"I am one of the few white male bus drivers MUNI has. I like to celebrate this fact by taking my anger out on the passengers. I do this by slamming on the brakes as hard as I can mid block when the riders least expect it. Sometimes they get hurt and ask to be let off. I drive an extra block to show them who's boss. Sometimes if I'm drunk I go two extra blocks."

The glasses on a string are by far the best part.

Greatest celebrity sighting ever. Fie upon those who criticize Vawanda. She fought off a crazy dude while driving a bus! And look at those glasses on a string. This lady is an American HERO.

"As a driver I have to put up with a lot. The other day there was some white woman trying to ask me where fisherman's wharf is... we were already there. So I told her to get on board, pay her $1.50 and that I'd tell her to get off when she had arrived. I dropped her sorry ass off in the castro and laughed all the way back to the wharf. I'm sure she got there on her own... somehow. " "MUNI pays more than welfare, which is why I took this job. I can sit on my butt at home listening to my ipod, or I can sit on a MUNI subway train listening to my ipod. It's an easy decision once you factor in the money." "Sometimes when I hear the screams of a passenger trapped in the door as we're approaching the end of the station I listen extra hard so I can here the thump of his body hitting the wall. I hate when the passengers try to signal me in a panic though, it makes the thump harder to hear."
