A London bus driver has said the job has become harder and harder, referring to fatigue and
00:06
poor conditions. One former bus driver who had been in the job for 17 years said she
00:12
felt unsafe and that the buses were becoming more crowded, the brakes insufficient and
00:18
the conditions uncomfortable. Transport for London has said it takes drivers' welfare
00:23
seriously and is working on a range of measures to improve working conditions, health and
00:30
wellbeing. It comes after drivers marched through the streets of London in protest of
00:36
working conditions. In an interview with the BBC, Ms Robertson said passengers, pedestrians
00:43
and cyclists were making the job more difficult and little support was coming from the bus
00:49
companies. She said the buses are getting more and more packed, it's unsafe conditions,
00:54
the passengers don't care, the cabs are freezing in the winter and too hot in the summer.
