I'm on the 77 bus on a busy road and I see ahead two pedestrians moving in the midst of all the traffic to cross the road at the crossing. That is what I see but what does the driver of my bus see? Something different. Yes, he stops at the crossing but across it as he doesn't see the pedestrians but past them to his friend who is driving another 77 bus ahead of us which is coming from the opposite direction. This other bus had already stopped at the crossing for the two pedestrians. Our driver doesn't stop for them but to be able to talk to his friend, the other driver. The two pedestrians now have to walk around our bus for our driver is totally oblivious to these two vulnerable citizens.
There is a disconnect or we see what we see and nothing else.
