Transport for London has launched an investigation after a woman claimed she was sexually harassed by a bus driver while he was at the wheel.
Victoria, 28, from Clapham, who wishes to be known only by her first name, was travelling in the passenger seat of a car when the bus pulled up alongside her in traffic.
She claims that after the driver noticed her, he started winking, blowing kisses, and sticking his tongue out in an apparent attempt to suggest oral sex.
Victoria said she shook her head at him in disgust, but he continued with the vulgar display.
She told the Standard: "I was really shocked, it was horrible.
"I'd hate to think of him doing it to someone less robust [than me].
"You don't expect that from someone in a position of trust. It just made my skin crawl, it was horrible.
"It made me feel really flustered, angry, embarrassed for me and for him.
"I think it's really sad that women can't go about their lives these days without having some sexual harassment from men.
"It's really sad that men think they are able to do that and it's not an issue - it's disgusting."
Victoria said that other people in the queue of traffic will also have been able to clearly see the faces the driver was pulling.
She said: "Other people certainly would have been able to see - and he was carrying a bus full of 70 people.
"If I'd had kids in the car it would have been horrific."
Victoria took a picture of the bus the man was driving, and contacted TfL to complain about the incident, which happened on Edge Hill in Wandsworth at about 3.30pm yesterday.
She told the Standard: "I'd like them to know about it, I don't think it's appropriate behaviour from one of their employees - a public servant.
"Somebody with that level of responsibility behaving like that, I don't think it's right at all."
A spokesman for TfL said: "We're sorry to hear of this incident and we take reports of this nature seriously. We will investigate this with the bus operator who runs that route."
