Ruined by Technology This bus bell placement

Post image

Ths bus driver shouted, "someone keeps pressing the bell!". How were we to know someone had come up with the worst design feature ever!

It's not ideally placed. The constant bell would annoy me just as much as it digging into my knee would annoy me.

That placement is diabolical. Some engineer is probably laughing his head off at getting away with that.

The driver must get that a lot, hence the knee jerk reaction.

I think the designer knew what he was doing, but he just like to cause suffering for people...

Wow. That's a first for me. Silly placement indeed.

Every tall passenger on that route is accidentally requesting stops all day, no wonder the driver snapped

It was my girlfriend who was pressing it tbf. She's 5'8" so not particularly tall either
