AFTER yet another incident in Chapelfields ('Knife threat to York bus driver,' January 15) I fail to understand why bus drivers frequently use this area to "kill time" - especially during the evenings.
Last Friday I was a passenger on the Number 1 bus - the driver waited at the stop for approximately ten minutes.
Later I learned that a couple of hours earlier a driver had been threatened with a knife.
Having buses standing for long periods of time will only exacerbate an already fraught situation and put drivers and passengers at risk.
There must be a more suitable place for buses to wait on route.
