Report
From previous reviews it would appear their driver hiring policy continues. I was almost knocked off my bike while one of their vans came rapidly hurtling past me, coming within centimetres of hitting me. I'm sure the 5 seconds saved in reaching the red lights ahead of us were worth potentially crushing someone against a parked car.
