EU forces bus company to dump passengers every half hour | the Daily Mail

That means you can't go from Accrington to Blackpool without a change of drivers or buses...........what a load of tosh?

I deduct very quickly that this is not your subject.

Out of interest, if it is only the UK that have implemented the idea, why do you care so much? You're not in UK, you're in Spain :confused:

I think I qualify and it is my right to comment on what goes on in the UK.
I still hold a British Passport.

I just don't see what your interest is in the bus service, or how your taxes are really being wasted with this implementation, which is why I don't see the point in the rant, and like I said, I don't see any negativity in it.

If you want educating on the Public Transport System...Study it as I did.
My health care is covered without having to resort to the NHS...which is still my entitlement.
It would be rather interesting how much tax you have paid..have you had a job.
Making a thread on education............you have got to be joking.
Why dont you pull your horns in and stop being a stroppy little non entity?

I just have a viewpoint and I think the compulsory breaks are nothing but beneficial. I can't see what the negative aspect is of it, and so far you haven't convinced me that it is a bad thing.

No it was brought in for HGV vehicles but buses are covered by the same legislation.

If it isn’t then if anyone ever wanted a reason for the UK to dump the EU then surely this must be it.

What is going to be next?

The real Muppets is the British government for allowing the Brussels Muppets to dictate as they do.

The sooner we get out of the EU the better.

The ONLY negative downside I can see from a bit of further thought in regards to HGV and (if covered) coaches, is that there would always need to be two drivers at all times, but it woulnt be as much of a problem with buses....

Yes which is why I pinpointed it as a NEGATIVE thing.

I still think this is an absolutely absurd reason to suggest leaving the EU though. As pointed out, every other member country decided against it, and we didn't. It's OUR government you should be questioning, not the EU.
