The items left behind by passengers are revealed, as two £60,000 bus washing machines are unveiled.
The wide range of items left behind by passengers on buses have been revealed, as two new £60,000 bus washing machines are unveiled at Stagecoach East's depots.
The new machines in Cambridge and Peterborough are capable of washing more than 100 buses an hour and are more economical, faster and quieter than the ones they replaced.On a visit to Cambridge, drivers and cleaners told the BBC they discovered items on their shifts including many mobile phones and even prosthetic limbs.Ms Bajon, 41, who is in charge of keeping the buses clean, said: "We have invested over £120,000 on two new washers.
Stagecoach said an experienced cleaner could sweep an entire bus in under a minute. However, a deep clean would take one person at least four hours. Luis Santos, 65, joined Stagecoach 13 years ago. He cleans buses when they arrive back at the depot in the evening."What's the strangest thing I have found left behind? Well, one passenger... he was sleeping under a seat. Completely asleep," he said.
"I didn't know whether he was even alive or not. So I gave him a touch. A little touch with the sweep. He was alive.Driver Ahmed Adu, 42, joined Stagecoach two years ago.When pressed for details, he said: "Sometimes we find... how you call it? Ladies' things. Purses. Money, mobile phones. Lots of phones.Asked if he found littering passengers frustrating, he said: "No. We want our customers to feel free. It's not their intention to do that.
