OC Transpo Bus Driver Loses It on Passenger

I was riding the 96 back to Kanata from downtown Ottawa and it's just me, a 20 something male, and the bus driver. During the bus ride I had my ear buds in listening to music. I heard a voice behind me that was rather loud. I paused my music and over heard this young man saying that he "sleeps on the ground, run around with no clothes on, tries to be as spontaneous as possible, that he hates pregnancy and loves nudity." I gathered that this individual suffers from some sort of mental illness. He continued to talk loudly as if the phone in his hand was a microphone and he was the host on a game show of sorts. I was on guard because of his "spontaneity." The male walked to the front of the bus and started talking to the bus driver for about 4 minutes. After telling the young man to sit down numerous times the bus driver got fed up and he started to yell at the young man. After trying to apologize and state many times, "I'm sorry, I have a mental illness" the young man was subjected to verbal abuse from the bus driver. I witnessed quite a few threats by the bus driver before I had a chance to take out the iPhone and get this video. The bus number was 6671.

but college and university are both worthless, like seriously. there was a time where college and university was done for a very limited and specific job usually relating to engineering and medicine. nowadays they have a degree in everything. why can't they just go back to the days where you could have just about any job without a degree if you were skilled enough? since when has a piece of paper determined your worth? kicking him out would be the least of my worries.

[ultradumbass]

no he's right. (by the way i know you're a bus driver.)

the bus driver is rich anyway which i find surprising since being a bus driver is an easy job. as a bus driver you get 100,000+ a year, plus benefits, vacation and overtime. as a bus driver you can show up late or not at all and as a bus driver you can treat people like garbage such as not opening the door for passengers and driving off on them just to boost your power ego.

so i wouldn't worry too much for him.

bus drivers are retarded and they are paid more than they deserve. this incident happened in ottawa and in ottawa an average person makes 50-60,000 a year. however a BUS driver gets on average 100,000 a year plus they get vacation time plus overtime so some easily make 2-3 times more than an ordinary hard working person and yet back a few years ago they went on strike claiming THEY are not being paid enough!

Ottawa was historically a hick town. The non-immigrant population that was around for many generations are fuckin' retarded hicks.

There are a lot of mentally ill people in this city probably because it's a hick tradition to sniff glue or some retarded shit like that. Likewise there are a lot of ignorant intolerant assholes like this driver who don't know any better than act aggressive toward the mentally ill because they were brought up in a hick town with a hick education system.

you know what man, im getting really angry with all this nonsense and would appreciate some discretion for once. i mean what did i ever do to you? this was not staged. this 100% real and if people looked into this well enough the bus driver had it so rough that he was about to snap at anyone who gave him a dirty look.
