Young woman feared she would be attacked after Stagecoach bus driver 'left her stranded'

A young woman feared she would be attacked after a bus driver refused to let her travel when her card declined - despite her proving she had money in her account. Danielle Allen was left alone in the dark when a Stagecoach driver would not let her on the bus.

The 19-year-old had tried to buy a ticket on a service from Canterbury to Margate but the transaction didn't go through. She begged the driver to let her on the bus after proving she had money in her account by showing him her online banking.

But she was left in the dark near Sturry Road post office as the driver told her she could not board the service after her contactless card and phone both declined. Terrified Danielle broke down in tears and feared someone could "attack or kidnap" her as she was alone on the dark street.
