RTS releases statement regarding viral bus video
David Riley, 1:11 p.m. EDT June 19, 2014
...On this occasion the situation escalated and reinforces our need to continue to educate customers about pass rules and regulations. The customer and her two children were driven safely home by an RTS employee. We apologize to the other customers who were inconvenienced by this.
As stewards of taxpayer dollars, we must insure appropriate use of our resources and established fare rules."
In a phone interview, 20-year-old city resident Corrine Moore said she was the woman shown in the video. She said she was taking a Route 4 bus home shortly after 8 p.m. on Tuesday with the two children, both younger than 2 years old.
She said after she boarded and paid her fare, she gave her fare card to a man who helped to load her stroller on the bus. She said the driver told her she was not allowed to do that and was rude....
Here's viral video of the incident. WARNING FOUL LANGUAGE!!

This city has really taken a turn for the worse in the past few years. At least the other people on the bus had it right and so I still have faith in the citizens.
:sigh:
