I sometimes take the train to work, but on occasion I take the bus cause if I can catch it in time it's faster and cheaper. So the one day that I decide to take the bus I find myself in traffic at a major intersection. Summer is over so everyone is back to work and taking the major roads. Traffic makes sense. What doesn't make sense is people who think that they have the right to hold up traffic getting onto the bus and making it late for everyone to get to work. Let me explain:
The major intersection has a bus stop on each road. My bus' bus stop is a couple of yards before the stop light and we end up stopping a couple of yards before getting to the bus stop. The people who asked to get off at the stop went ahead and got off, but two women waiting for the bus didn't come near the bus. They waited two minutes for the bus to come to them, took their time to get on the bus, and then made us miss the light. Not only did they make the people on the bus late to work, they made the people in the cars behind us late. Can we say selfish???
Handbook notes:
Pedestrians do have the right of way in terms of being up against vehicles, however pedestrians are asked to respect others on the road. Pedestrians must be aware of the flow of traffic and act accordingly to not disrupt it.
Be safe and look both ways.
