'Why are we putting up with this?' - Dublin Bus driver on facing 'regular' assaults at work.
"[I was] quite happily doing my job, going into work and driving the bus, and before I knew it I just heard an almighty roar: 'Stop, stop the f***ing bus' - top volume all over a full bus of people.
"I calmly told him 'When I get to the next bus stop I'll stop' and I was told 'You'll stop the f****ing now you stupid b***h'"."It definitely took me by surprise, I'll say that much, but I had to obviously try and keep control of a bus full of people who were obviously as shocked as I was. "One woman said to him 'Leave her alone, she's just doing her job' and she was told 'Zip it you interfering b***h' - and I thought now he's abusing my passengers."She said the Gardaí did arrive, but had been on several other callouts for the same reason.
