For days now, I've noticed there are some people who don't know how to take the bus. What I mean, is that they don't realize that bus fare is $2.25 for adults, or $1.50 for concession (children and seniors). Certainly, the bus driver can push a button to release a transfer ticket for you, but you need to pay - and by that I mean, not just pay whatever you have in your pocket - but to pay the full amount. Most bus drivers won't bother arguing or pointing out that you are a quarter short, or what not. They usually just push that button for that transfer, and allow you to board. Such passengers know that they are cheating the system. They take advantage of the situation that they are old, and no one wants to argue with an elder. Perhaps elder is the wrong word - the term elder refers to someone who is aged and wise. These people aren't wise, just aged - OLD and TRICKY. Full-paying passengers despise tricky cheats like that.
Learn to get off the bus, too. Learn to pull that cord for yourself. Learn that the bus driver won't stop unless he knows to stop. He cannot read your mind, and will not waste his time by stopping at every bus stop just in case. Twice, this morning, two people failed to pull the bell cord to let the bus driver know that they wanted to get off. So when the bus pulled over to pick up passengers, he did not open the back door. These two people stood at the back door, pulling on the door handle, grunting and making inaudible frustrated noises. Other passengers had to let the bus driver know that people wanted to get off. I'm sorry, but get an IQ and pull that bell yourself!

well, some people like taking advantage all the time.
BTW, how was the vacation at Whistler? was it fun?
Whistler was soooooooo relaxing!!! I'd love to do it again!!
If you dont speak any English and annoy the driver in your banter he will get so tired of you he will let you on rather than listen to the terrorist language you speak. haha so racist but true cuz' i've seen it.
Also, They will let you on in the slums for free if you look like K-Fed (dirtbag) or an axe murderer for fear of their lives. I dont blame them. Sadly I dont fall under either category cuz' I speak English and look so damn sexy.
Tricky?! Take advantage of situations?! When did Cheney and Rumsfeld take the bus? It's not just old people that abuse the system. It's everyone and it is extremely prevalent at the skytrains where passengers ride it for free with basically no fear of being caught. HONOUR SYSTEM! GOOD FUCKING IDEA! What do they lose somewhere between 10-20 million per year. Idiots.
As for the people not pulling on the bell that's typical. But what's worse are the ones that pull on it right when the driver gets to that stop. Which he assumes, rightly so, that the person wanted the next stop. But of course not. Then h
Sorry for that I accidently sent it. Guess bus riders arent the sharpest knives in the drawer. Otherwise they could afford a car. haha burn on me... oh well.
Coninuing: Then he/she gets pissed off at the driver like it's his fault. My theory is that guys dont pull the bell cuz' they are pulling on something else at the time. Maybe that's why the floor is so sticky. haha gross stuberry is out.
