Is it ok for bus drivers to make personal calls on their mobiles whilst on duty?

On my bus journey to work yesterday, the driver repeatedly pulled over (whether it be at a bus stop or not regardless of whether any travellers were getting on or off) to answer his phone?!?!?! Now I know that commonly bus drivers have to wait at bus stops as they are ahead of schedule but surely taking personal calls should not be allowed??? I made the presumption that it must be a male thing and may possibly have been communicating with HQ…

However … even on the bus journey home, the driver used her phone. This time it was a female polish driver. This is how I knew they were personal calls as all her conversations were in her home language. The more concerning issue was that she continued to converse whilst she was driving - putting herself and passengers in danger!

I’d love to hear if similar has happened to you and what you think about it
