This is especially true in a crowded situation such as public transit. This is why they like to support tyrannical bus drivers, who want to make rules to govern the passengers. Passengers seem to want to treat the other passenger like a criminal. Criminals may lurk in the back area of an RTS bus behind the wheelchair lift. Remember when a woman opened fire on the Santa Monica Blvd.
Transit can take criminals between low and high crime areas.
Passengers sometimes ring for a stop too soon, causing false stops. Once, someone in West Hollywood ran out the front of the bus, accidently jumping on my foot. They used to make sudden, dangerous stops. At least, they are showing up more. No more money for absence.
