It just happened today, around midday. Waiting in a bus stop. Another woman was waiting as well, for the same bus. Exceptionally cold, windy day. The bus came in time - we waved, and the bus simply rushed by! Deliberately, without hesitation. The driver would have plenty of time and distance to stop. Shocking. I felt that we are invisible, two older ladies, for this bus driver. Not every driver is like this, drivers usually stop at the bus stop...their job is to pick up passengers and take them to the stop they want to get off the bus. Many drivers are polite, caring. Some of them not, but they do stop at the bust stops. Usually. Does this happened to you or something similar? What if we were two young, beautiful women? Would the driver stop? What do you think? |
