Outrage as woman is filmed urinating on Golden Arrow bus, commuters speak out

A shocking video has surfaced on social media of a woman squatting down and urinating in a Golden Arrow bus while other commuters are watching. 

The man who recorded the video, Stanton Bill, was disturbed by the incident as he explained that there were women on the bus who were apparently drunk while showcasing their private parts to other passengers and then urinated in the bus.

Bill took to his social media and explained: “I was disrespected in that bus as a man and I believe any other man would have felt the same way because clearly my presence meant nothing to the women who were in that bus and all the other people also.

“They suiped (drank) in the bus which is public transport, they [exposed] themselves in front of me. They literally turned their bodies to me standing on the seats and showed their private parts. 

“They were swearing, making a noise and dancing. The bus is not just for me, there were two older women next to me and no respect was shown to them. I don’t expect things to go my way but it is public transport and clearly the words public and transport meant f***l.”

Bill shared a video of a woman kneeling down between two seats and urinating while inside the bus.

Golden Arrow Bus Services spokesperson Bronwen Dyke-Beyer said they are aware of the video and that the behaviour displayed is unacceptable.

Dyke-Beyer explained: “Golden Arrow Bus Services is aware of the video circulating on social media. We can confirm that the behaviour described is completely unacceptable and is in no way representative of the expectations we have of our passengers.

“Golden Arrow’s Conditions of Carriage prohibit any behaviour that may compromise the safety or comfort of passengers, including consuming alcohol on board, travelling while excessively intoxicated, or behaving in a disruptive manner.

“It is essential that our drivers’ primary focus remains on safe driving and as such, drivers are not always aware of incidents taking place behind them. In this particular case the driver was not aware of what was taking place. 

“Passengers who witness behaviour that violates Golden Arrow’s rules or compromises safety are encouraged to inform the driver at the earliest safe opportunity. The driver can then contact our control room for guidance or request intervention as appropriate.

“Our drivers are trained to enforce these rules within reasonable operational limits and are supported by our control room and operational management teams. When a passenger’s behaviour violates these rules, the driver may request assistance, ask the individual to disembark at a safe location, or escalate the matter to law enforcement if necessary.”
