  I am wondering if she got off the bus there and tried to cross the road in front of the bus, many people including myself do that.

  I hope the lady is OK, thank goodness there were witnesses to prove it was not the driver's fault.
  
  Surely it is asking for trouble to cross any road in front of a bus that might pull away or make the driver run late.

  I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

  The 101/102 bus stops there between 2 and 5 minutes while the driver does his paperwork before finishing in Pencester Road Jan. The more dangerous place to cross is from Dour Street where Brian describes, traffic coming from all directions.

  Oh! I see, I still think it is a silly thing to do.
  
  Just seen the following on Facebook......................."The lady is ok and home she broke her collar bone and thanked every one on FB for their kindness."
