Just a soothing story:

I had the most fabulous bus driver (on the 99) this morning. I needed to put a bike on the rack and he jumped out to help me pull the arm up. (The new racks are really a problem.) Then... and this is where it becomes relevant to your story:

We approached a crosswalk on a 4-lane road (+ 2 lanes of parked cars, one on each side). There was a woman and a child waiting to cross. The bus driver first stopped (in the second lane from the right) and then moved his bus to block the two lanes so that a car driver that wouldn't be paying attention and would go through the crosswalk wouldn't mow down the pedestrians.

I thought that was the sweetest bus driver ever.

At an intersection later on he stopped the bus, jumped out and into a Tim Hortons, and came back with coffee, oh, I'd say, about 45 seconds later. The Tim Hortons employees probably think he's sweet, too.

I was pretty impressed. I'm sure that guy would NOT have run you over, Badger.

(I wrote to the transit company to praise the driver.)
