1 day agoLondon bus drivers deserve kudos too | Brief letters
London bus drivers earn about half as much as tube drivers despite carrying a million more passengers daily.
They're the ones starting and stopping the train, watching for signals, keeping an eye on how the train is performing, and making sure it's safe to open and close the doors at each station. A tube driver's main job is to operate the train safely and make sure everything runs on time. That might sound simple, but there's a lot of focus and responsibility involved.
