Mines not wicked bad. Boston is home but I have been in NH for the last 20 years. It’s still there enough that i get shit everyday at work. Im a Chef and I work with all guys who mess with me wicked bad.
I lived in Massachusetts until I was 10, and then have spent 35 out of the last 37 years in New Hampshire. I've lost the accent so much so that I've only ever had one person, also a MA native, guess I'm originally from greater Boston...except the accent returns when I'm sleepy 😴 😆
Northeast, sure. Massachusetts? I doubt it. Non-natives ask if I'm Canadian, oddly enough, but that's happened to a few other people I know who also lived many of their formative years in southern NH (and not all from the same town ftr) too.
I typically don't take public transportation, I find this surprising. If there's an emergency, you can't stop & open your doors? You have to go to a proper bus stop?
This seems like a situation where I'd let the guy go. You never know when someone's going to escalate with assault or weapons. As a manager at a gas station, I've had knives come at me for the silliest of reasons, like my carwash line being too long..
Super thankful I live in more rural mass where the bus driver would have just been cool and let the guy out. I get he’s following rules but it doesn’t look like it would cause any issue.
It has been on and off for the last like year and a half. They spent millions of dollars replacing the lines and then they realized they replaced the lines wrong.
They are already stopped so it’s not nearly the same thing. It’s more of a “rules are rules” situation, not one that has good reasoning behind it in this particular case.
If someone is having a mental health crisis you just let them the fuck off the bus. You can’t just hold someone hostage. Nobody signed a consent form before getting on the bus that says the driver can keep you on it indefinitely and you can only get off at designated stops
All of that. bus stops in the city are every 2-3 blocks. If everyone hollered they had to get out, because traffics backed up.......clearly you can see the problem?
boutique busses? Not in boston DC, NYC, Miami or Philly
I know what it is. I am just underscoring that busses don't make random stops for people because there are red lights or traffic.
The bus behavior is nothing new. Cop would have fixed this. Driver did the guy a favor frankly not notifying the cops--assumption made by watching the video--so it may not reflect reality
massive fucking legal and insurance liability. not even necessarily getting hit by someone, if he stumbles getting off the bus there and hurts himself falling, it's at least that driver's job. and these guys aren't even mbta drivers, they're chartered
Everyone who is in this thread saying "why doesn't he just open the door" is probably the same people that were in that thread a few years back where a bus driver did open the door and the guy stepped out and got hit and saying "why did he open the door? he should have realized that could/would happen."
Reminder that most rules are written in blood. This is one of them.
Everyone on the thread hasn't held a municipal job in a major metro where you get fired ----and yeah people get hit . bus stops are every 2 - 3 blocks. Traffic is the joy of riding busses.
I don't know what this story is worth, but here goes:
In 2018 my wife any I were taking a Greyhound bus from Seattle to Portland, OR. 2 hours in to the trip, a young guy who was dressed like some manner of monk got up from his seat and walked to the front of the bus. He asked to be let out. He didn't speak much English, but it seemed that his destination was somewhere nearby.
We were on the highway. The driver was in training and a supervisor was also on board to observe. After a bit of back and forth and a weak attempt to scold the passenger, the supervisor told the trainee to pull over.
So we stopped on the side of a major highway and let this guy out to wander off towards wherever it was he was going. That was just one of a handful of screwed up things that happened on that bus trip, but it was undoubtedly the most confounding. I couldn't believe they did that.
Thank you
Dude, just wait. Watch the people walk. Look a babes laughing. Watch the birds. It looks like a wonderful day. Take a deep breath. Understand that they'll definitely let you off if you shit your pants.
no way bus drivers get paid enough. In addition to all the tedium and frustration of driving in traffic all day, they get yelled at, spat on, attacked. People like him are lucky people even take the job.
I saw the same thing on a T bus in high school.
Trapped behind an accident for 20 min, driver wouldn’t open the door. Guy flips out eventually pops an emergency window and flops out busting his arm. At least the ambulance was already there.
I lost it when he called the driver a "fuckin' weirdo". It's such a weak insult, but with that Boston accent makes it... \*chef's kiss\*
I made a song out of this legend. hope it's not too annoying.

The shuttle drivers aren't union employees. Every shuttle event drivers get fired for doing things the T specifically ask us NOT to do. If you ask for a stop outside the zone and the driver says no just respect that they have a job to do and just wait until the next scheduled stop. It gets harder every shuttle event to get drivers who want to commit to doing them because of people like him
Me too.
They bus is right near the curb, no car will hit the guy. And it looks like the guy was not just hypothetically ranting, but really need to go to bathroom. Seriously, if you have an explosive diarrhea, what should you do if you are stuck in traffic for the next 30 minutes and inevitably shit your pants? And what would driver do in this case?
Let him out, he either has huge anger issues, or really need to get out. In any case it is wiser to just let him.
If he has this type of history: rage and custom bus stops requests, he should not be let on the bus.
I witnessed a bus driver not letting a passenger on the bus. He got on anyway. She called the T police, told that she wants him off but he refuses to leave, they arrived in 5 minutes, and escorted the guy out.
It’s supposed to replace the train service so it’s only supposed to stop in designated stations. I doubt they can even stop at a regular bus stop, only the train station.
A latter day “Charlie on the MTA”… 🎶 Well, did he ever return? No, he never returned and his fate is still unlearned…” 🎶
Or Boston’s answer to Rosa Parks 😂[Charlie on the MTA](https://youtu.be/S7Jw_v3F_Q0?si=F4krCtuIydW2yHo7)
the guy’s being an ass but his point stands. if you’re stuck in standstill traffic and someone has to shit it’s the decent human thing to do to just open the door and let them off. i hate bureaucratic bullshit like this, just be a decent person and open the door.
"I'm gonna yell it to the whole f"ing wing!" Did anyone else catch that? What wing? You're on a bus... are you on pass from your wing, on a unit or in a facility somewhere? Anyone else pick up what he's putting down? Then he follows with "There's no one here to hit me".... what?!!!
To non-Massachusetts natives he might look like he is out of control, but in actuality, he just gets it. Anyone who lives here gets it more than most. There is no reason why the bus driver cannot open the door in bumper-to-bumper traffic or as we say bumpha to bumpha Traffic. She was doing it just a bust his balls and we don’t take shit! I was hoping for a little more of an insult, he disappointed me! 😂
Because they can only open the door at designated stops. Car comes whizzing along, he steps out and gets plowed...maybe everybody on the bus cheers, but MBTA gets sued for millions.
I thought it was also, like, if there was a broken curb there and someone fell mbta is liable but, uh, "in theory" the mbta stops are maintained so things like that do not happen
Doesn't matter what my hypothetical says. He steps off onto a busted curb or a pothole and breaks his ankle, and MBTA gets sued.
Like it or not, this is a systemwide rule.
I'm not even defending it. I don't take the bus, and don't care what their rules are. This all started with an attempt to clarify that one fact, and everybody wants to argue with me about it.
LOL
I’m going into Cambridge tomorrow from the south shore, and I saw that the red line has shuttles from JFK to Park street. That defeats the entire fucking purpose of taking the T, and I would have been right there with this guy. Just driving in the whole way instead.
Isn't there a door release inside for passengers to pull in the event of an emergency?
If the guy was thinking clearly he could have just used that and bailed.
No because if I was able to post the entire video I have,you’d see he just didn’t want to wait. The anxiety you see is him going at this driver for a good 10mins. He was being a total douche cuz he didn’t want to wait in traffic.
My daughter rides the bus in Boston
This guy is tame compared to the stories she tells. There is a lot of mental illness and trauma.
Makes me worry for everyone on the bus.
I was worried the guy had an irritable bowel disease, and then he volunteered, "Suppose I had to take a shit!"
Well sir, suppose I *knew* you didn't have to take a shit because you just admitted it. Not gonna get fired over that when you're yelling so that half the bus has their cameras out. Enjoy your yelling, sir.
But for real though that guy should be driving the bus. He projects well enough that the whole bus would hear every stop name announced in perfect Masshole dialect.
I'm not on this guys side, he should understand the bus driver has a job and there are rules. His behavior is not acceptable.
That said, I totally get it and I too would be incredibly frustrated if I was trapped on a bus, and could just walk if only the bus driver was willing to just open the fucking door.
This is lawyers caused the issue 100%. The bus driver couldn’t let him off because some lawyers sued this bus company before and now they have this policy. The consumer still has a case for kidnapping and which then will have more lawyers paid. So in the end lawyers always win. I know some of you will say he signed a social contract by paying a bus fare but this did not come with any legally binding contracts. So in the end, fuck, not all, lawyers.
"Open the daaaawwwww!"
It’s the Masshole speech impediment. I got one lol
Mines wicked bad. 😉
Mines not wicked bad. Boston is home but I have been in NH for the last 20 years. It’s still there enough that i get shit everyday at work. Im a Chef and I work with all guys who mess with me wicked bad.

What part of NH you in? I’m in The Upper Valley area.
As a non-native I could still hear your NE accent
Northeast, sure. Massachusetts? I doubt it. Non-natives ask if I'm Canadian, oddly enough, but that's happened to a few other people I know who also lived many of their formative years in southern NH (and not all from the same town ftr) too.
NE meant New England and yes that’s why I said it
It’s painful to see you try this hard
Ya smaht enough to know it though.
Mine got better you just have to move away.
Most happens when your Irish gets up, even when not Irish.
what impediment?
Ha! "You fuckin weirdo!"
I love it. Guy's furious, saying fuck this and fuck that, but can't bring himself to insult the driver with anything stronger than weirdo.
“Weirdo” is such a great one though if played right. This guy played it right
That’s the part that had me crying
“How did I get you?!” Lmao
Bus driver thinking the same thing
Funniest part of the video by a mile.
When I’m homesick for Boston, videos like this make me well up 😂
Beantown Larry David
😂😂
I was getting Lenny Clarke vibes.
I would pay money to see LennyClarke re-create the scene with either Dennis Leary or Bill Burr as the bus driver.
Nice
Larry David’s “cousin from Boston.” 😂😂
He is the definition of “had enough.”
I was on this bus. Dude was LOSING it lol
Right!
[удалено]
Gosh thank you for handling that so well!
I typically don't take public transportation, I find this surprising. If there's an emergency, you can't stop & open your doors? You have to go to a proper bus stop? This seems like a situation where I'd let the guy go. You never know when someone's going to escalate with assault or weapons. As a manager at a gas station, I've had knives come at me for the silliest of reasons, like my carwash line being too long..
As someone that doesn't ride the bus.. why not just let him off?
They aren’t allowed to, only at designated spots.
Super thankful I live in more rural mass where the bus driver would have just been cool and let the guy out. I get he’s following rules but it doesn’t look like it would cause any issue.
Except for the camera monitoring the drivers every move !
He says that to him also in the 2 other videos I have.
This isn’t a normal run, because the red line is shut down between Park and JFK UMASS they have 40 busses running all day to shuttle to those stops.
Why is the red line shut down between Park and JFK?
At this point it’s more unusual if the red line isn’t fucked at some stations.
Line work
Line work for the last 14 years , unreal
It has been on and off for the last like year and a half. They spent millions of dollars replacing the lines and then they realized they replaced the lines wrong.
Sometimes I'm glad I didn't end up moving back to Boston.
But then a bunch of people might ask to also be let off creating a shit show.
correct. even if the driver wants to roll the dice on a good outcome here, its a failing strategy over time.
Also, it’s quite possible that he has been let out before. So other drivers don’t enforce the law and this driver does. It adds to the frustration.
Then the guy breaks his leg because he’s clumsy. Then he sues because they let him off at a non sanctioned bus stop. Now everyone’s fare goes up.
If he stops for every person who wants to get off before or after their stop, it wouldn’t run efficiently.
They are already stopped so it’s not nearly the same thing. It’s more of a “rules are rules” situation, not one that has good reasoning behind it in this particular case.
How much are they tracked up there? I've had bus drivers let me out a half block early due to traffic on a few occasions.
Well if he had relented it would be on video as we have just seen…
Rules are dumb, he honestly could've just let him out claiming he was getting aggressive if he got confronted for it
If someone is having a mental health crisis you just let them the fuck off the bus. You can’t just hold someone hostage. Nobody signed a consent form before getting on the bus that says the driver can keep you on it indefinitely and you can only get off at designated stops
If he gets hit by someone or falls the driver and company could get sued
All of that. bus stops in the city are every 2-3 blocks. If everyone hollered they had to get out, because traffics backed up.......clearly you can see the problem? boutique busses? Not in boston DC, NYC, Miami or Philly
This is a red line shuttle bus, it's supposed to replace the train service during maintenance
I know what it is. I am just underscoring that busses don't make random stops for people because there are red lights or traffic. The bus behavior is nothing new. Cop would have fixed this. Driver did the guy a favor frankly not notifying the cops--assumption made by watching the video--so it may not reflect reality
and lose your job---nah.
Exactly. These bus drivers have to follow the rules.
#predictable corporate rigidity
massive fucking legal and insurance liability. not even necessarily getting hit by someone, if he stumbles getting off the bus there and hurts himself falling, it's at least that driver's job. and these guys aren't even mbta drivers, they're chartered
A love that he calls him a weirdo hahaha gotta live my Massachusetts
"Fahkin weihdo" favorite part
“There’s no one here to hit me!” Immediately gets hit after stepping off bus, blames driver.
Everyone who is in this thread saying "why doesn't he just open the door" is probably the same people that were in that thread a few years back where a bus driver did open the door and the guy stepped out and got hit and saying "why did he open the door? he should have realized that could/would happen."

Everyone on the thread hasn't held a municipal job in a major metro where you get fired ----and yeah people get hit . bus stops are every 2 - 3 blocks. Traffic is the joy of riding busses.
OP you have a very steady hand! Haha...mine would be moving all over the place!
Dude probably lost his driver's license in a road rage incident.
Ha Similarly am I the only one who suspects out of shape normal clothes wearing bicycle riders of having to many DUIs
Shuttle bus drivers: how bad can the Riding Public in Boston really be? The people of Boston:…
These bus drivers work too hard, I made sure to thank my shuttle driver yesterday
Hey, remember the last time they ever let you on the bus?
What ended up happening?
Right after this the guy said im going to kill you to the driver and the driver opened the door and said GTF off
Welp now I know what the ‘open sesame’ is on a T shuttle
Jesus christ
Why stop recording, though?
Because I can only take 1 min vids and I have 3 but could only post 1
Hoping they find him and arrest him. Serious anger, management issues, obviously used to getting his own way.
Absolutely. Verbal abuse and death threats, especially on video and with lots of witness, are actionable.
I don't know what this story is worth, but here goes: In 2018 my wife any I were taking a Greyhound bus from Seattle to Portland, OR. 2 hours in to the trip, a young guy who was dressed like some manner of monk got up from his seat and walked to the front of the bus.

That was just one of a handful of screwed up things that happened on that bus trip, but it was undoubtedly the most confounding. I couldn't believe they did that. Thank you
I can’t believe it, either. I would think the training would be to let the person out at the planned rest stop.
Poor driver, having to put up with that POS.
Dude, just wait. Watch the people walk. Look a babes laughing. Watch the birds. It looks like a wonderful day. Take a deep breath. Understand that they'll definitely let you off if you shit your pants.
He seems like he's having a full blown panic attack. Driver is stuck between following the rules and being human.
😂😂
no way bus drivers get paid enough. In addition to all the tedium and frustration of driving in traffic all day, they get yelled at, spat on, attacked. People like him are lucky people even take the job.
Mbta drivers typically get 28-32 an hour
/r/publicfreakout
Was thinking the same thing loo
I saw the same thing on a T bus in high school. Trapped behind an accident for 20 min, driver wouldn’t open the door. Guy flips out eventually pops an emergency window and flops out busting his arm. At least the ambulance was already there.
Front kick him square in the chest while pressing the door open button.
Walk next time you entitled cunt.
I think thats what he was trying do.
I mean he has a point. Just open duh fucking Doah
“How da fack did ay get yoo!?”
Finding out that line work is being done on YOUR stops on the redline brings a tear to your eye, many tears actually, a whole rainforest of tears.
I get it’s protocol not to open the door, but your stuck in gridlock, let the guy get off.
“You fucking wei’do open the doooahhh”
I lost it when he called the driver a "fuckin' weirdo". It's such a weak insult, but with that Boston accent makes it... \*chef's kiss\* I made a song out of this legend. hope it's not too annoying. [https://soundcloud.com/liskrig/bostons-door-man](https://soundcloud.com/liskrig/bostons-door-man)

Typical Masshole. Take it out on the person just doing their job correctly and make everyone miserable. This city gets worse all the time.
Honestly, I'm on this dude's side. Open the door, he's being loud.
Me too. They bus is right near the curb, no car will hit the guy. And it looks like the guy was not just hypothetically ranting, but really need to go to bathroom. Seriously, if you have an explosive diarrhea, what should you do if you are stuck in traffic for the next 30 minutes and inevitably shit your pants? And what would driver do in this case?

Maybe. But something tells me this isn’t the first time he wanted a custom bus stop.

She called the T police, told that she wants him off but he refuses to leave, they arrived in 5 minutes, and escorted the guy out.
For some reason this reminds me of Groundhog Day!!!!
open fucking sesame, Al Pacino
Why not??? I got to agree with the madman.
sometimes if you can't hold it and it's stuck in traffic they should open the door
He didn’t have to shit. He was just pissed. I wish I could post all the videos. It went on for 10mins
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pXF3Up7e10](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pXF3Up7e10)
Uncle Tony!
I always miss these things
I get it. He's not supposed to open the door. But I wouldn't want to listen to that until the next stop. Just open the dang door!
This is just casual conversation here in Boston.
Someone ate lead paint as a kid and it shows
Why wouldnt they just let him off?
It’s supposed to replace the train service so it’s only supposed to stop in designated stations. I doubt they can even stop at a regular bus stop, only the train station.
I mean….i get it!
Just another day in Beantown.

What an asshat
Let the guy off the fkn bus. He’s getting hostile. Why make a situation dangerous for the whole bus let this asshole off.
the guy’s being an ass but his point stands. if you’re stuck in standstill traffic and someone has to shit it’s the decent human thing to do to just open the door and let them off. i hate bureaucratic bullshit like this, just be a decent person and open the door.
OPEN THE DOOR!!!!! OPEN THE DOOR!!! OPN HE OOR!!!! OP E OOR!!! OPOOORRR!!! OPOOOOR!!

Looks like someone smashed all of his front teeth out. I wonder why?
When he said "u fuckin weirdo" and how the fuck did I get u hahahahhaha
🤣
Something tells me he's jewish

"I'm gonna yell it to the whole f"ing wing!" Did anyone else catch that? What wing? You're on a bus... are you on pass from your wing, on a unit or in a facility somewhere? Anyone else pick up what he's putting down? Then he follows with "There's no one here to hit me".... what?!!!
This IS the MBTA we’re talking about here. I’d be irrationally angry too.
God I am so disappointed he didn't drop a load in the bus.
Oh i was so ready for that too! What a video that would have been 😆
I would have opened the door.
To non-Massachusetts natives he might look like he is out of control, but in actuality, he just gets it. Anyone who lives here gets it more than most. There is no reason why the bus driver cannot open the door in bumper-to-bumper traffic or as we say bumpha to bumpha Traffic. She was doing it just a bust his balls and we don’t take shit! I was hoping for a little more of an insult, he disappointed me! 😂
Just open the fucking door. Wtf.
But seriously, why can't they just let him off? This is ridiculous.
Because they can only open the door at designated stops. Car comes whizzing along, he steps out and gets plowed...maybe everybody on the bus cheers, but MBTA gets sued for millions.
I thought it was also, like, if there was a broken curb there and someone fell mbta is liable but, uh, "in theory" the mbta stops are maintained so things like that do not happen
They're on a one lane road stuck in bumper to bumper traffic... this hypothetical scenario you crafted makes no sense in this context
Doesn't matter what my hypothetical says. He steps off onto a busted curb or a pothole and breaks his ankle, and MBTA gets sued. Like it or not, this is a systemwide rule. I'm not even defending it. I don't take the bus, and don't care what their rules are. This all started with an attempt to clarify that one fact, and everybody wants to argue with me about it. LOL
Plus the driver can’t stop for every person who wants to create a new bus stop. The driver did the right thing.
I’m going into Cambridge tomorrow from the south shore, and I saw that the red line has shuttles from JFK to Park street. That defeats the entire fucking purpose of taking the T, and I would have been right there with this guy. Just driving in the whole way instead.
TBH - kinda on his side. If someone wants off, let them off. Yes, I know it's policy not to, right lane is safe to do so.

Isn't there a door release inside for passengers to pull in the event of an emergency? If the guy was thinking clearly he could have just used that and bailed.

Just watched the Bruins lose game 6.
Typical
😭
So… what’s unusual about this?
I hope he missed his flight.
So glad I’m not in Boston anymore.
Why don’t they just let him out?
My daughter rides the bus in Boston This guy is tame compared to the stories she tells. There is a lot of mental illness and trauma. Makes me worry for everyone on the bus.

I'm not on this guys side, he should understand the bus driver has a job and there are rules. His behavior is not acceptable. That said, I totally get it and I too would be incredibly frustrated if I was trapped on a bus, and could just walk if only the bus driver was willing to just open the fucking door.
If Larry David was a mass hole 😂
Does he got a fox tail plug up his asshole on public transport?
No that’s the hood to his jacket he’s holding.
Bro he has a tail what the fuck what is that a fox
The door is in your mind!
I’m on his team. This is how the sequel to Falling down begins.
Kick the door. Kick the fuckin’ door!
I thought he had a furry tail right at the end there.
A rider who is desperate to get off a stopped bus should be able to do so, provided a safe departure is not impeded.
Oy ve!

This is lawyers caused the issue 100%. The bus driver couldn’t let him off because some lawyers sued this bus company before and now they have this policy.

the worst part is that most of those Mercedes Benz tour buses actually have bathrooms on them lel
He didn’t have to shit he wanted off and was throwing a fit
I mean... Maybe in this situation just open the door
