RTS bus drivers hate me. It's true, folks.
Two weeks ago, I stepped out in front of a bus to try to get it to stop for me, because the bus driver wasn't stopping for me... it didn't work. I had to get out of the way of a moving bus that didn't stop at it's designated stop. Needless to say, I missed the bus and had a hard time getting to class.
Today, it continued... this time it is partly my fault though. I forgot my wallet and with it my UF ID. I realized this, but decided to give the bus a shot anyway, because it was worth it when I considered the three mile walk home.
It didn't work. I have seen this bus driver almost every weekday for the past two months. I say hello when I get on. I say thank you when I leave. I even mix it up slightly sometimes too.
"No. If you don't have ID -- it's fifty cents."
No wallet --> no fifty cents --> no bus ride home.
'Miiiiike!!'
Ah, I don't think that the RTS Drivers hate you, it is just this: They are in a dead end job, and you are a young college kid that is going to get a better job! SO, for some sort of little kick, they like to make us college students pay every once in a while! I wouldn't take it personally!
