PUTCO-ALMOST DRIVE OVER

I would like to bring your attention to Bus #6101c PUTCO bus. At around
07:10am this morning, on Grayston Drive cnr West in Sandton. I was almost run
over by a PUTCO bus. The Driver had double parked outside 75 Grayston Drive,
business address, not a designated bus stop. When I was turning into 75
Grayston Drive on my motorcycle, when the driver of the bus started driving
off, if i had not hooted frantically i would have been under the bus. What is
ironic is that there is a allocated bus stop just ten meters away, it seems
like these drivers are x-taxi drivers.
When i got off my motor cycle to talk to the driver, he ignored my notion for
him to open the door and started to drive off, at that point he almost drove
over me again, if i had not moved out of the way i would have been trampled. I
have tried to write to PUCTO on line but their web site comes up with internal
error.
This is not the first time that i have noticed that buses stop at this point
for their passengers to disembark, something needs to done and these drivers
need to be brought to book.
These bus drivers and taxi drivers are getting away with reckless driving and
putting other road users at risk.
