As a bus driver !! This is 100% our reality!! I’m not in LA but Orange County.. and we get attacked all the time but no one bats an eye!! We are people too!! We are just there to make our money to support our families…
@@rockon8174 no the one time i was attacked it was a mentally ill guy who escaped the 51/50 hospital and he tried to pull me out the window, the rest are all sexual assaults.. my coworker had a gun pulled on her because two passengers were fighting and he told her to keep driving
I recently traveled to Japan. I didn't have a vehicle so I used their transit system a lot. It's super safe. It's super secure. There are freaking cops everywhere. Cops are at entry points, cops are on the train, cops cops cops. And they verify that every person that boards has paid the fare. If you cause a disturbance on their transit system, you're going to jail. They just don't put up with it. Zero tolerance.
That’s not true, they don’t care. There’s way too much homelessness, mental health crisis, and there’s no law enforcement. They need to do more and fast.
@@danielleparra4800 ...... Duh. Of course things will still happen. That's life. But one still has to keep things up in life. Obviously you need to get your feet wet.
Yeah rite that's good rite too those ride ur own risk those need in program they get help they need Jesus other going these really bad. way worse and put in program and they need Jesus those need help ..
Same can be said about subway, Lift, Uber, and etc. A teen was almost taken by a Lift driver to unknown area until the teen saw an opportunity to escape when that Lift driver stop at an intersection.
Yeah drug and alcohol that's why there in situation that there in and they don't care about it there responsible other that there going thru like that put them in program the safety other they need Jesus..
Thank you to this driver for sharing her experience, which is likely the experience of all Metro drivers and I've had similar experiences as a bus and train passenger.
@metrolosangeles Fired me for calling in sick without a warning. Even when I was attacked on my bus as an employee and a man had a seizure on my bus instill continued my job and route but was unfairly let go without a fair chance. This job and company do not care about their employees. I was harshly told to leave the office and was not given a chance even though I had doctors notes and I paid union fees!
This is unacceptable Los Angeles stop giving hugs to criminals and stop this sanctuary city bs. Here's a Solution give drivers something to defend themselves and refuse service to anyone who spits, or do other harm. Metro you should be ashamed of yourself anyone can speak up this is a free country.
these are concerns you need to bring to your Union Meetings. After all, you operators vote for the chairman and other officers. You shouldn't be in danger for helping the community get around in the city safely. How can an operator drive people to their destination if they worried about getting attacked themselves.
I have visited half of Europe and used public transport everywhere. And only in Los Angeles and its suburbs I am afraid to use buses and subways. How can this be in one of the richest countries in the world?!
Exactly well said, I only use the buses wisely like to go "out of the area" and to go to work on broad daylight of course other than that I use my bicycle locally on broad daylight at night time it's more dangerous and risky🤷.
They need to deploy actual police, 1-2 officers per bus route. Make sure homeless people are not riding on the bus. Why is it fair that people who pay have to be subjected to homelessness, drug use and order illegal activity while on public transit.
Metro is HORRIBLE. My Dear friend and family works for them. They have been assaulted, bus has been shot up, nude people, people having sex, etc. They can't take normal breaks, restroom breaks nor lunch; my friend has developed health issues because of this. Her buses have had roach and other bug infestations. Rarely is the Police/Metro security on board. Yet Metro got nice new bathrooms for customers and concerned about customer safety. Horrible employer for this and other scheduling issues
I was randomly sucker punched by a crazy homeless man on the subway. The force knocked me to the floor. I ran out the car just when police happened to be patrolling the station. I told them what happened and pointed to the attacker who also exited the car. They let him go even without even talking to him though he was still yelling and cursing at me because they didn't see it happen. And they treated me very rudely, like I was making a big deal out of nothing!
Metro cops do almost nothing but laugh at victims of random crimes all day. Sorry that happened to you. The subway is worse than the bus lines, and I had to defend passengers and the driver from a perp with an expired canister of pepper spray. Not my job really. But cops don't care. Or they just aren't there. You gotta buddy up to ride. Safe travels to you. I sincerely hope you heal mentally and physically.
Metro, has a great PR department, to give great lip service. It's all crap! There should be security on every bus!! They let anybody on, and that includes a lot of mentally ill, and nefarious types! Even though they had to build an adjoining Sheriff's station, Willowbrook is the wild, wild west. SO MANY train stations are ancient, filthy, and all the elevators smell strongly of pee pee.
@@YooAdrriiaannI remember back then when it was RTD all the bus drivers was allowed to go on strike back in the late 80s. Unfortunately when the 90's started everything has changed to the worst🤷.
There are cameras on the Metro buses. Cameras don't enforce anything. And don't get me started about Metro Transit Watch. A more useless app doesn't exist. They just make you hope/believe they're doing something.
There is zero chance anyone who can afford a car will ride public transportation. It's simply not safe. Forget about trying to bring home shopping. It will get stolen and police will not care because perp will likely not be prosecuted.

Are you being attacked due to asking for fare?

Stay in Japan then.
Well murica is a third world country so…

Metro is unsafe ride at your own risk
Yeah rite that's good rite too those ride ur own risk those need in program they get help they need Jesus other going these really bad. way worse and put in program and they need Jesus those need help ..
It's truth put my reply that's wrong people help they need rite too say it ..
It's wrong and don't agree something needs too be hard in here but needs be about situation have be at risk
Same can be said about subway, Lift, Uber, and etc. A teen was almost taken by a Lift driver to unknown area until the teen saw an opportunity to escape when that Lift driver stop at an intersection.
When the police arrive, there’s only the victim.
It’s addicts homeless addicts .
Yeah drug and alcohol that's why there in situation that there in and they don't care about it there responsible other that there going thru like that put them in program the safety other they need Jesus..

The turn styles are a joke. The thugs just jump over them. MTA police won't do anything different. Security is still weak at metro
Yep, completely weak

This needs to go viral 😢 metro is failing and need to do BETTER…this video isn’t aging well for metro 😡
Uh, that's the wrong Metro logo. That logo is for DC.
Ok….Shes giving too many details that Metro can find out who this driver is!!!
Let me guess...

Fiat currency is not a measure of wealth. 🙄 America is running on counterfeit currency.
By the time the police came. They're too busy pulling over lowriders on whittier blvd
With all her incidents being described won't be long before Metro find out who she is
If you’re an operator and stuff like this happens to you, lawyer up (workers comp), asap.
Indeed. New York bus operator got spit on, he got 1 year full paid time off!!!! 365 days of pay and not having to drive!
Cops don't do anything
How do these grammar errors get approved? SONY you get reprimanded for even a comma in the wrong spot
So scary

She told the mentally ill person they could have the bus it is not mine. I would have said the same exact thing.

Find another job, no job is worth your life
I often take the bus and there are a lot of violent incidents. People are callous

It’s always been a very dangerous situation taking busses in Los Angeles
Exactly, since the 70's

Now imagine if you are black and the guy who attacked you was White. Same lack of police interest?

We need affordable housing don't let this
Distract you
What’s cameras going to do? We need boots on the ground. We need fare enforcement.
Without those two things, there while be no progress.
Quit while you’re ahead
If you’re gonna talk about LA Metro, use the right logo. That’s DC Metro’s logo.
😂😂 exactly
I just noticed that too the "Metro Bus logo" so hilarious and amusing🤷😂🤣.
do they not have a union to strike?
Per contract we’re not allowed to go on strike, latest contract was signed in 2022. Metro Operators are seeking a new union, current one is corrupted.
@@YooAdrriiaannI remember back then when it was RTD all the bus drivers was allowed to go on strike back in the late 80s. Unfortunately when the 90's started everything has changed to the worst🤷.

It’s sad. The union sides with metro, making it a 2 on 1.
