Crazy Karen’s On Public Transit | Bus Driver Reacts | How We Deal With It!

[@RyanValizan]

I wonder if people that think drivers have it so easy even have a general concept of what transit life is like. The fact there’s even a sign in your face as you get on the bus saying, “it’s a federal crime to touch or spit on a driver” is pretty telling to what “bus driver life” is really like.

[@tomthumb3500]

That clip from Dublin is absolutely appalling. It’s my home town and it really saddens me. As the other blond girl say is discussing.

[@PurplePinkRed]

I'm not a bus driver (yet), but working in customer service for many years, asking them to leave before you call the cops works 90% of the time. The other 10%, I call the cops right in front of them and they leave 🤣 Very rarely do they want police involved because they know that their actions will have real consequences!

[@BusDriverLife]

That true!! I’ve had so many trouble passengers act right once they see me on the radio.

[@omakis965]

Great vids. I’m thinking about taking the plunge. I’m tired of delivering packages. Just don’t wanna make a mistake in changing careers.

[@BusDriverLife]

I see..well you will definitely deal with a lot more people directly. That is an interesting decision you have to make. I’d say maybe..ride a couple of bus routes during the busy times of the day and observe. Then of course compare pay and benefits. I appreciate you watching the videos!!

[@rumblinalong]

Oh my goodness 🤣😅🤣😅🤣😅🤣😅🤣.COMEDY. I have said in the past if you're struggling with your stand up COMEDY routine, then drive transit and the material will just walk right up to you.

[@alhi6240]

Pot smoking passengers are mostly chill... alcohol abusers are often the cause of rage. Driver deescalation attempts are largely futile. Inform the “Karen” of imminent police arrival, that may lead to their voluntary exit. Keep the vids coming!

[@rosekiller123]

Pot smells, good? 🤷‍♂️, but oh so bad lol

[@justasquirrelwithaguitar7980]

I think the Karens will get even madder if they get the cops called on them

[@RyanValizan]

@@rosekiller123weed smoker here, I can concur that I do not like smelling it all the time. Some days in kc now it can be almost nauseating how strong the aroma is. Spark up, though, my friends, we fought long and hard for that right, I’ll go a block over or slow back a few steps for better air.

[@mjchicagoland2314]

Have you seen this video of a passenger push a male teen Karen off the bus and said come on let's ride? This was in Chicago on a 2022 Novas, I want to see your reaction on that video.

[@GaryDavis-be9tm]

Yes I have seen it! I was happy for the driver!

[@petergoodwin2465]

Can't stop watching these videos Keywan, I wouldn't move the bus until that thing was off. No one should have to put up with a thing like that.

[@theresaandrade5708]

We have riders like that where I live. They live on the bus sometimes and just lie to get a free ride. It's really frustrating because it takes the peace out of your ride. Twice I found out neighbors will do this. It feels too much like stalking and it's disheartening to have to see people you don't want to be around all the time.

[@ctabusoperator5796]

I deal with some crazy female and male Karens every now and then but it's very rare on my bus routes.

[@tonyyang2084]

Lots of Karen’s here in Sacramento area too

[@erynd2524]

Theee was one woman who ran across the street against a red light and ended up falling on her ass after she tripped over the curb. Then she has the nerve to bang on the door and yell at the driver. Playing stupid games, win stupid prizes.

[@trevor8419]

The “get some help” cracks me up, every single time🤣

[@Mgameing123]

he should've also put in the stop it part!

[@catherinerichter8317]

Yes I'm in Australia and I've had a crazy Karen come at me (a minor at the time) on the bus and I live in Australia. I searched for this video so that I would know I'm not alone.

[@turtle19dad]

I'm a POS bus driver?..... and YOU'RE paying me. Thanks for the new house.

[@hollyvasquez2087]

I used to drive a route and the passengers that we had we would call them the suits. This was a route from downtown Burbank to the media studios on the other end of Burbank. These guys were horrible.

[@TawheedRahmanBengali]

Also congratulations on 820 subscribers well done Keep it up I am proud of you Keywan bro and Your hard work

[@BusDriverLife]

Thanks for your support!

[@AIvey]

I’m a bus driver in Canada 🇨🇦 and dealing with customer who think there in control I give them full control also reminds them You are hold up service not me and I will let other passenger know your one running the show. And it’s amazing when Police transit enforcement and supervisors Show up this passenger is so nice…….lol

[@AGentlemansJourney77]

I'm a driver to as well...in Toronto. When my friends overseas say that Canadians are so polite and friendly, I reply not when you serve them in our manner hahahahaha Stay safe.

[@pablocruise678]

Doors closed, wheels turned... I’m considered in motion..

[@WoodysPickle]

We call the person in the 2nd video a 51/50. That’s when we call road supervisors or the cops

[@manueldesant4849]

U gotta thank the bus driver!

[@EBL1SS]

Just passing through ...sayin HEY😊 🚌💨💨🙋🏾‍♀️💕

[@BusDriverLife]

Hey!!!!

[@TawheedRahmanBengali]

Nice video keep it up I love your video Keywan bro also this is true in London also I don't understand why people go front of a bus nice video keep it up Keywan bro and don't give up

[@nationalchampions]

I'm calling radio for Police and Safety to arrive immediately, then I'll open both doors in case any passengers want to exit the bus.

[@rosekiller123]

Wtf 😳 on the Gentleman’s Karen lol yeeesh?

[@mrsbrillhart247]

In the 3rd video that racist drunk Karen would've automatically got put off the bus due to her disgusting behavior. I believe this is in either the UK or Ireland. No human being should have to put up with that inhumane behavior!

[@madhatter9684]

In new York city tranit I deal with all of that when people fight I pull the break open all doors and get off call it in

[@jeffboy7860]

I'm a driver too I have a beach route called the booze bus lol I have at least one of these issues a day

[@jeffboy7860]

Nick name of route

[@merc340sr]

I hear you Mr Bus Driver. However, it might a good idea explain and post somewhere, the ""Pulling out" rule. A curb is a curb is a curb: the risk of injury, it seems to me, is the same no matter where you board the bus; at the stop or while puling out....unless there is something I have missed....

[@FatVapez]

What I love is how everyone wants everyone to do their job wherever they go until it comes to the bus driver. They want us to let them on and off wherever they want. Sorry this aint Uber or Lyft. Im not losing my job because you didnt make it to the bus stop.

[@TheTransportHub17]

Cool video Keywan. Karen time! 😂

[@BusDriverLife]

Thanks!!

[@jessystapley4150]

I like bus driver that I'd see all the time when I was last person on the bus and it was really later they would drive me right to my place so nothing bad happend to me

[@BTSObsesses]

Hell no, that last woman she would’ve been off my bus in a heartbeat my ship I am the captain you are overboard. That’s disgusting. I can’t believe that. I guess I can. It would’ve lasted that long at all.

[@donaldewert2332]

I saw video where a bus driver would not let a man off the bus. The man went to emergency windows and opened it, driver closed it. Thus went on and on and on. I don't know why the driver wouldn't let him off. Does any one know???

[@matcampbell5]

Once the bus I was got hijacked by a disgruntled passenger. Route 50 MARTA

[@BusDriverLife]

That’s wild!! I have to look that up!

[@raincity5004]

I had the bus drive be rude to me in Chicago because she dismissed that I wanted to be tied down with the securement straps but here’s the thing if I’m not tied down my wheelchair is going to roll as it is the bus start moving

[@BusDriverLife]

Interesting. We have to tie down the chairs in Sacramento.

[@mynameisnobody3931]

Why do people stand in front of the bus and keep everyone hostage ? Are they litterally children ?

[@thebronybusfan4740]

Keep moving the bus. As you proceed, more people exit and the problem solves itself. If it gets any further out of hand then it's time to call for help.

[@arisusakayanagi5590]

The other day I was riding the bus and the guy dropped his pants and started pissing all over the floor

[@BusDriverLife]

WOW!

[@MythicalTransit]

Not a KAREN lol!

[@MythicalTransit]

Have u seen the lady spit on a passenger?!

[@BusDriverLife]

@@MythicalTransit I have seen a couple recent videos of that..I may cover that soon.

[@MythicalTransit]

@@BusDriverLife oh ok! I'll be on the look out 👀

[@thehamiltonfirefighter4746]

The lady in the first clip has no life, why is she blocking the road for 20 minutes? people need to work and she probably acts like she works when she probably doesn't work at all

[@adampalmer2454]

last one totally should have been kicked off that would not fly where I live

[@tiguere8292]

I would not have continued after she called me the first N word. Passengers like that must be kicked off because other passengers get involved. Happened on my bus before and I told the guy to get off.

[@Andi-xe8qo]

I try them like a toddler you have 2 choices get off the bus or talk to PD your choice. Management cannot tell me that I kick them out.

[@arisusakayanagi5590]

What are those weird things on the top of the city busses

[@BusDriverLife]

It really depends on the bus but a lot of the CNG buses have the fuel tanks on top of the buses so that is probably what you’re seeing

[@arisusakayanagi5590]

@@BusDriverLife ah interesting, thank you

[@seraphina985]

That is probably because CNG is lighter than air so moving the tank to the top means any leaks discharge away from the occupied compartment.

[@stephenhyland4256]

The last video happened on Dublin Bus here in Ireland. Yeah there's a lot of scumbag passengers here alright I think they exist everywhere. Although I think the driver may have broken company policy as drivers are supposed to remain in the cab area if there is an incident in case of an assault.

[@BusDriverLife]

That’s very interesting..it probably is more safe in the cab..I wish more bus companies in the U.S had a full enclosed cab

[@stephenhyland4256]

I've heard mixed reports about it some drivers I believe feel a little trapped in the cab others feel safe. I've also heard the perspex screen can be broken easily but I guess it offers some protection. The reason we have the screens in Ireland is because the unions wanted it. Is this something drivers in the US want and have the unions been fighting for it?

[@stickychicken2547]

I was on the bus and some guy was running for the bus and he didn’t have his mask while he was running so then he got on the bus and the bus driver was like “you got wear mask sir” and then guy replied ”I’ll put it on in second sir ” then the bus driver was like” you got put the mask on before you get on the bus!!” And the bus driver was like” it’s not a hard concept people! ”. who do you guys was in the wrong the bus driver or the passenger running for the bus?

[@rumblinalong]

Third video is messed up. Probably should just stop the bus and have supervisor or police remove her.

[@chingchinghanji8006]

If someone throws up on the bus, do you have to clean it up?

[@rosekiller123]

Key word - utilities ~

[@ad60924]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤦🏻‍♀️
