Heartless Bus Driver

I was driving into work downtown the other day at about 4 p.m. and noticed an older Asian gentleman running down the street, carrying a bag and waving at the bus he had obviously just missed. The bus stopped at the light on Goyeau, waiting to turn east on University. I pulled alongside and honked my horn to get the operator's attention. In the meantime this man was still running like mad and screaming for the driver to stop. I gestured that a person was attempting to catch his bus but this arrogant driver simply shook his head and flipped his hand in dismissal. As the light turned green and he was able to proceed, the running man had actually caught up to the bus but would have had to enter traffic to board it. As I turned west, I gasped when I looked in my rear-view mirror and watched the bus zoom along University, not even considering pulling over while the man crossed the street. I am horrified for that desperate, running man, and shocked by the behavior of one insulting, pompous Transit Windsor bus driver. How dare he! I have seen many, many bus drivers pull over to let someone on, even if it wasn't at a designated bus stop. It's just courtesy. Hell, it's just the moral thing to do. Do you really think someone on that bus would complain that he's stopping and taking up an extra five seconds of their trip? What has this world come to for such mean-spirited behavior? Seriously, I just shake my head.
