Reminder that #busdrivers appreciate a #greeting going in and out. They drive everyone around all day so you can jump on and get out. Some small acknowledgement they aren't robots but #people working hard for you isn't a bad thing.
Unless your bus is actually driven by robots I guess. Then I didn't say anything.
Yes, I did just get in a bus where everyone else just completely ignored the driver going in. Not even worth a look away from their #phones apparently 🥲.
I am #grateful for #busdrivers who deal with rudeness and stupidity every day and don't knock heads together. You're INCREDIBLE. People who work at the #DMV who aren't sadistic assholes. I am so grateful to you all. It's not a pleasant place. Thank you for doing the work and keeping our society functioning.
#gratitude and #blessings to every #cashier and #foodservice worker. You all deserve a raise, more respect, and kindness. Thank you for your work. It's valuable. 💛

Under the current contract between the #ATU and #RFTA workers cannot strike this year. If no agreement is reached by January 1, 2025 workers will strike at midnight on New Year’s Day, one of the busiest days in the organization’s schedule.

Where is the humanity in bus drivers these days? #TransportforLondonTfL #buses #busdrivers A late 70yr old running ( trying to) for a 378 on straight road at dark Barnes Common, gets to within 25 yards of bus stop, sticks his arm out. Bus doesn’t even slow and sails straight past. Not even stop at bus stop and wait. Next one in 20 mins. What sort of society is this? #mayorkhan

I absolutely respect bus drivers' right to not have to put themselves in danger collecting fares. But the best solution would be to just do what I've been advocating for the subway, as well:
Don't have a fare.
Make it free to ride. Just pay for the whole thing with taxes. (Congestion pricing would help with that, and fuck Gov. Hochul.)

Home from the Roadeo, cleaned up and tired. GREAT event this year, ran smoothly, no hiccups or calamities. We give six prizes: First, Second, and Third place, Fastest Time, Best Wheelchair Securement Score, and Rookie of the Year for drivers competing for the first time. Same first-place winner as last year (his fifth, and he's going for ten), but it was sweet seeing our Rookie of the Year, a young driver from Howard County, also winning Second Place. It was heartwarming to see him so happy and proud, and his coworkers all cheering for him. He takes his job seriously and it gives me joy to know there are public transit drivers out there like him. Our Best Wheelchair Securement winner was a sweet lady who got a PERFECT score and they tell me she's known in her agency as the best one for dealing with people in mobility devices.
Met folks from all around the state, and I do seem to attract the western MD folks around me. But now? I'm a wreck. A WRECK. Don't bug me for a while.
And what's a Roadeo, you ask? It's a competition for bus drivers from around the state, testing their abilities. It includes a safety inspection, proper mobility device securement, and an obstacle course that drivers must negotiate safely. This all promotes safety and skill in the world of public transit, and the winners go on to a national competition.

Hopping on a #bus to return to your #hometown during #festive #holidays may soon become a thing of the past if nothing is done to halt the declining number of bus drivers
With at least 5,000 #vacancies to fill, it has been suggested that the government offer free #training to those interested in becoming #busdrivers
The #shortage was expected to become more severe with each passing year
