It's Quicker by Bus


Tongue-in-cheek humour in this unofficial film made by Ipswich Eastern Counties busmen on 8mm. At speed they let off steam about the everyday pressures of their job - keeping to the timetable on roads congested with other vehicles and pedestrians, and those pesky passengers who don't have the right change. Along the way we get the driver's eye view and glimpses of Ipswich street life. One driver makes a detour round a roundabout for the sheer fun of being filmed.
