Another day, another run-in with the TTC
Oct. 11th, 2011 06:17 pmI'm trying to determine if I now have a case of assault-by-TTC-driver. But I'm not sure.
What happened was that the TTC driver, in her effort to inform me that she doesn't actually have to follow TTC's rules if she's running late, closed the bus door in my face fast enough and with no warning that the door hit me. It's been a few hours and the area the door hit me is still sore.
On the one hand: If she had told me she was going to close the door and drive off, I probably would have stepped back and avoided being hit.
On the other hand: I don't think she was trying to hurt me.
Thus, I am unsure.
But yes, it was another TTC driver informing me that she doesn't have to actually follow TTC's rules because... I don't know. She insisted that she would call dispatch and find out when the next bus with a working ramp would come along, but refused to stay long enough to give us that information because she was already late on her route.
What is the purpose of this? I don't even know anymore. We ended up walking home from campus rather than deal with the TTC anymore today.
