Bus # 66 or 68
You were merging into my lane near the magazine.
Most people would drive until the reach the dotted white line then merge peacefully based on who got there first.
But not you!
You crossed two solid lines, and two lanes, in order to get into the far left lane.
I understand that you are supposed to have right o way, but your merge makes no sense. You had several kms to get into the left lane.
If you are unable to make it to the far left lane in several km of road, I suggest that you quit your job, throw away your keys, and start taking the bus —disgusted

So, the driver did nothing wrong but we hate him/her anyway… right?!
Buses don’t have a universal right of way, you should have stood your ground and let him hit you.
“The driver of a vehicle on a highway with a speed limit of 60 kilometres per hour or less shall yield the right of way to allow a transit bus that is stopped, standing or parked at or immediately adjacent to the edge of the roadway to enter the closest lane of traffic flow adjacent to the right-hand edge of the roadway if: (a) the driver of the transit bus has signalled an intention to enter the lane of traffic; (b) the transit bus is displaying the signage prescribed by the regulations; and (c) yielding to the transit bus does not constitute an immediate hazard.”
I’m gonna side with the bus driver on this one. When I go up the magazine hill, I stay in the left lane no matter how slow I am going because none you you useless dicks will let me over when I get to the top of the hill. There is no sign that states “keep right except to pass” so its just a regular lane, not a passing lane. I start at the bottom at 100km and by the time I get to the top I have my 4 way flashers on doing 50km. And going down the magazine into Burnside, i move right from the on-ramp to the left lane as quickly as possible because if you wait until the traffic speeds up after the merge zone, where everything comes to a standstill, then you wont get someone to let you in. If ya don’t like it you can eat a bag of dicks.
Where does one get these bag of dicks?
Walmart, but watch out for the little dicks from China. Even though there are more per bag, they’re no substitute for a nice big, juicy, Canadian dick.
Dick..must be new Lays flavour.
I have to agree with the bus driver. Zipper merging is for wimps.

Why, over the Interweb of course:
