After the cricket finished at 2200 on Saturday 2nd December at Adelaide oval I walked to Bus Stop 1 on Sir Edwin Smith Drive north side to catch either the 203 or 208 bus. About 20 people were also waiting at the bus stop. A 203 bus came past and several people hailed the bus. The bus driver ( the bus was not full) did not stop and went on. 15 minutes later a X029 ( I think) bus which is supposed to be a special bus for large events did the same. One woman stood in front of the second bus and forced it to stop. The bus was not full and the driver did not speak to us to explain why he would not stop. A police officer forced the wonan off the road and did not try to trouble shoot and ask the driver (who may have been frightened by two fat middle aged ladies )why this stop was being ignored. The police officer said I should phone your company but I did not have your number. I walked to bus stop 2 and 15 minutes later a 208 bus stopped when hailed. He said that bus stop 1 is a valid stop and he had stopped there himself. When I asked him he did not know why the other buses had not stopped. Why did two half empty buses not stop for legitimate customers? The woman who stood in front of the bus was a worker from the grounds and looked exhausted. No one at the stop was drunk or disorderly. Why is it OK to leave women standing in the dark for 1 hour to wait for a bus driver to finally do their duty? It is not safe or appropriate for single women to be forced to walk in the dark and be frightened by the possibility of an attack on them after 2200. I live near stop 16 and I was not home until 2320, when should have been a 30 min commute. Public transport is what we are encouraged to use for these events and yet this situation is a disappointment that put us at risk. I expect a reply promptly from you and an explanation of why this happened. I also expect a correction for future events at Adelaide oval.
