Anyone care to add to this thread and make note of callous bus (driver) behavior? Here is my daily observation.

I witnessed a bus with plate number 200 on Bay Street in the right late approaching stopped traffic at the new PI bridge intersection. He swung the bus to the right, and drove over the median and onto Dowdswell Street, to avoid the backed up traffic. Another bus (who's plate I did not catch) that was stopped at the light took off and drove directly through the red light from a dead stop. It seems that stupidity is contagious. He couldn't stand to see the 200 bus get the jump on him. This went down at about 6PM today.

Well I was down on east bay street down by bahama divers on a friday night. I was at the stop light and these 2 cars speed up to the red light. Two guys got out and starting making noise and carryin on trying to assualt the driver in front. All the while tourist and children in cars looking on. The light turned green and the driver almost ran over the two punks.....not a bus driver story but still craziness on the roads.

No, the one car where the two guys jumped out was a red car with doors that slid up like a ferrari. Thats all I got

maybe we should make a website and list the bus drivers liscence and what we saw them doing, lol.

but i'm sure we could probably get sued for doing that.

you know the law loves to protect criminals, and who they can't
protect with stupid laws, they simply ignore when reported

That would accomplish nothing, they have no shame.

I saw something that gave me a ray of hope. A police officer pulled over a Jitney and gave the driver a ticket. The driver was yelling and waving his arms but the policeman just kept writing.:tup:

They really need to do more of that. Since the little girl died two weeks ago, I have seen no improvement in the driving of many jitneys. What will it take?:realmad:
