BC Transit complaint: Road rage bus driver

Open 125 views Public Transport

Filed 25 Oct 2022 by Shaney

At approximately 7:30 PM October the 24th, bus 27 pinned me behind my apartment entry exit drive way.
I was proceeding to exit my complex, and to do so, I need to pull out slightly to see the on coming traffic due to vehicles parked on the street.
I stopped as I noticed headlights coming my way and I backed up a bit to make room in case they were trying to turn into my complex. It turned out to be the bus. Number 27. He pulled right infront of my vehicle and stopped, opened his doors and yelled at me. He would not move and blocked me and the entrance way to 1573 begbie street. I tried to explain that I have to pull out a little bit to see oncoming traffic, at the same time people at the bus stop had to walk from the bus stop down the road to get on the bus because he was trying so hard to punish me for pulling out slightly to see oncoming traffic. People on the bus were calling him rude and that this was absolutely uncalled for and other profanities. Some of the people that got off the bus called him profanities also and told him move and to stop being such a . He scared my child by not allowing us to move and proceeded to stay parked infront of my vehicle pinning me there, unable to move.
When he finally shut the doors and started to drive the bus he then braked and made sudden stops while I was behind him trying to agitate the situation further. I was going slow so that I would not bump into the bus as he would make these sudden stops infront of me. I pulled over to the right to avoid this driver and hoped he would just move on which he eventually did. However, it left my child extremely scared and upset, myself and many passengers as well. I had one passenger approach me at my car to see if we were ok and she too said this was completely unacceptable behavior from a bus driver.
I feel that this needs to be addressed to avoid future situations with this type of behavior and his mis conduct with public safety.
