Its surprising how many bus driver blogs there are and how (beyond the usual comments about passengers and traffic jams) they give a good sense of life behind the wheel. I wrote last year about corporate blogs, usually written by the suits (yes, me included) and with the active or at least passive support of the bosses – I need to read these a bit more to see whether the blokes (yes they are all generally blokes) are taking a stand or getting away with it because bus company managers just don’t pick up on this sort of thing. Most reaffirm my confidence in the people at the wheel – very few “this job would be ok if it wasnt for the passenger” whinges…
try these for size:
The Hampshire megabus driver blog – which first got me exploring this corner of the bloggersphere

An eye opening account from a glasgow bus driver at http://www.bloodbus.com/
