Hey bus driver, do you have to stomp on that gas pedal like you are a 30 something mother in an SUV? What the fuck is wrong with your brakes? You seem to hit them as hard as you can, just to make it difficult for your passengers.
And, another thing, slow down on the off ramps! Yesterday, I saw 3 old ladies slide off their seats while you were taking the offramp near the McKay bridge. —Not There for a Joy Ride

Jeez I wish I were on that bus the one I had this morning was soooooo slow, new drivers or something it was fucking painful.
I don’t mind one or the other… just be consistent.
and that does NOT mean pumping the break for 65 feet as traffic inches along approaching a 4 way stop.
Fucking stop-go-stop-go-stop-go… depending on the morning, I could just as easily Yak all over your floor dude.
You may have an ‘air-chair’ but the rest of us feel every jerk on those hard, plastic seats.
The metrolink is the worst. Sure, they are padded, but they don’t hold you as well as the plastic seats, and the upholstery is slippery. Don’t even think of taking a seat that faces the aisle unless you get one where you have a bar to hang on to.
OB, ever see them run red lights and cut off traffic that had the legal right away. Sure. Although Metro Transit will deny it. You have to get those complaints on video, otherwise Metro Transit turns a deaf ear.
and did you bother calling it in? if not, then how would anyone know, except us.
Get in, sit down, shut up and hold ON!
One would think that when passengers are falling into each other and brief cases are sliding to the front of the bus, the driver would think, “hey, panic stops may not be required here”….and yet it is so common.
