I always have my chunky pink headphones on everywhere I go. I don't care if it looks douche, because I'm not here to fit everybody's expectations. I'm extra careful on the road but always take them off when I'm studying so I can concentrate. Honestly, after a long day doing work or school I really don't feel like interacting with anyone, I've been doing it all day anyway so I go home, with my music and chill out in my room alone to wind down for the day.

Me: "WTF?? I wanted to get off there!"
Driver: "Should have rung the bell."
Me: "I DID."
Driver: "Nah. Didn't hear it."

Usually, the next stop is like five minutes' drive away, so a long walk back. But what freaks the hell out of me is WHAT THE HELL DOES HE THINK I WAS STANDING THERE FOR, THE ****ING COMPANY??? I mean, bit of logic here please! It's just a way for someone to assert their pathetic bit of control over you: oh I'll just fly past the stop, he can't say anything to me. ****ers.
If you know he has headphones on and you are already standing next to him just tap that mofo on his shoulder at your stop.

No I meant I sometimes have the phones on. I'd be seriously upset if my busdriver was listening to music on phones while driving! But it's like if I'm listening to music on the bus and my stop comes up, I won't turn my player off for the short walk up to the door, so I'll just keep listening. As for tapping the driver, you can't. A, it's against the law to distract him while driving and B, he's sealed in his own little cockpit as it were. That's what the bell's for. Christ, it even activates an LED sign saying "Stopping" to tell him to, guess what, stop!

Well idk what to tell you then he probably just does it on purpose to be annoying from time to time.

I've tapped a drivers shoulder once or twice when the bell wasn't working and he didn't hear me for whatever reason.

Well crap... I locked myself out of my apartment, my landlord is going to be an hour to unlock my door and I left my smokes inside. I don't even have any cash for the ice cream truck that's on the corner :-(

I'm sure he was punished somehow. I can't presume anything but it looks like the victim may have been messing with the driver before the attack. I'd love to see five minutes of previous footage.

Terrible as it is, it amuses me how much this entire scene resembles something that may happen in a Grand Theft Auto game. It's all so casual. The beaten man gets punched about 15 times, thrown into the street, and then gets up and walks forward just like a video game character.

Not to excuse this behavior, but people really shouldn't ask bus drivers a lot of questions. Dealing with the whims of the public is probably a big problem for many drivers.

I was thinking along the same lines. I would've loved to hear what those other questions were but even then it had to be more than that.

I wonder what was going on in that driver's life that he had so much pent up anger that needed releasing.

Well the passenger may have been an annoying prick, but he certainly wasn't being physically aggressive about it. There are better ways that the driver could have handled the situation in a more mature, professional manner. Instead he decided to be a dick.
