Bus driving scum

So Brandon and I use public transportation for everywhere that we go in our city. A bus ride costs 1 rmb (14 cents) where as taxis might cost 14 rmb ($2.00) to get across town – so f that!!!
I pretty much consider Chinese bus drivers to be my worst enemy. I hate them sooooo, so much!! Why?

1)They talk (which means yell) on their cell phones or text message while smoking a cigarette when they’re driving. So, their driving is beyond erratic – even for china.

2) Break times. FUCKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Drivers just pull over any time they want! Sometimes they pull over to just buy a pack of cigarettes and other times they pull over to order a meal from a restaurant. AND THE PEOPLE IN THE BUSS JUST HAVE TO WAIT FOR THEM!!! What’s worse, bus drivers are allowed to take a two hour lunch break (all Chinese people take two hour lunch breaks, btw) ANYTIME between 11:00am and 2:30pm. SOOO, that means that at some point, the driver may just pull over and stop FOR TWO FUCKING HOURS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOD DAMN IT!!!!! WTF?!?! ……deep breath…… Brandon and I learned the hard way that we can’t ride the bus between those hours.

3) Sometimes they bring their own radios on the bus and turn on Chinese music or talk radio SUPER LOUD – you have no idea the torture this causes

4) Portland Trimet drivers stop at every stop that they see people – Chinese drivers stop at every stop that they feel like stopping at. In order to get a bus to stop, you have to wave your arms in the air – they don’t just automatically stop. Half the time, even if there are 12 people at the stop wildly waving their arms in the air, the driver just won’t stop. WHY??????????????????????????
