SIR - Do bus drivers carry first-aid kits on board?

I ask because on Saturday an elderly gentleman fell in front of the 615 bus I was travelling on.

Luckily the bus stopped and didn't hit him. I got off to help the gentleman and found he had cut his hand quite badly and there was a lot of blood.

I asked the bus driver if he had a first aid kit on board but he just said to call an ambulance'. His attitude stank.

While I was busy asking him, the elderly gentleman went to get his next bus, with blood pouring out of his hand.

I ran over to him and asked if I could help him, but he was very adamant he didn't need any help whatsoever.

I did try to help him, which is more than can be said for the bus driver. He was arrogant and rude and just thought the situation was funny.

I wonder if bus drivers have any first aid training and what the protocol is for this situation. Eventually the driver did get off but that was only because I told him how rude and uncaring he was being.
