If you’re coming to London and happen to be a tall, beautiful woman be carfeful about trying to catch the No 9 bus along Kensington High Street, because there’s a driver on that route that doesn’t want your type on his bus.
The girl on the left is Josephine Kime, who was on her way home when she was kicked off the No 9 because the driver said she was too tall, she’s 5′11″. After she scanned her Oyster card he refused to move the bus until she got off claiming she would be blocking his view. What a muppet, you would think he’d like that pretty face in his mirror for the whole of his shift and besides how many men getting on his bus are going to be 5′11″ or more, probably the majority.
Transport for London say they don’t have any height restrictions for passengers but that it will be too hard to track down the driver in question to reprimand him. That seems hard to believe when you have the time, date and bus number but there you go.
If you’re of a certain height and get any grief from the drivers of London buses, tell them you know your rights and being tall is not a reason to disqualify you from travelling on them.
