@switchinlanes2022: Nine Men Surrounded My Bus... Here's What Happened (Part 3) Everytime I tell this story, I always leave bits and pieces out, so I figured I'd a video explaining what all happened. Six years into my 12-year career as an LACMTA bus operator out of Division 7, I experienced one of the most intense situations of my entire career. What started as a routine trip on Line 35 quickly turned into a dangerous standoff involving multiple people, a knife, and a packed bus full of passengers. That day changed the way I looked at driving public transit and became one of the first moments that made me realize I couldn't do this job forever. This is the story of what happened. #publictransportation #la #publictransit #busdriver #lacmta
This was a great story. I’m just sorry that it was a reality for you but being a transit operator myself I was out of division 13 and now I’m with Santa Monica big blue so doing the job and hearing the story it gets different because I can almost visualize exactly what you would have been thinking and the filling in the moment I think as bus drivers we all have crazy stories that I think a lot of people wouldn’t believe that we go through I’m only 28 years old with a combined three years of experience behind the wheel and I myself know this is not going to be my final career I just don’t see myself doing it so thank you for sharing your story.

I can't believe that happened to you, on my line. Everything you did, was the right thing to do. I have retired, but low key I miss it. The job, not the drama! 😊😊😊

I liked the 35/38 but there definitely was an underlying feeling out there that shit could go sideways, especially on the 38 side
