The passenger he yelled at was and African American male. Even though he was a grown man, the driver spoke to him like an adult trying to intimidate a child. This writer couldn't help but notice the driver didn't have nearly the same vitriol for the person that let him on the bus(Who wasn't African American). This writer doesn't want to use the R-word or the B-word, but it it seemed strange that he used a different tone with the person that got on the bus than the person that let him on. Just saying. The driver did apologize later during the ride, but the difference in tone from one rider to the other was disturbing.
This driver proceeded to driver like a maniac all the way to the end of the route (or thew beginning as the transit center was the destination). This writer thought we might tip over a few times. Why was he driving so fast? For a minute, this writer thought Keanu Reeves was going to jump on the bus from a moving vehicle. Fortunately, we made it safely to the transit center.
One day, another driver just passed up three stops after she was signaled to stop. She just didn't stop for whatever reason. When she did stop, we were at the end of the line. Those poor people who wanted the earlier stop had to walk half a mile back to get home. Naturally, the driver didn't apologize for the inconvenience. Who is hiring and paying these people?
Finally, what bus post is complete without disgusting pictures?
You can't sit on just one!
Not sure what that is or used to be.
Hopefully, this writer won't have anymore horrifying bus stories. Meh, who is this writer kidding? It's the bus. Of course there will be more.
Until next time...
