pleasantly surprised to received an email via CanberraConnect following some feedback I had lodged at the end of March about an ACTION bus driver...regardless if it's a form letter or not at least they responded...

Good Morning...

Thank you for contacting ACTION on 26/03/2013 09.09 AM about the driving conduct of an ACTION bus driver.

Based on the information you provided, ACTION has identified the driver and conducted an investigation in line with ACTION’s internal disciplinary procedures and a record of this incident has been retained for future reference.

The driver has been reminded of his obligations to the safety of other road users, particularly cyclists, and the need to adopt a more cautious style of driving as well as the critical importance of observing the road rules at all times.

All ACTION drivers are required to complete a module on safe driving practices as part of their driver training course. These commitments are reinforced through Safety Alert reminders to raise drivers’ awareness of cyclists on the road and instruct drivers to maintain a safe clearance distance when overtaking and passing cyclists. This information is provided through driver notices, newsletters and the information screens located in the depots. ACTION drivers are also regularly reminded to be mindful of other road uses when changing lanes and to only change lanes when it is safe to do so.

Thank you for providing us with an opportunity to investigate this matter further. Please accept my apologies on behalf of ACTION for any inconvenience or feelings of distress you have endured as a result of this incident.

Kind regards....
