So I arrive at Finch Station this morning at around 7:22am and the 42A bus has just pulled around the corner as our 36 was pulling into the station. The driver let us off and as soon as this other girl and I got off the 36 and walked up to the 42A it started to pull away. The first girl banged on the door as she was about to pull away and he stopped to open the door. I made a comment on the way in about how they’re supposed to stop at the station for a minimum of two minutes as I was passing the driver. He turned around and says “are you talking to me?” in from of the whole bus, pointing me out. “He continued to bait me saying, I’m supposed to be here for 7:22am, you want to check the time up here?” to which I responded, “it’s 7:22am now, you should be staying here for another two minutes to let other patrons on.”
After he continued to say he “doesn’t go by my watch but his, and he’s on time.” I told him I was done and he continues to call me out on the bus while not leaving the station like he said he had to. I told him if that’s the case you’re now wasting everyone’s time by not driving out of the station. Instead of being civil and respectful to his customers and patrons, he decided to start a confrontation instead. They charge us $3 per ride, transfers are not valid both ways and they’ve taken the idea of an LRT away from Finch Ave but will send 3 and 4 busses back to back instead of sending them as per schedule.
