Although Rush Travel is a private bus company, it is the one that over 100 of us use to get to and from school everyday. A few years ago it used to be reasonable. We payed our money every term and along came a coach to transport us. But now, we pay £100 a term, that's £300 a year, and we get this bangy old double decker bus which leaks. There is also no heating, so during the winter months, it is like stepping into an ice house, which normally stinks of fags as the driver has just managed to complete his box of 20 Benson. So, here you are, sitting on this rather stunning piece of rubbish, freezing cold, wet and with a foul stench in the air. What also worries me is safety. We also pick up small children from first school, and it seems to me that the drivers think that it is a race to get to school, quite happily doing about 60mph along a country road, and talking on a mobile at the same time. In the 2 and a half weeks we have been back at school, we have already had 2 accidents on the bus, one which I witnessed as the bus turned the corner so sharply and fast, that a little girl from first school fell off her seat and burst her nose which bled everywhere. Not very pleasant. Basically, Rush Travel charge extortionate prices for biscuit tins on wheels that have people off their seats and bleeding. Not very satisfactory.
