I don't know what the requirements are for the Metro bus drivers, but one of them certainly is not patience.  Taxi Drivers, Limo Drivers, Crazy People in there Hummer, they are nothing.  Just being any where near the Metro on the road is scary.  I would rather ride next to a semi traveling 70 MPH down I-70. 

I realize the little Metro cop guy is riding around in his Tauras making sure you are on time and all that good stuff.  But last time I checked the drivers manual I didn't see any exclusions for bus drivers.

If you're a Metro Bus driver I'm not trying to offend you.  I am sure there are probably some of you that are very good at your job, but you're not on the roads that I travel.

Passing on shoulders, merging out of the parking lanes when the people are on or off the bus, as opposed to when traffic is clear.  Have your kids show you 3 different colors and educate you on which of them mean in the traffic world.  RED, GREEN, YELLOW!

p.s.  If you were riding your bike down Burlington this morning in the bike lane, I bet that bus scared the hell out of you.  The bus driver mis-interpreted the sign that says bike lane.
