Twirlies

[Ex BC driver]

Not long ago, I had one try and use their pass at 7:05am, and i explained to them the pass couldn't be used before 9:30am, to which they payed. Other times they've just completely blanked me and sat down. Anyone experienced earlier than 7:05am?

I was waiting for a 06somethingorother diamond service and a OAP came out of their house and tried to use it on said diamond service. We was waiting for 10 minutes whilst the driver and pensioner were arguing the rules!

EDIT - Now I remember it was the 0656 ex Stream Road to Merry Hill 226

0640hrs was the earliest I ever had.

A driver stopped a old lady using her pass and told her she couldn't use it and it was around 9:27/-9:28.

its always the same old faces trying it on too!!!!! obviously the rule is there for a reason, so i dont understand why pass holders have to go out first thing, snag early appointments etc when they dont need to. having to wait until 9.30am then ride for free as much as you like, aint that hard to do for free transport. either that or move to an area where they can, like some staffordshire pass holders can use theirs anytime

Nothing wrong with that. If you came into my bar at 11.01pm you're not getting served.
Valid times are valid times. Doesn't matter if its a little old lady or a bloke in his 30s.

No need for that, especially that early in the day!

I've seen a couple of them argue with a driver at around 9:27am
Then by the time they've finished, it's 9:30am and suddenly they're calmed down, swiped their pass and sat down.
Crafty ay?
