As the mass of people exited the Purple Line (which is underground) this morning we sprinted as usual up the steps to the street level. This time the bus was already at the stop closing its doors after letting people on. The stop as you can see is at the corner of the intersection. Now, if the light is green, the bus is going to go and the people who were not at the stop can understand the driver not waiting to let them on. But, if the light is red and the bus ain't going no where, then we expect that door to fucking re-open and let us on. This driver decided to fight the system. She was not re-opening the door, and she was greeted by some pissed off people, me included, who were starring at her from the outside while she sat defiant for 5 minutes for the duration of the red light. I took a picture of this individual, who proceeded to take things one step further and pound on the door (with his dry cleaning in hand) and call the driver a "stupid fucking wetback". Meanwhile he had the support of a mob of old Mexicans standing behind him too scared to take it to that level. Until, of course, the wetback comment presented itself.
