Mum with pram called 'selfish' and screamed at for jumping bus queue

Most people are often very accommodating towards mothers with children in prams using public transport as it can be a challenging task, especially if it is busy. However, there is no guarantee that there will be room for you and the whole experience can end up being rather stressful, the Mirror reports.

One mother has claimed she was 'screamed' and sworn at after she decided to take it upon herself to walk to another bus stop to ensure she would be let onto the bus with her child's buggy - but she doesn't believe she has done anything wrong. The mum, who was branded 'sneaky', arrived at the bus stop and saw that another two women were already with prams so she decided to walk to the previous stop to make sure she would get on.

The woman who took to Mumsnet's Am I Being Unreasonable? forum and has sparked some controversy amongst users as some have branded her 'really selfish'. The anonymous poster explained: "Knowing that the driver wouldn’t let three of us on, I walked round the corner to the previous stop and got on there."
