Journey to hell

Can anyone tell me why the No 7 Stagecoach bus will break every driving rule in the book, including speeding, to keep in front of the No 2 run by Oxford Bus Company?

I was a passenger on the No 7 from Oxford to Kidlington and the driving standards were nil.

The driver jumped amber and red lights, jumped on the brakes, was talking to one of his friends and drove too fast - he was driving like that to keep in front of the competition.

I know that the Stagecoach slogan is 'taking you places', but the company won't be taking me anywhere when its employees drive like that.

I have been very surprised at which the speed the 7B reaches town from Kidlington.

The drivers on route 7 are very badly behaved. That driver there broke every rule in the book to keep ahead of the 2.
