YOUR report about the bus crash on Hull Road (November 1) said passengers should stay seated until the bus stops.

But there have been times when I've been on the bus, rang the bell for it to stop and stayed seated, and the bus just drove past my stop.

Drivers must think people are messing about unless they see you stand up ready to get off. Maybe they should take this into account.
