Whilst trying to board LT263 on the 15 yesterday the driver opened the doors but before it fully opened he shut the door on me trapping my arm. I shouted at him that he should look at his mirrors in future. Anyone else had this?

There is such a delay on the opening of the rear doors compared to the other two doors I wouldn't be surprised if the driver just shuts them in hope to save some time. |

Not me but many reports on social media about people having problems with the rear door's operation - usually the inward swinging version. |

I was on a LT on the 148. The door opened halfway so I instinctively moved forward to get off. It got stuck for about half a second then slammed open with such force that it was shaking. Fortunately I stepped back in time to avoid being hit.
The other problem is drivers being too keen to get the middle and rear doors shut, causing waiting passengers to panic and run to the front of the bus - or miss if if they don't move quickly enough. For that reason I tend to board through the front doors.

Makes me wonder why there is quite such a rush given the result as you say - people either miss the bus or made a mad dash to the front. |
