Bus driver shares little-known rule why you can't get on after doors close

A bus driver has shared little-known rules about public transport - including why you can't get on after the doors close.

Stephen took to TikTok to share his insight on what it's like working on buses, saying he was sick of people blaming him when things don't go their way.

He said there were rules he had to follow - and one in particular related to the doors, as Stephen said he wasn't allowed to open them again once they had been closed.

Stephen, who drives buses in Glasgow, Scotland, said that the bus operators face a fine if they open the doors after 'servicing' a stop, and he could get in big trouble with his employer if he reopened them.

What do you think about Stephen's insight? Let us know in the comments...

Stephen, who posts to TikTok as @fatbusdriver87, said: "Quite a lot of people don’t know this. In the town, we are under TRC conditions which means they’re enforced by Glasgow City Council, SPT and our own inspectors.

"As soon as we’ve serviced a stop and the doors close we cannot open them again.

"The company faces a fine and can have their bus license for that vehicle taken off which means it costs them money.

"And we can get into serious s**t for it into the bargain. It’s nothing to do with the drivers.

"If it’s in the town that’s what it is, if it’s outside the town I can’t say."
