More Abuse on The CTA
Yet one more CTA bus driver is said to be accused of being verbally abusive, even threatening to riders.
About three or four weeks ago, riders on bus# 6850 (81W) Lawrence state that they boarded at the Cumberland Blue Line station, and were shocked when the driver passed up two stops when a rightly irate rider made it known in little more than a firm voice that he and his companion wanted off because the driver passed up their stop.
The driver pulled over to let them off, and while the riders were exiting the bus....at least seven riders witnessed the driver with arm# 2540 swear at and verbally threaten the riders with bodily harm while using racial slurs.
One passenger says, "I avoid taking this bus after work because the driver scares me. I think he has a mental problem or something because i've watched him burp out loud like a pig, and have seen him swing like a banshee through the bus on the overhead handrails. " "He's really weird".
Other riders stated that they also have heard and seen "very worrying behavior" from this driver many times. One rider stated that among the last people to exit the bus well into Harwood Heights was someone who the driver told "People just like to start trouble with me" and the rider stated while exiting "Maybe it has something to do with your behavior" the driver replied "Ya think so?".
Maybe this driver will be investigated and terminated....it appears that he should seek serious, intensive, help!
