Keep your arm inside
The worst thing about riding the 50 down University at rush hour is the Snelling intersection (although right now the construction by the University campus is giving it a run for it’s money). As we were waiting through the 3rd light change, our bus driver decided she wasn’t going to have any more of it saying “Oh hell no, we gotta get through this light!”
So she wedges her way into the left lane to avoid the jackasses that get stuck in the intersection blocking the right lane of traffic and by an act of god we make it through the light! As we’re trying to get back into the right lane to pull over at the Snelling stop, the guy in front of me has his right arm out the window waving it up and down.
Immediately the driver says into the microphone “Keep your arms inside! What do you think you’re doing?!?! I can see EVERYTHING on this bus…your arms, your shoes, the guy running up to catch the bus…EVERYTHING…this is MY bus!” The guy quickly pulls his arm back in and says “Oh I was just trying to help you signal for the lane change.”

I got yelled at by the driver for just having the tip of my little pinky hanging out the window. So watch it!! Because some of these drivers can be really fussy fuckers.terry

They follow this rule so closely due to the fact that a kid was decapitated a year or so ago on a bus because his head was sticking out of the vent on top. Granted it was a school bus, but this kind of horror story gets around to bus drivers.
