A woman has thanked bus passengers for rushing to her aid after a driver refused a child entry on the bus with a bike.
Joanne Thompson said she was due to get the 82 bus from Western Avenue in Speke on Sunday to attend a bike event in Lark Lane where she would meet with her husband and other children. However, her son was unable to get on the bus with the bike, something she was "unaware of".
She told the ECHO that she asked the bus driver to pass on her feedback to his manager but he became "rude and had an attitude". She said: "I took my son with his bike because we couldn't fit in the car together. Years ago you could take a bike on a bus but I wasn't aware it had changed. I panicked because I wasn't sure how we could get to Aigburth and we had no house keys but the bus driver kept saying we couldn't get on.
