transit signs, signs everywhere a sign - yet so few seem to comprehend

Posted on Tue, Sep 23, 2014 at 4:00 AM

I have some mobility issues and this is the reason for my bitch I don't give a rats ass if you don't agree with me - I just need to get this off my chest. - signs that say "Please move to the rear - Exit by rear door" yet majority of people push through throngs of incoming - many who have walked from the back of the bus and passed one if not 2 open exit doors. And crowding at the front of the bus when there is plenty of standing room at the back...and the low floor buses that have the higher rear seating - you can stand up there as well - you really won't bump your head !!! - signs that say "Space must be vacated for elderly and handicapped" - I'm thinking maybe these signs should be changed to "Space must be vacated for baby carriages loaded with kids and purchases" - If you were to check the Rider User Guide you would clearly see collapsible strollers are allowed on the buses as well as the maximum size of said stroller. No Double wides please. - For those that do use the rear access doors, please don't yell at the bus driver to open the back door - until you have read the instructions in front of you posted on every exit door as to how to open the door. Wait for Green Light to appear... Wave hand here...Touch yellow strip...touch the Push Bar....Step Down etc... -Finally a little common sense and courtesy can go a very long ways - please remove your back pack to avoid hitting someone that is seated upside the head - not to mention if the bus is crowded some of those backpacks take up the space of a second person - maybe you should be charged double fare! -If you have a lot of parcels, groceries etc - the seat beside you is not alloted just for your excess baggage and don't get right pissy with me if I ask to sit where your parcels are piled. There is space on the floor at your feet and under the seat - or taking a taxi would be another option. -I really think that the bus drivers should all follow the same rules and safety regulations. If you tell one person that they cannot get on the bus with a take out cup coffee or other beverage then you should do the same for all - whether you know them - are long time friends or....If the rule is not to pick up a passenger after the wheels have left the curb of the bus stop then No one should be doing this - ever - it is a safety issue. -Oh and last but not least....Bus drivers that are unfriendly, gruff or just absolutely ignore any form of nicety - fuck you. You are working with the public and understandably there are going to be days that you want to punch someone in the throat - but if you are finding it more and more difficult to deal with the public - Quit and find something you do like outside of the public eye. —just sayin'
