A driver was rude to me. The bus was noisy because some passengers were talking quite loudly

Wrong stop given on ticket. Stop is G not H. Ushered to run over by first driver who was sick. Nicer than the second guy who got on at Northampton. 5am in the morning all passengers sleeping and he is calling someone on loudspeaker. Totally unprofessional.
