So much drama on the bus. I was riding the other day and we pick up two rather scraggly looking guys. One guy has his bus ticket and scans it in and sits down. The other doesn't. The bus driver and the other rider are at an impasse. He continues to mumble and shuffle through his pockets looking for his ticket while the bus driver continues to state that "IF you don't pay you don't ride." So the bus is sitting at the stop and not moving while we all wait for this stunning showdown to finish. And we wait....and wait. For about 5 minutes this guy who I would guess is homeless...or just poorly groomed is looking for his bus pass.
An irate rider of the bus sitting in the back decides to break the tension with a well placed "Get the fuck off the bus." He repeats this phrase a few times. Finally the bus driver tells them to get off the bus. The two men don't get off the bus. We sit for another minute. "Get off the fucking bus" can be heard several more times. The two men finally depart but not before one of the scruffy men looks to the back of the bus and says, "Fuck you fag...I will kick your ass."
Another day in the life of Metro Transit. Keep in mind I have ridden the bus maybe 9 or 10 times since June. My riding-to-insane story ratio is pretty high. I am thinking I have to start riding more and just bringing a video camera.
