We’ll take your money, BUT there are rules. You can’t talk on the bus in a loud fashion as to show everyone that you are there, and you want to be recognized. You can’t talk on the phone as if no one is around you and can hear you. You can’t text while walking, as to not run into cars, you can’t walk 3 aside on the side walk, so no one can pass going the oppositie direction, you have to have bus passes, so you don’t come on to the bus searching for change, when you knew for the last 20 minutes that you were taking a bus, and suddenly you don’t have enough money, or your transfer has run old. But yea..we’ll take your parents money. Its good for the economy. —Mike

*sigh*
If this isn’t a troll: please take your money and go home.
Note: Throwing down a bunch of cash doesn’t give ANYONE the right to be constantly inconsiderate and oblivious to those people around them
I’m just trying to stay positive. I just want everyone to get along…more importantly, i want the student population to let go of their self-serving self-centered self-righteous personify…
Now, is that too much to ask for?
isn’t that behaviour just same-old, same-old for each generation? I think I was pretty wrapped up in myself when I was that age.
and you can’t kill them, we need bed pan carriers in our dotage.
Please keep the Uggs and Sweats away until at least after Halloween. Remembrance Day, preferably.
when we moved here, i was surprised at the number of universities
*Should not or may not. If the dreadful students are in fact doing these things, “can’t” does not apply.
OP is king of the sidewalk! He’s not just a bus driver, he’s a big fucking deal!
Do you old people really think the students give a rats ass what you think the rules are? Why do you let such petty bullshit ruin your day? What a tool you are, OB!!!!
Agreed with SHITTY. Do you even realize, ob, how much students pump into our economy?
Idiot.
You’re just jealous because they have a future and you don’t.
Yeah! They totally have a future! Somebody needs to make the coffee that I’m not drinking.
So if someone’s a local, they can do all these things and that’s alright with you? You could always, you know, go live under a rock somewhere.
Very funny OP. I don’t believe students are the only ones that do those things but still bit of a chuckle.
Students are what is least wrong with this city…
even as ignorant and annoying as they may be.
ANYONE pulling this shit should just do us all a favor and sleep on the median.
op 90% of the loud, obnoxious people on the bus are loud, obnoxious locals.
Also it’s THE BUS. Not your own private unicorn-pulled limousine where you get to make all the rules about everything.
^^ with sparkles
metro transit makes the rules… and ‘etiquette’ provisions.

Share the Ride, Not your Conversation
Passengers that need to use cell phone or other mobile devices while on board are asked to keep the conversation to a minimum and at a low volume out of respect for other passengers.
Basically… shut the fuck up.
Yes but in order to keep everybody happy, everyone would have to be silent. What about two old friends who run into each other on the bus? What about people who just want to have conversations? If they’re just conversations, there is going to be a moderate din at all times. I get not allowing for screaming or cussing profusely. But come on.. People talk. It’s what human beings do.
