Driver of 6865 had to transfer passengers on the 23 since one person decided they weren't going to pay.

Isn't there a button on the ticket machine to log non payers? Paying passengers should not be subjected to disruption and transferring buses. People who don't pay fares make me so angry but punishing everyone else is just wrong.

Pretty sure there's still the (pink?) anomaly button.

2 passengers get on my 11C at harborne today sit behind me drinking their cans of beer or whatever shit they are drinking and then light up a cigarette right behind me.
Nuisance passenger to blame for disruption. Not driver. Quite obvious other passengers shouldn't have to put up with this or what trident4194 said in his earlier post about the passengers smoking. But some people show a complete disregard to other customers and make everyones journey unpleasent.

There was a girl vaping on the X2 this morning to even though quite clear she's not supposed to.

A) do the drivers know
B) what do you expect them to do?

most busses have cctv screens in drivers cabs so they can keep an eye upstairs if your forgetting MMCs have two screens it's pretty obvious a cloud of smoke i've been on a 95 and the whole bus stunk of week only too go upstairs too see people at the back smoking weed happens regularly especially in the evenings loud music playing bud smelling of weed and drivers continue too drive

So put the driver at risk to go upstairs and have a word?

Yes it's annoying, but there's a button for it, and hopefully the more it's recorded it'll get dealt with

Do bus drivers really get paid enough to risk their lives these days, same with shop workers. Not worth the risk.

Looks like 7519 might be off the road for a bit after a bump in Solihull, that's definitely one way to wake up in the morning.

With the University Station redevelopment Well underway now and due to finish this year, I wonder if it'll have an effect on the X21/X22. I.e make train travel more appealing?
