Too all Metro Transit drivers with lead feet; Please remember that a passanger needs to get past the yellow line, before you hit the gas to venture to your next stop. Otherwise they are unable to hold onto anything, or sit down and consiquently thrown into seats/people/the floor and are left with bruises and a personal vendetta.

man, i got a wikked bruise on my ass one day, bus driver stepped on the gas just as i was sitting down, and my ass slapped into one of those seats that jut out by the back door. i had the blackest, nastiest bruise for almost 3 weeks.
Ah, but a transit driver’s work day is so dull otherwise… nothing to brighten up a shift like a good score in standee bowling. Besides, what are all the hard-working drivers going to talk about around the union hall, other than how else they can make Transit run even more poorly thanks to their demands?
