If anything, they ought to be rewarded extra good things to compensate for the amazing amounts of crud they put up with. I'd wear a shirt that says "I hella heart Oakland Bus Drivers" heh heh I love to see bus drivers have good things happen.

The motorist had to wait a good couple minutes while passengers offloaded and boarded and the traffic light completed its cycle. New Orleans drivers, though, are by far the most sassy. A man came on to the bus and just stopped in the stairwell to stare at his feet, thus blocking the door's closure. After several unsuccessful shouts at the guy, the bus driver just said, "OK. Here we go!" The bus took off with the door open and the guy in the stairwell. Needless to say, the guy got out of the stairwell and off of the bus when the driver stopped a few hundred feet down the road.
