to wait for a 2nd or 3rd? Why does nothing change?
