Well, I am neither but if i had to chose it would be taxi driver.

More earning potential, no school kids to deal with, vehicle nicer to drive (anything must be nicer than a bus.....)

No tacho on a taxi either so free to work as you want to......

Afraid I don't think I could do either job...... I hate rude/ignorant people plus I don't like sitting in traffic jams >:(

No tacho on a bus either as they are subject to UK tacho regs and are worked out via the shift patterns. Which is different to coach/truck drivers who are on EU regs :y

Wait a week and try for the bus....you know it makes financial sense  ;)

If that doesn't work out, there'll be another one along shortly. :y
