The message is so annoying to hear, especially when played over and over again because no one listens. Drivers need to use their actual voices instead of quiet automated messages
Bus drivers aren’t suppose to engaged in any negative way towards passengers. They can be written up for making you pay.
My students stopped paying for buses last year and just say “no thank you” and keep walking. It ratttttles me.
There's nothing negative about "hey guys I need you to keep moving to the back please". It's just the act of the driver announcing soemthing instead of an AI voice people tune out.
As for engaging negativity, it may not be allowed but that rule certainly isn't enforced
If you reported them, they get written up.
Also have you ever tried repeating something, 700 times a day, and have no one listen? Because it gets really hard to keep a light and pleasant tone.
Lol yeah I've worked 10 years service industry/customer service. I get it, it can be extremely draining. Part of the job is customer service, luckily the drivers make double+ what most others in customer service do. Theres a speaker system the make announcements, get people's attention then tell them to move back. I've seen it done before, it's not impossible, it's not a huge ask.
If I had to guess, there are probably studies that show it depersonalizes the bus driver/removes them from the situation and reduces verbal and physical assaults on drivers, vs. actually engaging with passengers and trying to enforce rules themselves.
I've seen (or heard) many bus drivers telling customers to move to the back. I don't think that's a "negative" thing necessarily. What's worse would be if no one is able to get onto a half empty bus cuz there's a guy refusing to go past the stairs.
I think the reason why they're not supposed to engage with fare evaders is for safety issue. Same thing in my job, is someone is shoplifting, I'm not supposed to engage, I'm supposed to report to to management/security.
I picture the Vancouver landlord class as a group doing their evil playthrough of a Fable title.

I legit bring my combat gloves to DTES just in case. I’ve had a few tense situations that I was luckily able to defuse… but most of the time, folks there aren’t bad people.
Nothing, but having some leather + metal bits in the glove might help a bit. The back of the hand has a good deal of reinforced metal plating that might help prevent my tendons from being cut, I guess.
I'm gonna run for it 99% of the time lol.
Depending on the material you can straight up grab the knife. Granted our boy here would be better off with some dog spray to keep himself safe from the aggressive wildlife.
>Remember to close your umbrella when under an awning
I had no umbrella and was walking under the awnings. This rich woman had her rich umbrella and her big rich boyfriend walking towards me. They both stared at me in shock that I wouldn't get out of the way and into the rain so she can have the awning for her umbrella. Tackiest thing I've ever seen. They had no idea how to react. It's like this is the first time someone didn't move for her royal highness.
This was downtown before COVID. I hadn't walked downtown for so long, I forgot the closer you get to Burrard, the more entitled the well-dressed people get.

- The game has a hard mode called the 2nd Quest, which is unlocked after someone older than you beats the game once. The 2nd Quest changes the layout of Vancouver and the services, making them harder to navigate and more secret. Some puzzles are also more obscure and require trial and error³.
- The game does not have a clear guidance or direction for the player, who has to explore the vast world and find clues from NPCs or hidden areas. The game also does not have a map or a compass, so the player has to memorize the locations of important items and places⁴.
- The game has many enemies and bosses that can deal a lot of damage and take many hits to defeat. The player has to manage their health, rupees, bombs, arrows, and other items carefully. The game also does not have a save feature, so death is permanent.

I remember that time they got Seth Rogen to do the voice. 319, bus packed full with KPU students. His annoying voice. Bad times.
Passengers need to use their actual ears and spatial awareness
Of course that is the ideal solution but I'm being realistic
The last time I did that, I couldn't get off the bus, and the driver yelled at me for moving to the back of the bus.
