I've taken the bus to and back from school for a couple of times ever since school started. I kinda feel proud of it actually. However, I do get lost from time to time and I rely on other people to pull that buzzer thingy most of the time so I can get off the bus for transferring.
Anyway, last month when I had to take the bus home, I saw a 604 coming my way that said English Bluff. When I asked the bus driver just to make sure if they pass by Ladner he told me he didn't know in a way that makes me seem like I'm annoying him. He probably had a bad day or something so whatever. I got on the bus anyway since my mom told me to take whatever bus that started with 60*. But I kept thinking to myself, how can he not know where he's going? Does he even remember where he lives??
Ok, fine. I needed to take the bus again yesterday because I got off school at 5:30 and my parents have already left. I bumped into the SAME bus driver and he closed the door while I was on the stairs and hit me on my shoulder really hard. Not only that, he didn't even apologize! The only thing he said was "OOPS!! Watch your back!!". I seriously wanted to yell at him, but since there were so many people in the bus (and some were sleeping) I didn't want to make a scene (and wake some of the people up). My shoulder is now bruised. I thought that he didn't deserve a "Thank you" so I left the bus without saying anything.
When I told my mom what happened, she said that the bus drivers use to be so nice. They'd remember where you need to stop and stop there for you. That bus driver that brought me back home was probably new - that's why.

I've seen my share of bad bus drivers...once on my way home from richmond..I was on the 404 and then the bus driver kicked some guy off just because he said that he wanted to go home, but he was unsure which stop he should get off at...THE GUY JUST WANTED TO GO HOME!!! I really hope that your shoulder feels okay!!!
Thats too bad, most of the bus drivers ive seen have been pretty nice. Especially the guy i see Monday, Wednesday, and Friday afternoons. The worst driver ive seen was the worst only because he didnt say hi as i came on, which is a pretty high 'worst'. Anyway yea thats pretty crappy, I wouldnt have minded saying something to that particular driver. "Ow! My arm! Youll burn in hell!" well maybe not.. Hope your shoulder doesnt feel too bad =/
lol I'm pretty sure the first time you asked me about taking the bus, I told you (and drew you a picture) that you could take any of the buses 601, 602, 603, 604, 608 during rush hours AS LONG AS you get on and off on at the bus stop at the intersection of Ladner Trunk Road and Highway 17 for the 602, 603, 604's because they go straight to Tsawwassen rather than thru Ladner. So far, the only mean driver I've met is the one who said "You have to put your UPass in the machine" and I'm like "It doesn't work! It says "Invalid Card"." and he's like "You still have to put it in so it's recorded". WTF?!?! How can the machine record an Invalid UPass?!?!?!?! Anyways, I only met him twice so that's ok :).
Fucking ass whole bus drivers See this is why i hate people People annoy me lol I think i have become a hermit lol I think that you should complain to translink and then maybe you can get a free pass so they hope that you dont sue them lol! Love yah and put some ice on that bruise lol *hugs* *grumble*stupidfuckingbusdrivers*grumble*
