  • Bad Minibus Driver

    I must record my memory here.  This morning (Sunday) I was taking a Castle Peak Road minibus to church at around 8am.  The driver was so rude.  There were Passenger A, B, and C in the bus.

    The happenings in sequences:

    1. Passenger A requested the driver, saying "next bus stop please."  The driver did not acknowledge the stop request.  Passenger A shouted again, "next bus stop please."  The driver () was then agitated, retorting, "is it next bus stop?  Next bus stop, right?  Is that you want to get off at the next bus stop?  Next stop, right?  Is that right?" Passenger A was like .
    2. While Passenger A was getting off, Passenger B ask, "is it xxxx Street here?".  The driver said, "not there yet."
    3. Passenger C shouted, "stop at xxxx Street!"  (He was just rude, not a threat in any way.)  As he got off the minibus, Passenger C paid.  But the driver looked at the coins he got and () shouted, "HEY!!! give me the right coin!!!"  (meaning: Passenger C gave the driver some fake coins / wrong currency.)  An interesting point to note: Passenger C then get on back to the minibus and opened his wallet without saying a word, suggesting that he meant to trick the driver by giving fake coins / wrong currency.
    4. As Passenger C got off the minibus after paying the correct money, Passenger B felt the threat and stood up, "oh I want to get off here too!".  The driver () asked  Passenger B, "ain't you going to xxxx Street?"  Passenger B's voice was trembling, "getting off here is fine too."

    Everyone else was so stressful in the bus.  If you took any community/general health courses, the driver totally exemplified a Stressor.
