[nabs-l] bus driver frustrations

[humberto]

Hello dear students:
Today I had a bad experience while riding the city bus on my 
town.
Well, Bus drivers are usually quite good about letting me know 
which bus number I am getting on, and sometimes they call on my 
stop when I want to get off. But today, I was trying to tell the 
driver what bus number I was getting on, and he did not answer. I 
kept telling him and telling him over and over and he * will not 
* answer my question.
Once again, I was trying to tell him where I wanted to get 
dropped off, which street and bus stop and everything, and he ** 
ABSOLUTELY DID NOT ** respond to my questions and so I kept 
insisting and insisting over and over. The ones who helped more 
where strangers who were on the bus rather than this stupid bus 
driver that will not communicate with me and will not answer my 
questions of whether it was the right bus and the right stop and 
did not even call out bus stops! I'm sorry if I sound a little 
too blunt, but what can I do? I felt so frustrated! Had anyone 
have these issues before? Any other terrible experiences that you 
might be willing to share? Again I'm frustrated about this bus 
driver and I'm afraid that it will happen again in a near future 
and get dropped off at the wrong stop possibly at the other side 
of the city or perhaps at other city. Aren't bus drivers supposed 
to be nice? Any thoughts? Ideas? Concerns? Tips? suggestions?
Cheers, Humberto
