I am an adult and a patron, and should be treated as such. This man's gross disregard for customer service, or more generally, human tact, has settled it for me. I'll never get on an IU Campus bus again.
I mistakenly entered through the back doors rather than the front, thinking that since there were less than ten people in the vehicle and I've never been asked for ID on the campus busses, that it wouldn't be a big deal. I sat down and settled in, losing myself in my music before a jarring interruption. The bus driver was actually summoning from my seat using his intercom.
I was driving southbound on DUNN street between 6 and 615PM on Thursday May 11th 2017 and there were 2 IU buses parked next to the POPLAR building garage and as I was heading close towards the rear bus, it suddenly cut me off big time on purpose AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. Next time that happens again I will most certainly file a complaint to the Department of Transportation for sure.
Used it several times. Very clean, very professional drivers, and great app to see very close approximation of where it is and when it will arrive.
This driver then proceeded to criticize my actions until I finally said: "yes, all right, I've got it." It wasn't until then that he allowed me to return to my seat.
I would like to point out that not once in the process of walking through those doors to get into a public transportation vehicle did I feel too entitled.
I tried to calmly explain to him that it was a mistake, that I'd assumed it had been all right for the aforementioned reasons, and go back to my seat. Unfortunately, he wouldn't allow that and continued to admonish me: "you have to go through the front doors, just like everyone else."
Confused, I got up (with my ID, just in case that was what he wanted) and walked to him. He immediately began to scold me for entering through the back, as if I had been caught red-handed doing something amoral. The situation reminded me of getting in trouble with my father when I was still a toddler.
I have never been a fan of public transportation, but recently an IU driver gave me another reason entirely to despite taking the bus.
