What happened was the bus's fare box stole the guy's money and then the driver told him tough luck you can't have your money back and I am not going to give you and all day ticket.

Of course that guy bitched and the woman gave him him a pass in the end.

Of course if the woman had ripped off the guy I would have called her an equal oppertunity jerk who treats people bad regardless of their race. Which I think is probably the case.

But since the woman gave the guy a pass, while she refused to give me a pass I called her a racist.

That is because she ripped off me a White guy, while the guy she started to rip off yesterday, but didn't was a Black guy.

Today is Tuesday Feb 3, 2009 and when I got on the bus at 5 am the woman yelled at me.

I scanned a copy of my notes which I made after I got off the bus and bought a newspaper.

When I got on the bus the lady asked me what I said yesterday.

I told her that she ripped me off for a dollar the first time I rode the bus with her.

Other then that I refused to answer her questions or say anything, because I didn't want to argue with her.

I went to the back of the bus and sat down and just stared at the floor for most of the trip.

Next to me was a Latino guy who doesn't seem to speak much English. I wanted to say to him "La mujer es loco", which in Spanish means "The woman driver is crazy", but I didn't.

The woman bus driver yelled at me from McDowell Road till we got to either Continental Drive (Roosevelt) or McKellips Road, I doen't remember with because I was pretty much staring at the ground.

The woman bus driver yelled at me and said a few things like:

• Did you call in and snitch on me?
• I don't want you riding on my bus any more!
• I didn't rip you off you tried to rip us off!

Then the bus driver started yelling at me again. This time she said a few things like:

• I'm not a racist you are.

I guess the lady has every right in the world to yell at me and insult me after all it is a free country and last time I checked the First Admendment has not been declared null and void.

Although if I were her employeer, Valley Metro, or the government entity she is performing work for, the City of Tempe, I certainly would not allow her to yell at and insult customers.
