- In this video we will take a look at a situation that occurred on a TTC transit bus where the person who recorded the incident has proclaimed that the bus driver is insane. Let's take a look and i'll let you know if this particular driver is displaying traits of insanity or not. A few people on the bus did verbally gang up on the driver. What would i have done in this situation?? Watch to find out!

VIEWS AND OPINIONS EXPRESSED IN MY VIDEOS ARE MY OWN AND DO NOT REFLECT MY EMPLOYER.
Yes, because yelling at the person in charge of getting you to your destination with safety in mind is always the smart move lol
I've only had to do it once, but a rider like that does not ride my bus.
This is why I don't speak to them i just drive they get so mad when I ignore them
This is how they speak to us in Toronto all the time. They don’t care. They treat us like shit and probably wouldn’t last a day in our seat. So happy to have found this channel tho. I have said for years that I wish someone would tape what it’s like to work for TTC. Guess it doesn’t matter what transit system you work for it’s the same right across the board.
Hey thanks for watching and yes passengers can be nasty everywhere. Stay safe out there in Toronto!!
I think the are hating on you because you are fine, I'm just saying 😉
Awww thank you. Making me blush and stuff
@@eyezbrigh now you really git me wanting to go to Canada, I better stop. I worked for NYCTRANSIT, drove the bus for 30 years, very good job, I'm sure y TTC is taking care of you, other words hell with the people they are animals, just make that money, stay gorgeous
You ain’t lyin’! Toronto passengers are generally great, but it can be “challenging” at times.
I think there should be ice cold buckets of water above each seat which are numbered ! You know the rest....😏
🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣👍🏿
Ha,ha, true .
That would be funny but a pain for the driver to clean up the water . It was also be dangerous because someone could slip.
Too bad Canadians are used to the cold.
Bro, I'm an operator in Vancouver for 5 years. I can remember the first day of training what they told us; "We didn't hire you to drive a bus. We can teach anyone to drive a bus. You were hired you because we want people who can make quick decisions on their own in a stressful environment and be able to deescalate problems and handle problem passengers."
I've been an operator in Hamilton for 14 months. "Off the bus" is my response.
I've only had to eject 3 riders so far, I will not tolerate a rider like that.
The overwhelming majority of my riders are polite (or ignore me). 70+% of my riders say "thank you "when alighting.
@@DAndyLord sounds like something a BTC op would do. maybe consider transfering lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@VelocityXi What agency is BTC? I like mine.
@@DAndyLord BTC is CMBC's Burnaby Transit Center
Driver was baited into argument and fell for it. Best not to engage in such banter, better to quietly, respectfully, prepare to drive and not waste time.
Dont forget to walk around the outside of the bus to check for damage
That's true but I do that at the end of the line when I'm doing a relief I'm trying not to hold these people up so I just do all that when I get to the end of the line 🙏🏿
@@crystalfields3054 yea I hear you where I work you jump in the bus and go if there is damage then it's on you some drivers won't tell you if they hit something
We’re supposed to do a pre-trip once we reach the end of line. If the previous driver hit anything, it’ll be on camera.
The expression "don't argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience" rings very true in this situation. Best to ignore them and if they keep up the abuse, get the police involved. Then the passenger has to listen. :)
Great advice!!
Do not engage with angry customers, just stay silent and do what is necessary to safely start the shift. If a yelling match goes back and forth it just escalates.
Some will say your too slow,some will say your too fast,others complain its too hot,for others its too cold,its all in a bus drivers day,so just smile smile and smile:)
I agree with that!
I work for ttc and your video is 1000% accurate! Thanks brother. Enjoy your video.
Thanks!! I’m glad you enjoyed it!!
I am a bus operator up in Canada. When I get yelled at for setting up my bus, when taking over on the road, I tend to slow down the process. I sometimes do an extra circle check of the bus. I do ignore the passengers yelling at me. I don’t feel it is worth getting into an argument with a passenger.
Poor Bus drivers i pray for you all everyday
Thanks so much!
You're welcome
I've driven 24 footers in downtown Chicago for work. Massive massive respect for you. I know how much you go through and how bad traffic is for a large vehicle. Much respect to you sir. Neat series.
As A driver I do my inspection adjust my mirrors ignore any rude passengers then keep it moving not going to missed a potential break by sitting there to prove a point.
I love this video. In this new bid I have, I am pretty much relieving the day Operator. One thing I do is arrive to the relief point to allow time to successfully switch over and set myself up. My passengers are pretty appreciative. But if my passengers are that rude, I'm ignoring them and continue to set myself up properly
A London bus conductor said in a 1992 documentary on a London bus garage, when you're dealing with the public you can never win with the public, never. You can try but you never win.
I drove for 30yrs in nyc, I incounted some good people but the overwhelming majority of people I encountered was garbage
this is how ppl are on the bus I find. if one person causes an issue, the public DOES NOT have your back especially in Ontario. instead everyone dog piles the driver
The TTC is horrid.
I’m a grown male and I keep my head on a swivel if I ever have to take it.
Ive been known to tell passengers u cant disrespect a driver and expect service.
Fantastic advice! Sometimes saying nothing is better.
If a person argues with a fool, onlookers might not be able to tell the difference.
After watching many of your videos, I have determined, especially after watching this one that you would be a fantastic, fair and professional in the field Transit supervisor
I have said in the past.. TTC should put out information like this.. ppl need to be educated..
They don’t understand ..
TTC has always been attacked..
And the worst part is that the frontline workers seem to get verbally abused!!!
I remember this woman I would pick up every night would expect me to be at her NON-TIMEPOINT Bus Stop at exactly a specific time Apple Maps estimated I should be there based off me leaving the ACTUAL-TIMEPOINT 3 stops before her. She would yell at me that I was always late, tell other passengers how rude and disrespectful I am that I don’t care about the schedule, and did customer complaints on the regular about me. What she did not understand is that if she’s at a NON-TIMEPOINT, she must go off the schedule for the Timepoint BEFORE her stop. Those estimates on Google and Apple Maps mean nothing. In fact, I’m not considered late until I start running 5mins behind schedule. In which a lot of time I would be around 2-4mins late to her. What she also didn’t understand is that the schedule takes 2 hours from start to finish, and that she was getting on at more than an hour into my schedule. Soo for a whole hour, anything can happen. Medical Emergency, fight on the bus, someone blocking the isle for no reason, accident, etc. Soo yes, it was a handful of times I would arrive 20-30mins late, but once dispatch tells me to hold at a location.. I can’t do nothing about it. The funny part is that none of the other passengers ever agreed with her and even would support me in trying to explain to her what happened earlier in the schedule and why I was running late. Still she didn’t care. Even my job just told me to write what happened on the complaints but don’t worry about it. I repeatedly told her to get an Uber or Lyft if she can’t be patient. It got to a point where I did a report on her for Harassment, after that Idk if anybody talked to her.. but she show did leave me alone after that.😂
Yes I hate when they think the google or apple estimated times are what we go by. It’s sad that when you try to give an explanation some people just disregard it. That’s so irritating!! It’s nice that other passengers actually stood up for you!
Great video Keywan, its the age old saying for us drivers is damed if you do and damed if you don't!!!! We cant win either way.
So true!
Please keep up with more great clips. I usually avoid change over during shifts. It takes times to set up while the passengers inside. Plus in this pandemic, you needs to wipe down your seating area. Especially, you need do departure checks. The hardest to understand the psychological mind of passengers while bus driver change their shifts.
You make good points about the bus driver in this video...also if she got into a accident the people on the bus would maybe try to get her fired from her job too
You are absolutely right sir. No point in trying to explain yourself because THEY DON'T CARE TO UNDERSTAND. The driver was being professional but was wasting everyone's time, including her own setup time, going back and forth without any foreseeable upside for doing so.
💯💯
That's why I don't like doing relief runs at my job the passengers really don't say nothing out loud to me but I see there faces and you are right my company use clever device GPS I just login in set up the register set the mirrors just to get them to the end of the line and then I do my wipes and everything else but I have my driving gloves on until I can clean the drivers area but that's another video about the driver's area you already know what I'm talkin about friend 😄 enjoying your videos fam stay safe 😷🙏🏿
Been driving for 19 years in kcmo and I promise this makes sense. We are rude if we do or don’t speak. At a point we are just supposed to be robotic information handlers and punching bags for their personal enjoyment. Imagine driving your car in rush hour traffic but with 40 plus feet of vehicle and 30 plus passengers and trying to stay on time, get on and off the highway when cars don’t want to allow you to merge and so on. But yet we are wrong for defending ourselves.
Oh boyyyyy. Rule #1: don’t argue with riders. I always wiped down the drivers area when I drove and I retired a decade ago. Some drivers are pretty sloppy. I used my own cushion or towel on the seat itself. I did road reliefs and whenever it was in the middle of a route I adjusted the seat and DROVE. zero delay. Hahahahaha. Do a video on the upper cut bus driver. The most famous transit driver of all time.
These tips are great! Thanks for sharing 😊
Yes also known as reliving point like MTA NYC Bus M34 M34A SBS(Select Bus Service) I don't know about Eastbound in Midtown but westbound is West 34th Street and 7th Avenue. Across From Penn Station NY
As a passenger, I would definitely and obviously not engage an argument with the bus driver adjusting their equipment. In that case, it doesn't really matter for me how long the delay is and nor I'll get to the specific area/point in time.
However, if I do listen to an argument (in which I rarely encounter with trains and buses), if it gets to the point where I feel uncomfortable and unsafe (especially when wearing earbuds since like I have mild-sensitivity to loud sounds most of the time) I would rather hop off and wait for the other to come by.
If I were a bus driver, I have to keep my sanity on the low level, especially when dealing with Karens and entitled people, or just people having a bad day in general. If they bother me and/or the other passengers too much, I would probably call that angry passenger to leave and if they refused to do so, calling the cops is other option I'll go for.
I live in Toronto Canada and I rely on the TTC. The worst thing that I heard of happening on our busses were sexual assaults and one lady who was lit on fire by another passenger. She died in the hospital. The guy who set her on fire was declared insane by the court.
ita funny I'm a bus driver I don't ever say anything tbh I just set up safely and drive and ignore them I'm pleasant with those who are pleasant with me, the driver was 100% right in this situation and those customers are lucky that was possibly not a super senior operator as that bus would of been out of service as fast as possible and they would be sitting on the curb
I've seen mid-route shift changes happen a few times while riding the bus. It's never been a big deal for me. If anything, it's just interesting to watch.
Couldn't agree more with anything you said. Cheers from a bus driver from Germany.
Thanks for watching!!
Bro I am on your side 100%! As a person with a physical disability that relies on my wheelchair to get around sometimes I have to rely on public transit. During my years of grade school I have a good drivers but I have also had drivers that do not have good experience with wheelchair transportation training. So I am glad drivers takes their time to get everything they need it that way I had a safe trip to and from school.
In fact when I was younger I want to become a bus driver when I got older, but sadly because of my disability I'm not able to become a bus driver. But I am really happy that there are bus driving simulators that I can play on PC or my Xbox. I've even learned a lot of stuff from my drivers over the years, and I make sure I get everything in place where I need it because I want to make sure my passengers are safe as well even though my passengers are in a video game.
That’s awesome! Much respect to you!!
I already know being a bus driver is a hard job as I've seen them being attacked in other videos and in some transit systems they had to build a box to protect the bus drivers.
Cool to see how different transit systems operate. All our shift changes take place at the central station.
I finished the vid, the TTC here in Toronto actually operates one of the best transit systems in North America. Buses run every 10 minutes or more on many routes, and even in non-peak times it often only goes down to 15 mins on routes far from downtown. That's better service than NYC offers if its not the subway, if you're not in the central core of NY many of its buses run every 30 mins like many other American cities. In Toronto you'll be on the city edge and its frequent service. Toronto passengers are spoiled to the point of getting upset at small 5 minute delays, and it is born out in this video. I literally just had a bus ride earlier today where there was a 5 min shift change, and while no one shouted, there was a bit of huffing and puffing as if passengers know better. I think more of these people should be forced to drive a bus for a day to understand the error of their ways. Or they could go to an American city like Memphis and see where service is every 45 mins and the bus stops running at 6pm, possibly no service at all on weekends. Yet we sit here with buses every 10 mins on a Sunday until 1am in Toronto. LOLOLOL They don't realize they have nothing to complain about. That's Toronto in a nutshell.
Wow, that’s fantastic scheduling. I was just thinking how lucky and spoiled they must be, then read where you said it yourself. Lol
The audacity of these people to complain over so insignificant. It’s not often when people complain, but I’ll gladly remind them that if they don’t like it, they can always exit the bus and wait for the next one. That usually shuts them up.
@@LuckyCharms777 its been 8 months but the ttc has possibly the worst schedule enforcement in the world. They just put a ton of buses on a route and say just drive, not caring about schedules. the 5-minute bus next to me is more like 3 every 15.
@@Humulator
I’m not sure what you mean by 3 every 15. However when you have very frequent service, it’s not uncommon for buses on the same route to stack up due to an inevitable delay so you might have one bus come late and the next bus come just a few minutes later, but on time.
@@LuckyCharms777 Yes, but the thing is, the less frequent routes, the 30 minute ones, run like every hour 2 buses come. The nights buses come from the day ones and again, its really bad.
I think the ttc is so used to ultra frequent service, that the few routes that don't, have so bad enforcement.
I did exclude that info I guess from the other comment
@@Humulator
Oh, okay. Yeah, they need to something to fix that.
Relieving in the middle of a route is the bane of my existence.
Especially when the relief doesn’t show up.
I mean, if you ever think the bus is taking long, you can always just get a license and a car like everybody else
I get mad when a passenger who gets on the bus and pulls out a $5 bill looking for change they’ve been inside the mall for hours near a store eating and buying things and don’t have change for the bus and want the drivers to let them on for nothing
I don't like it when bus drivers don't show respect for others but I much prefer Toronto's main public transport system, the TTC, than privatized transit that in too many cases is risky and dangerous for passengers. A video titled "Post-Soviet Transit: How Free Market Competition Can Ruin A City" (on the Railways of the World TH-cam channel) is a reminder of just how many corners private companies that claim that their ways of running municipal transit systems is the way such private companies instead try to cut.
during my transit days, when a person gets all pissy about the driver change. I would just tell the person that its built into the schedule. usually that will shut them up
The first years of my working life I spend as a cashier in a grocery store. Seems that bus drivers and cashiers (and police men, teachers,... members of the public services) are positions where you're prone to have people wanting to walk all over you. Accepting this makes life a lot easier. However, soon I realized what annoys these folks the most is, when you just smile back.
In my home town I have witnessed tram drivers and bus drivers being attacted verbally for really no reason. What I do in that case is walking up to the driver and leaving them my phone number. I offer them to call me so I can speak up for them if they get into further trouble because of any accusations or they have to explain themselves. Usually I do this in a hidden way, but sometimes I do it in a very obvious way so that the aggressor takes notice. One driver acutally contacted me. Solidarity!
That being said I always greet my drivers when I get on and wish them a pleasant day when I hop off.
Every job does it. I've been cashier, tacitcal security, conierge, waiter, bar tender, no one is there to give us an easy time only hard. We are not safe from that, and that can escalate to violence.
Just let them ramble pay them no mind do what you have to do keep it moving
Thanks for sharing this I'm a city bus driver as well and it's been plenty instances when I was getting relieved and the passengers got irate. Most of the time I get to my relief point way early and I've gotten asked when the bus is leaving. I told him when his driver gets here the bus will leave. I work nothing but mornings with the exception of RDO when I work any run. If passengers see it from our point of view they will appreciate us a lot more. I've been driving 7 and a half years and have seen it all. Before covid I wipe every trip and spray and I'm logged out way before I reach my relief point. Have you had to stay in the seat for up to 2hrs if you have no relief?
That's why I ignore passengers when they complain. Just wastes more time arguing with them. Then jolt the bus forward aggressively they shut up pretty fast. Lol.
This situation is exactly why I couldn’t be a city bus driver because I would open that door and tell em if you can’t respect the fact that I have to do this for the safety of you and me and everyone else then get the hell off of my bus! I would be fired the first day! I’m so sick of the entitlement attitude of society these days
In a perfect world there will be a door like what airline pilots have and then there will be a attendants to deal with the passengers. Responding to these types of people is keeping it short and sweet and if they have a problem refer them to the company.
As frustrating as travel delays may be for some, sometimes they're inevitable. I'd rather be safe and late than dead and early arrival (into a grave). I had a driver who was on the Silver Streak here in LA and when they pulled up to El Monte, they discovered there was a flat tire so a backup bus came. I was the only one who was not frustrated.
If I was that driver I would've asked. "You gotta death wish? Cuz if I leave this stop before I've set everything up, we're all going to be in body bags". Any response after that would be settled with. "If you got such a problem with The way (insert transit system) operates, why don't you get a car?"
Lol.
I know that bus operator that was speaking on the intercom. She is an awesome driver up here in TTC.
OOOOOOORRRRIIIIIIOOOOOONNNNNNNN
loved the quick visuals on the driver seat controls too lol, and it's a bonus that the vid appears to take place on an orion too lmao
Nice vid tho as always!
Yup all Orion in this video! I’ll probably be doing a blind spot video on an Orion like I did for the Gillig soon!
@@BusDriverLife thanks, nice news to hear on a particularly bad day
@@AviTheWolf I hope your day gets better or at least a fresh start tommorow!
@@BusDriverLife thanks

I learn a lot from you and your fellow bus drivers who comment here. I'm definitely going to do what I have to do as described by the company I work for and ignore a passenger who is being unreasonable.
I've got a question: I've been watching a show where fraudsters try to claim they were hurt on a bus or that a bus drove into them when in fact, they were negligent as a car driver or in crossing the road. I wanted to know if you had any experiences with that and what that was like. If you can't speak on it or don't want to, I understand. Thanks for another great video!
I have had someone say that my mirror hit them but most buses have so many cameras on the inside and outside of them that it’s going to be difficult for someone to make a false claim like that. Also any cameras in the area near the alleged incident can potentially be checked as well. Lots of people get caught in lies thanks to all of the additional cameras now.
@@BusDriverLife Yes! I've heard that too! Cameras are our best friends on the road. Thanks for sharing 👍
I've been on a bus when the shift has changed and saw this happen with another passenger. The driver let her off the bus. They also have to put that number thing in the overhead near the door .I found it interesting as it didn't bother me to watch the new driver get organized as I was either headed home or out shopping
Here’s my thing, the customer was extremely disrespectful and rude however the bus driver was also childish by threatening to wait even longer causing more delays. I get that you’re a bus driver but you kinda need to see it from both perspectives.
I normally try my best to see it from both sides and I thought I made it clear in the video that I understood why the passengers were frustrated..but maybe I failed to do that. You are definitely correct..the driver was wrong for saying she was going to make them wait. I would have never went back and forth with them. I’d just do my job and keep it moving. I appreciate you watching!
@@BusDriverLife I love your channel man I watch it all the time, thanks for responding. Just a quick question, as someone who wants to go into bus driving, as an experienced bus driver like yourself do you have any tips/warnings about getting into the field?
@@dxemetri Definitely take care of your body..this job can be tough on the back and neck over time...be prepared for anything at anytime. Follow the rules and policies wherever you drive. There is honestly a lot more..maybe I’ll make a video about this soon!
She said she was going to make them wait (so she can finish preparing the driver area). In other words, she wasn’t going to stop just because they were complaining. If it was me, they would’ve waited even longer because I would take the time to calm myself down before driving so I can focus on driving safely. If they want to complain, I’ll give them something to really complain about. Funny how they complain about the driver supposedly taking too long but never complain about passengers holding up the bus with their inconsideration, stupidity, and just not being prepared.
At 5:45 that happened in Las Vegas. The bus looks the same as the ones in Las Vegas and I also saw the video of it and it had rtc in the title and RTC is the bus service in Las Vegas.
To ignore is a great power, sometimes you have to ignore the assholes, Sometimes.
This happens all the Time In Columbia sc. And we still use the old 2010s Lfrs I'm surprised they lasted this long.
love this video 😂😂
Thanks!!
Bus driver was right. I probably would have tried to explain and then shut my mouth. As a bus driver from First Transit now working for SI Transportation, I would ignore them or tell them to contact customer service or dispatch.
I wear gloves, and I don’t take them off until I’m out of the seat,
Even the crazy guy yelling this is a stressful job most of us drivers can sympathize with him. RTC has us on the edge daily.
MV or KEOLIS...??
Nice video Keywan. That’s not good and passengers never have respect.

@@PortlandsTransport Oh dear. That wasn’t professional of the driver.
@@TheTransportHub17 haha. I put that in the wrong place. But ya you ain’t lying!
@@PortlandsTransport Oh ok lol.
@@PortlandsTransport I still need to do a video about this! Lol. So crazy!!
I agree that the TTC Operator has handled herself well however I wouldn't go back and forth with her. Once they call you out, they refuse to listen to reason. It's not worth it. We do the same thing too but call it making relief or getting relieved. I never had a passenger complain about that but I can tell when they're a little annoyed by it. If I explain something and they get aggressive, I leave it be.
Yeah, the back and forth just created a tug of war where one person had to give up ground and the original person who started bitching about it didn't even have the proper vocabulary for what she was trying to say. She called the bus driver conceited which made me think she had different issues with that particular driver and this just presented an opportunity to give someone she had beef with a hard time in front of an audience.
Just leave it alone, let people feel how they're gonna feel, and leave it loose so they can let go of it easier once the delay is over.
Passengers say that they pay our wages....truthfully, they don’t. The wages come from a myriad of other sources like grants, government funding, advertising, local cities, etc. The $2.50 doesn’t even pay for fuel & maintenance much less the driver’s hourly rate of pay. It varies between transit agencies/districts, of course.
Definitely true!!
Where do you think government funding, local city funding and grants come from? Taxpayer money. Just saying
@@cyclingtexas1670 ya but to say I pay your salary is stupid plus our paycheck doesn't come from u my guy it' comes out of the managers pockets so you're getting it all twisted
@@jamesdukes1869 The manager’s pocket is funded by taxpayer money, every transit agency is funded by taxpayer money so yes you do work for the taxpayers and they do pay your salary if you are a bus driver. I am a city employee myself and the people of my city fund my paycheck and therefore I work for public.
I did city bus driving and did a bus exchange in the middle of a route. Man people were so upset and we were late 10 minutes but I drove a little faster to get back on schedule. Even so they were still upset.
this is why my company has almost all shift changes happen at terminals, or are being done off peak. so we can off load our pax and have a empty bus to switch.
She has to set her driver's area so she can safely drive, no different than adjusting the seat and mirrors in your car.
Subscribed!!!
Thanks!!
Them passengers were making me mad…never had any passengers like this
Yeah... That level of disrespect means that rider will disembark before I roll.
Only once, I've had to remove someone for that reason, but y'all not riding with me.
The overwhelming majority of my riders are polite and thank me. I will not tolerate that behaviour on my bus.
You are right,all she the operator should have done was not to utter one word to this woman,operator needs to set up and sanitize the drivers compartment,safety first.
Just last night I had a drunk hassle me about stopping when I was running hot. I just smile and nod. That’s it.
I wanna be a ttc bus driver, could you help me on how to do the process to be in. Thank you!
my grandma wipes the bus seat before she even sits down
This wasn't even in the middle of the route; the bus was sitting at a bus loop, likely a Northern terminus on Steeles Avenue at the border between the City of Toronto and the Regional Municipality of York.
Bus driver needs to open the door and tell them to take their business elsewhere.
Yep, I sometimes tell them if they don’t like it, they can get off and wait for the next bus.
So a bum was on the bench going through his things(?) And asked the driver to wait. Driver said sorry I can't wait let's go. He started swearing and then a female passenger told the driver what's the harm? Later she was complaining why the trip was behind schedule :/
It's best to ignore them...
Yes it is.
Don't engage passengers in any kind of argument or confrontation it won't end well and the passenger will always try to escalate the confrontation.
Make a video of how passengers get upset when the bus breaks down.
They wanted bus driver personal number?! What the hell! Lmbo
I am new i am a bus fan also greetings from San Diego i also see this happen a mid route change or i forgot what you said for it normally people don't scream at the driver because it happens on a route normally it happens but people like her need to understand that more about the drivers instead of their side they should watch this channel
Thanks for checking me out!! I’ve been to San Diego before..it’s so nice there! I definitely made this channel so people could hear the perspective of a bus driver..hopefully it reaches some people! I appreciate you watching!
@@BusDriverLife No problem I am starting to become a fan of you
Sometimes I change over with my little Vietnamese mate , takes forever to adjust the seat and mirrors because he's so short and if anyone ever complains I take longer then get out and check the bus as well . Drove 5 hours without a break one day and got out lit up a cigarette to run to the toilets. This horrible woman says your late and you're smoking, I said because your such a horrible person I'm going to the toilet now. Walked as slow as possible and had 2 cigarettes . She complained, company said when you have to go to the toilet you have to go and it's not your buisness if drivers smoke. These people are trash that think they can treat people like crap, good thing is they're always too busy watching you that they always forget to press the stop button and miss their stop.
To bad so sad .. I’m doing my DOT pre trip & set up my mirrors so I can drive the bus safely... I would be assmuch pull the bus out of service .
11:13 ... this is the reason that you should just calmly, efficiently, and QUIETLY make any and all adjustments needed when you relieve another driver. If this driver had simply gone about her WA and setup quickly and headed out, the situation would not have escalated.
“You’re a good jobber or you wouldn’t have the job.”
Keegan!! Oh my gosh bro!! As a regular bus passenger that I am I totally get what the driver was doing. I don’t know man. I see things differently than my fellow bus passengers and I tell my bus drivers this all the time in pierce tranzit. Pierce tranzit’s bus driver. Have to do that sometimes. They have to make a driver change in the middle of a rout. I was on the bus when that happened one time and I just sat back and enjoyed the little time I had on the bus as they were figuring things out. Their was one video that I saw about buses. And it is so true man. What we say as passengers really has know meaning. It doesn’t matter what we say. It is up to the bus driver cause you all are their to do your job and keep us safe. I mean with me. What would happen if I go and do my job as a working pianist and I am setting things up and people are telling me how to do my job. I know I would hate that well we have to kick back and chill. I told one bus driver in pierce tranzit. “Bus time for me is chill time.’ I wish all of my fellow bus passengers would understand that. And I tell my bus drivers. This is not the firs time I rode a bus and this is not the last time I will ride the bus either. I see things so much differently than a regular bus passenger would. I get the driver’s point of view. And people actually even here in pierce county say the same thing about the bus drivers. If the bus driver is chatty that means they are awesome. If the bus driver is quiet then for some reason people think that they are so mean and rude. This is totally wrong. That is what bus drivers are. Each and everyone of them have a totally differently personality. This doesn’t mean that they are rude. I wish passengers would get this. I get to know the bus driver and how they are by approaching the bus and getting to see if they are talkative or not. Some of them are so talkative it is not funny. And then some of them are just so quiet. But they are all so direct and take their authority like they should. But people for some reason think just cause the bus driver doesn’t talk to you they are rude which is totally bogus. The things that people think. Maybe the bus driver just wants to make sure that they are keeping you safe and conversations on the bus are minimum. So many times going to work I have had quiet bus drivers. They always will greet you though getting on the bus and they are looking out for you. but that doesn’t at all mean that they are thinking about yelling at me or being rude. Hahahaha. People have these weird ideas and I wish it would stop. Then,,, i have had bus drivers who are very talkative and we do get in conversations and next thing you know the trip is over. So it really depends on what bus you are riding and what the driver’s personality is going to bee. That is just like me. I have 2 personalities actually. When i am not working and playing the piano when i am not on the bench I can bee funnier than heck. But when i am at the piano I actually do get very serious. And straight lipped. Where other pianists like it talk I am one that is talkative of course but when i am at work I need to focus on my job and do it well. So even with us in the piano world you have all different types of pianists. me though I am actually super serious and take my job very seriously. And thankfully i have had time to get to work early so I can relax with people and talk with them cause when work starts,,,,, that is it. I want to do my job to its fullest and make sure that the music is top for everyone so i have to stay focus and pay attention to every detail.
These situations are perfect for those canned lines the companies give you to interact with customers.
And I'm a bus driver at that in New Orleans and that has happened to me before
I definitely understand it happens a lot I tell passengers I have to wipe down the bus first than we will leave I appreciate your patience and understanding
most sane ttc bus driver
Do Pittsburgh port authority

It's funny, it's almost like if the passengers would just stop talking, the driver could get everything in order so they could go as soon as possible
