You pulled up to the bus stop on Spring Garden. I couldn’t get across because of the traffic light.

I waved to you.

You saw me.

I saw you see me.

But you didn’t wait. Instead you pulled out then the light changed.

So now you are at the light, which allowed me to cross and made you stay. I went to the door but you shook your head and wouldn’t let me on.

Save me that “we’re not supposed to..” because I’ve seen other drivers use their own discretion and allow people on or off at non-designated stops. You chose to use your own discretion to be a prick. I will remember that next time you fuckers go on strike and look for public support.

  1. Sorry barring loosing my licence or some other disaster, Ill never step another foot on the Metro Transit, dam the environment.

  2. HAHAHAHAHA

    Ok, OB, let me get this straight:

    YOU weren’t at the stop on time, so YOU expect the bus to not only wait for you to get across the street to the stop, but WAIT FOR THE LIGHT TO CHANGE? And THEN you have the nerve to expect the driver to let you on at a light? And when they don’t pander to your sense of entitlement, you get all mad and basically say the driver was a dick?

    Who the fuck do you think you are? It’s not your personal chauffeur: it’s mass transit. You’re not at the stop? Well some might wait and some might let you on at a traffic light, but if they don’t, you have no right to get pissed off at anyone but yourself for not being at the stop on time.

    The same thing has happened to me. Did I expect the driver to wait until the light changed? NO!

    This sounds like a YOU problem, not a case of a MT driver being a prick.

    Stop being such an asshole, OB.

  3. Soooooo – the driver’s a dick for following the regs? Sure, OP, I know some will bend them to be nice, and others will sit there laughing at you. But the fail is on your ass for betting on long odds. Own it.

  4. True dat, Tim – but for those of us who don’t, depending on the kindness of strangers is a one-way ticket to BlancheDuboisville.

  5. OB, so using their discretion makes them a nice guy, and following the rules makes them a prick? Your logic is flawed. Drivers are supposed to follow the rules most of the time, so most of the time you can not expect special treatment.

    Adjust your self entitled attitude, and get over it.

  6. Gee whiz sparky! Are you serious? Was this the only bus on Spring Garden Road going your way? I think you grasp some elements of how a transit system works. You acknowledge this thing called a bus stop…so what is the substance of this Bitch? They are called Bus Stops because that is where buses stop to pick up…riders! I agree with everyone else here…F#$K OFF! This might come as a shock but, you wait for the bus, not the other way around. If you can’t get your sorry ass there, get the next one. Now you’ve made go get a Tylenol…arse wipe!
