Fake abuse for bus drivers

Fake abuse for bus drivers :

"Actors and frequent bus travellers are being hired to pose as irate customers in the taxpayer-funded project.

In a twist on patrons paying for being late or left on the side of the road, successful applicants will get $23.16 an hour to vent their spleen and prepare drivers for the public relations warfare they face on the streets."

Pay to encourage the tolerance of abuse and ill manners?? Civility costs nothing. How about some lessons in dignity and decorum for all concerned. I cannot believe we would tolerate ill manners being the status quo. The article points out that drivers can also be rude. True, but rare. Bus drivers can also be lacking in consideration for the physical stabilty of their passengers ...true, but it's often the pressure of trying to meet deadlines and timetables. Sydney bus drivers have had the tunnel saga as well everything else. Now, take a deep breath and let's everyone think of treating people with respect and let's pay to teach manners not ignorance. Truly, I'm appalled. We get what we are prepared to accept and if we are prepared to accept ill mannered ignorant pigs AND pay for them...don't ...oh...grrrrr... how preposterous that rudeness is valued above civility. I am truly scandalised....take a good long look at the transport system if everyone is getting tetchy!
