VIEWS AND OPINIONS EXPRESSED IN MY VIDEOS ARE MY OWN AND DO NOT REFLECT MY EMPLOYER.
FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY!
I’ve had someone threaten me for not allowing him to bring his open beer onto the bus. 😂
This channel is amazing for anyone but especially for bus operators, it feels like a therapeutic focus group each video, with great facetiousness lol
I really appreciate that!!
I retired in 2010 after 25yrs as a bus operator. When I started in 1985 union had a driver who was also a trainer of several disciplines of self defense. He offered free courses to all operators and he stated the most important part of self defense for an operator was getting out of the seat. Personally I never had an issue partly because like the examples, I physically trained every chance I got. I did super sets of push-ups, pull-ups, dips and full body squats. At 220 there was no doubt I was fit and most people look for a situation they know is favorable for them. On a side note, the trainer who was a older man got jumped by 3 men. while in the seat, he put all 3 in the hospital and the company was later sued by all 3 saying he shouldn't had hurt them as bad as he did. After reading the 1st witness the Judge threw out the case.
As a member of the public, I apologize that bus drivers have to deal with difficult, dangerous, and rude passengers. Nearly every bus driver I've encountered has been professional and generally helpful. Thanks to our bus drivers.
No need to apologize! There are a lot of great people out there and I plan to highlight those situations more as well.
So glad that here in Portland Oregon we are explicitly told NOT to enforce fare. When people dont pay we simply hit thr "fair evasion" button just to log it.
They are worthless freeloading bums.
And just like in the east, in Jersey, the rider base gets accustomed to it an just waltzes past the operator and the company doesn't retaliate at all. Once they know it's free they will never hit the fare box again. Do your job and report it, and it is ignored. Try to enforce it yourself and you're in the wrong and get punished. There is ultimately no winning.
@@BakaniSnowpaw For bus drivers who get butt hurt over people not paying there is no winning. True liberation comes from not caring about it 😜
But even so, 98% of my passengers pay even though they know people get away with not paying. It's a misnomer that nobody will pay if they know they can get away with it. It's really just the super hard up people.
Same here. My company told us the money that gets put into the fare box doesn't pay our paychecks, we're government funded. At the end of the day I'm getting paid regardless, I just count them and move along.
@@sunamitrash they're still thieves.
It's funny how people ask bus drivers everything and we just trying to figure out where to turn/go 😂😂😂😂
I've had passive aggressive people come up on the bus before and it's annoying because I've actually gotten terminated for a bullshit story that the company made up taking the side of a customer over its own operator of over 16 years which was following the company's own rules. Sometimes you just have to pick and choose your battles.
My favorite comedy video from the Bus Driver Life's channel. I like how you did the karate chop with your hands lol. 😅 😅 I still don't feel like a person should be attacked at their job just for laying down the rules and regulations.
I had a guy here In Seattle board and begin to walk past me. I told him the fare price and he says it’s at your own risk to ask him that…smh So now i do Tae bo😂
That’s crazy!! LOL at Tae Bo!! 🤣
What it takes is soft skills with people. Too many Bus Operators where I work like to give it to people straight and tell it like it is. There should be nothing wrong with that, except the public can be easily butthurt at best, and downright dangerous at worst. I’ve thought about the lighter fluid scenario many times. What I do with bicyclists is just be cool. Let them argue as to why they need to bring their bike on board and the fact that
*I’M THE ONLY BUS DRIVER IN THE WHOLE METRO AREA*
who won’t let them do whatever it is they wanna do. And I just speak calmly. Do not worry about time, because I’m paid by the minute. If they wanna hold my bus up for 16 hours because they wanna argue, then that’s fine with me. The other riders will be upset, but that’s not my problem. My problem is making my $38 and change per hour, and staying alive and in one piece ✌️
38 an hour wow in Miami we only making 30
Chicago is 39 an hour up here.
Keywan i must say.... Gotta love your Karen laugh... So funny and evil sounding lol
Aw man "I was waiting for 15 min I shouldve had my fare ready" 🤣🤣
We should have the have the right to defend ourselves against attacks.
We had one driver I used to work with at Yolobus, got them to come over to RT, they got attacked on the 23 on Eithan, she took a lot of time off and eventually went back to Yolo.
Can't blame her all that much considering I had a shooting on my bus.
5:05 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 “don’t they train you guys how to deal with traffic?” 😂😂😂😂
As an ex taxi driver who is considering becoming a bus driver I can totally relate to this.
I love your videos bro and your Shorts be funnnnnnnyyyyyy!!! They be so true 😂😂😂. Here at CapMetro in Austin, our 2 electric 60 foot New Flyer Electric Xcelsiors actually have 4 slot bike racks inside the rear of the bis instead of the front
I could not imagine driving a bus without security screens London bus drivers. I probably would have been attacked. But then again I would have had early retirement insurance with a paid me out for the rest of my bus driving career.😂 if we didn't have screens could you imagine having bikes on the front of your bus if you run somebody over there be tied up in those bikes? LOL 🤣
I'm more than ready. I'm from NYC, and about to start driving buses. This video is especially true here.
Public… be crazy
This tipsy dude followed me off the bus the other day to complain about me not flirting with him. “Oh it’s cause I’m on the bus.” “I know you training a new employee but you ain’t got to treat me like dis.” “It’s always ya own people.” 🙄 Bruh. Just anything and everything, these folks gots to complain bout something.
That’s really sad! Glad you are ok because people like that can be unpredictable!!
We’re lucky in Melbourne Australia, we don’t collect the fares, we just drive, we have officers come on to check if passengers have tapped on, they rarely monitor buses but they do
When i pull up and they're patting themselves down like TSA, i already know they trying to dodge the fare 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Do Sacramento buses have a protective door for the drivers? It's incredible how dangerous being on a bus is in many large cities. Wow!
It absolutely kills me pax see me at the light…. I pull up and they do t have their fare ready!!!! Or their phone!!!!
Hey hey loved the video... I just wanted to tell you I did get my CDL permit your videos have kept me inspired and it also helps you are funny. Wish me luck on my driving career journey and thank you for making driving a bus seem less scary. Keep the content coming. Would love more day and in the life.
Some of my cool bus driver friends in Detroit Metro lost their jobs defending themselves against the BT-1100.
That had to be the funniest intro ever 🤣🤣
7:39 BOYYYYY!!!
At some point they just need to put the fare box on the outside and the door doesn’t open until you pay and closes once on like a subway.
Keep these comedy videos coming.
thankfully, no bus fares in kansas city
😂😂😂😂where you get them wigs 😂😂😂😂😂
Omg this too funny
Party city! 🤣🤣
Ueah Detroit we got alot of bus driver get beat but some of these drivers are out of order
I swear we not all like that🤣🤣
I know I know…😃
He ain’t lying…how u waiting 20 mins n don’t have fare ready?
The driver could have been exercising. Not preparing to fight.
Thanks for that! I’m so wrong for including the clip. What was I thinking??!! I’m going to just stop making videos now. I’m so stupid. Thanks for watching though. For the record.. I included that particular clip for fun. I never specified that he was preparing to fight. I said he was working on his moves and it’s important to get out of the seat to do something physical. However since he appears to be doing martial arts moves..it fit perfectly with the subject matter of the video. The other meme was more specific..was that one ok for you??
Soooo true!!
Amazing karate 10/10
0:43 so what, we cant stay gillig or new flyer or nova or Nabi 😂
Have to stay ready. 😂
I LOVE THIS CHANNEL
I had a good time
Bus driver life. Can you explain to me why American buses do not have security screens to protect the drivers from the coronavirus people attacking you spitting at you 😮
Some do. Many transit agencies here in America do have shields. Some don’t including here in Sacramento. There are tons of different transit systems in America so it depends on what they decide is important to include on their buses.
😂😂😂😂😂
I don't even care about the fare no more. Once they say "driver" upon boarding I just wave them by because I know its going to be some BS. I don't enforce nothing no more. Toronto has turned out to be a dumpster fire of a city.
You right? I stopped arguing with passengers about bus fares a long time ago especially when I'm finishing they can do what they want. As long I get to the last stop on time. I didn't care. Just go and sit down. Leave me alone because nobody will back you up the bus company, the police
@@johnnyred5982 it doesn't matter what company but they tend to back up the customers most of the time even the scammers. Drivers are bad, the public is good mentality.
Same here, I seen a lot of illegal migrants get on my bus and don't pay their fare at all.
I drive buses in Melbourne Australia and we don't have to deal with bus fares plus most people ride for free
They're a pack of bludgers.
Goood Idea
That bus driver in Cleveland, OH got fired from his job for defending himself against that lesbian woman who swung on him. I was cool with him whenever I visit Cleveland.
@@JackMorrison-jz8hz which is why bus driving is a terrible job. Managers.
Bus depot managers are among the lowest form of life. I wonder if the manager would lose his or her job if he or she defended themself against a disgruntled driver?
@@jamesfrench7299 I take my firearm with me in my bookbag when I started my job because I know that the union is not gonna have my back and I have another job on the side just in case someone try to harm me. I also got my own business too as a backup plan.
Nice video as always! Just one point - I don't think the term "driver" is meant to be derogatory (the way you portrayed it) by most people. In the UK at least, "driver" is a term of respect. Rather than calling someone "cabbie", "hey you", "dude", etc... You address them as "driver". It's similar to "sir" or "ma'am", but for the driving profession.
Or don’t even bring a bike if you’re gonna get mad at the bus driver for following policies. The whole reason they put bike racks on outside is to put your bike on. But keep in mind that not all buses will have them. I ride NJTransit everyday & some are their NABIs don’t have ‘em & their XD60s.
I keep my luggage bay locked with the MCI's and delegate what's under my compartment. Two bikes, that's it. Luggage takes precedent.
Many agencies will fire the operator who was attacked even if completely unprovoked. I do not enforce any rules because of that. I will even pick up people in intersections and will allow bikes inside etc
Wow it’s a crying shame that society has become what it is today. Even passenger on passenger hostility exists when people are trying to get where they need to go and they get harassed. It’s so pathetic! Stay safe out there.❤️🙏😎
It’s crazy to me that people ask for free rides. Around here people just walk on in.
I like that one I can not get it
Those parodies were spot on and hilarious 😂
Thank you!!
We are about to
Go fare free and I can’t wait not to deal w it.
Dude! Not even two weeks ago, I had a clown get on my train, sat in the C section of the train (the middle part) and started blasting music. I made four, FOUR, announcements to turn his music off. I had already called for security to meet me. The last announcement I made, he got mad AF. He started threatening me saying "I needed my ass kicked" and that I was ignorant. I called it in, so I basically ignored him at that point. At the next station, he blocked my door with his bike so he could come up to my cab and harass me more. I wouldn't open the window and I wouldn't let him speak. I told him to remove his bike and leave. I closed the shade on him, so he came back in and sounded on my door. I sounded back and told him to get off the train. He finally left when he figured out he couldn't intimidate me. The Santa Clara County Sheriff's couldn't do anything. Two nights later, another operator was assaulted and knocked out. I heard that clown (not the same one) was caught and arrested.
Sad situation. There are no consequences for people out here most of the time
Lol showed our safety manager your channel no he plays them in training😂😂
Wow! That’s amazing and it makes me nervous at the same time! 🤣
