I've explained to myself repeatedly that the bus is not unsafe. Even when it takes a diversion without warning, even if one blew over (Five hurt after Storm Doris blows over a bus in Walton Highway near Wisbech - bus also thought to have hit lamp post). I have to get on the bus, so it is safe. I can sit downstairs near the driver, so it isn't unsafe.
But today on the way to therapy, a man fell out of his seat onto a woman across the aisle, then slipped to the floor and stayed there. Then, coming back a woman was shouting all over the bus about how she had smashed a windscreen on one bus to get back at her ex, who was a bus driver, and could do it again. She told anyone who verged on eye contact about hitting her social worker because said ex didn't turn up to a custody hearing. Lots more, for 90 minutes.
I know it is just cowardice, but how do you overcome fear when your formerly irrational fears are confirmed?
