Last week a bus driver took note of a woman crossing the street while we waited at a red light. He made a comment about her character and then told us to watch as he startled her by taking his foot off the break. That is called violence towards women and it is not appropriate. I’m sure her life is hard enough as it is so try putting yourself in her shoes some time before you take your foot off the break. P.S. Your passengers did not find it funny.

Try being on a bus with Jeff Campbell and his girlfriend Crystal going at it She can travel all day on the bus with him and never pays.
It would have been ok if it was a guy?? “Violence toward women” gives the shock value of implying that the driver did it because he has it out for women. It IS possible that gender was irrelevant.I’d call what the driver did being an asshole, Its a pretty universal ranking regardless of sex, color or religion and I’d also be calling metro transit.
Welcome to the wonderful world of Metro Transit, where we don’t care because we don’t have to. But we’re all proud to be union men!
disgusting, I wish the OP would have reported it. probably nothing would have come of it though.i wonder what the comment about her “character” was and if the same situation would have happened if it was a man. probably not, we live in a wonderful world where women are not disproportionately affected by violence, and rainbows and lollipops squirt from our assholes.
I agree with Marie, Jeff Campbell is a mouth piece. Some people never get enough of listing to their own voice, jesus he just drones on and on and on. Shut up already.
Thethey do more I complain about Jeff Campbell the less Metro Transit does. Once Crystal got up and started kissing his neck and he jumped a lane into on coming traffic and then started swearing at the driver who tooted the horn at him. If you are ever on his bus again Crystal is up front sprawled in the seat sometimes with her shirt wide open with no bra on and has a large brown mole in between both breasts. She also has blonde hair and sometimes wears glasses. She stays on all day and never pays, a supervisor should drag her off but they are too busy at Mcdonalds.
What? Serious? Which route?
Marie, you sound more like a jilted lover every day.Can you describe “Crystal” a little more slowly, maybe with more detail?
I am married not a jilted lover and I have descibed Crystal perfectly and if you want to see Jeff Campbell check out facebook. It is unprofessional to bring your spouse to work with you and it also shows lack of respect you have for the public. No where in their contract does it say to bring your spouse along for the ride. I am in a unionized job which I take very seriously.
Marie you ignorant miserable hag… Where the fuck do you get off naming a metro transit employee (or any private individual for that matter) on this forum… You should be ashamed of yourself. I’ll bet your husband fucks around on you quite a bit, because coming home to the likes of you every day must be a very unrewarding experience… Get a life you pig..
Hey floyd, don’t hold back. Tell us what you really think!Hey Marie, you sound like a weird stalker.
s’truth, Floyd. Not cool to post someone’s real name on a bitchboard. Not cool at all. Next thing you know, The Coast will have to start moderating comments because of shit like this. And that will be the end of the fun.Hi Qwerty!
True dat. It’ll be like the dark ages again, aka The Time of the Salt the Driveway thread, when the nazi went all… well, nazi-like on us…Hi Miranda!
Naming names definitely isn’t cool.Hi, there, Qwerty, have you been away? I haven’t seen your moniker in a while.
I’ve been spending my work days… working. Boooo. This recession can’t get here soon enough. But hey, it’s Halloween, so I’m taking a slacker day.
Why doesn’t someone actually make a complaint about these sorts of things! If a bus driver tries to frighten a woman or if people are being uber unprofessional on the bus( wtf is that about anyway?) it won’t do you any good to bitch here and not follow it up. Don’t be so apathetic. Call, complain, at least try. Don’t let people abuse other people, if you don’t do anything you are just letting it happen. What are you afraid of?!
