I’m sure the op is a nice person, but the “childish” responses were prompted by the childish title of the post and the post itself. No responsible bus driver would have opened the door.

Absolutely correct. I can understand that he may have been puzzled and disappointed. But, to travel home, go online, and write up a complaint about it is a bit much.

I agree. Not in this day and age, that's for sure.

Couple things – I’ve taken the trolley tour with my guests three times, all very different experiences, not sure they are scripted.

As former Federal Law Enforcement, I would not have stopped and allowed you onboard. Safety is paramount and the liability TV Sales would have allowing the practice of allowing people to board off the street is huge.

Sometimes we get so comfortable in an establishment or location we forget we too are guests and don’t own the place. If the driver allowed you to board I suspect he would no longer be employed. I know you meant well but this was not the way.

The Trolley is not a transit service. Driver was doing his job. It is a tour bus for TV. Simple answer! Have another Martini in Palmer.

You're not alone, Gracie. I didn't get it either. Color me confused.

Nothing to “get.” I think OP put the driver in a very uncomfortable and unfair position.

The parting comment regarding “friendliest...” only made the incident more weird.

The same thing happened to me, when I saw a bus load of Swedish bikini swim team girls. They would not open the door for nothing when I was jumping up and down trying to flag them down wanting to get in the bus.

That's because I told them that I didn't know or recognize you...and that I was all they needed to protect them.


Sorry about that...maybe next time. :o
