To the driver of the #1 bus on Saturday afternoon, May 19, going outbound on Barrington… Are you fucking kidding me? Where did you get your licence? Does a blind spot mean anything to you? Or even a flasher?
So there I was, following a pickup truck. We stop at the crosswalk to let pedestrians cross. As we are leaving and picking up speed, the bus, with no flasher, cuts the pickup truck off and crosses not one but two lanes. The truck had to swerve away, putting him in the incoming traffic lane. He’s lucky there wasn’t any incoming vehicles. It’s not like the truck was hard to see, it was huge and in broad daylight. I could not believe my eyes. Retire before you kill someone! —Guy in the Beige Volvo

didn’t you know o.p., that metro transhit has it’s own rules of driving?

Step 1 Call to complain
Step 2 Be Ignored
Step 3 Repeat 1 and 2.
If your around a bus beware it will do what it wants when it wants to, give it a wide birth. I travel them all week, some drivers let people pass other just go and wait for the carnage.
It’s only a matter of time before we read about a driver being on the wrong end of a road rage incident.
and the wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round – we be above de law we is grade 9 edjumacated busssss drivers, de law not apply – we has big union man to protect we.
