You're on the bus on the way home in the late evening after dark. There's a mom with a young child on the bus with you. The toddler has been screaming for the past half-hour constantly; and there's still another 15 minutes left in the ride. The continual noise is starting to wear on people. About then the bus driver has had enough. She pulls the bus over and kicks the mother and child off. According to her it's too distracting and she can't drive the bus safely. Some of the passengers are quite upset that she'd kick a mom and baby off the bus, after dark, in what isn't the nicest section of town and file complaints.
What do you think?
The bus driver is justified as she was trying to keep the commute home safe: | 3 (8.8%) | |
The mother should never have been kicked off the bus like that: | 23 (67.6%) | |
I have a different opinion then those two choices: | 3 (8.8%) | |
I don't have any opinions but I like to vote: | 5 (14.7%) | |
Total: | 34 |
Here's the linky; they are investigating the incident. As a parent with two young kids I'm in the mom's camp on this one.
Also a transcript of the bus driver's discussions with dispatch.
Where do you fall?
