Commuters do not expect fiasco when it comes to a bus operator placing commuters in hysterics and ending to be a total shemozzle!
Busways today (24/2/2012), have had bus drivers losing their steering wheels so to say as i arrive at Mount Druitt to catch the Busways 755 due around 5.15pm. It took 5 Busways 758 to arrive before the Busways 755 arrived around 5.55pm.
As I approached one resting driver with the sign Busways 755 ( this bus had just turned into the Westbus bays and then went to rest), the driver advised me that since 12pm there was a bus strike by bus drivers and office staff are running buses since 12pm. There was no reason given to this driver for the strike! That's funny Unions do strike for their members unless their members know about it!
Later on a Busways 758 bus driver told that there was no strike - it's all wrong! there was confusion between Busways Management and Drivers as discussion were going on about having a meal room in Blacktown - whereas bus drivers have one in Mount Druitt. Then came Busways Driver who said don't worry about it - let the passengers in and ignored me! Finely the Busways 755 bus service arrived and he said no strike their was problems with school buses and all services are running - he denied there was a bus strike!
It appears bus drivers were gagged to say what it was but it left everyone wondering of something that went wrong. Commuters with shopping bags, work bags, food in trolleys were frustrated with the kaos that was created, in the great heat of the afternoon . One commuter contacted Busways Office Glendinning and then another commuter said because of her call the Busways 755 arrived. Busways have something to answer for here!
At least Busways could have communicated to commuters the proper 'Truth', left signs at each bus stands - no they didn't think of it! Management of Busways must now be proud of themselves, especially when they are the one's that decide which way commuters should be travelling, in Mount Druitt in Bus Region 1.
