People who blame the bus driver are the very people who cut bus drivers. You can’t brake a bus on the dime like a car, I would know as I operate bus myself. 99% of the people in cars cannot drive, they think it’s a video game.

As someone who drives a hearse, I can confirm people try to brake check all the time or race to get in front you, cut you off etc, I feel for these poor bus drivers

As a bus operator yall cars need to do better

Every car wants to cut off the other... Not like the lights or bus is going to make a difference. That bus keeps 10 to 20 other vehicles off the road. People need to be happy it's one bus & not 20+ cars!

What's wrong with some drivers? Time to do psych evaluations! Driving is a privilege, not a right! Lately, I've been disrespected by drivers trying to run me off the road. I have 23 years on the road, no accidents and I'm nice to other people out there.we now have to worry about kids on e-bikes etc. Please wear helmets.
