I can understand your annoyance but it isn't the bus driver's job to allocate seats.
If the guy didn't move if you asked him nicely then he was the one you should have been annoyed with. I would have stood up for the duration of the journey if I was you, as close to him as was humanly possible.

I find that many of them are pleasant & sometimes help elderly ladies get their shopping trolleys off the bus.There used to be a bus driver that always did the route from where I live into town ( about 2-3 miles) and at Christmas he was given lots of gifts by his passengers, because he was so pleasant. Maybe that was because they all got on his bus and sat on the seats that were available!
I am just wondering how many of them would look for another job, if they have to put up with passengers complaining because they can't sit where they want & get reported when they didn't sort it? How will people, who need buses, be able to travel when there are not enough drivers?

Re: My Video'd Altercation With An Arriva Driver!
On my last train journey I had pre-booked my seat, but when I got on someone was sitting in it. I told them that I had booked the seat, but the chap refused to move and was most unpleasant. As a result, I had to spend the hour long journey standing beside the toilet door. Perhaps I should have gone and had a go at the train driver, as there was no guard?

You should have sat on the guys lap CeeCee.Last time I was on a long train journey they hadn't put the reservations out so we all ended up annoyed and separated from each other many standing who had reservations. This was also on a really hot day.
