This one was trying to hide her drinking. The next one will just pull the bottle out in front of everyone. A line has to be drawn. There are two points that should be made. First, from the front of the bus the driver often can't tell what's going on back there. If some one, for instance, is playing loud music it is often impossible to tell who it is. If passengers don't want to be subjected to this noise they need to take the initiative and let the driver know who it is. Second, Metro Transit management has hamstrung drivers when it comes to keeping order on the bus. Drivers aren't supposed to do anything except warn a misbehaving passenger once. The only reason there is not chaos and bloodshed on the buses is that certain drivers have drawn that line I mentioned and won't stand for bad behavior. First, however, they must know about the bad behavior in order to put a stop to it. So, yes, you were right to tell the driver. No, you shouldn’t have let it go.
