Went to Arnold Palmer's tonight for the twin lobster tails. As I was going in, the trolley pulled up in front. I wanted to tell all the passengers what a wonderful place this is. The driver refused to open the door, I don't know what he told the occupants.

As they were leaving, I shouted "WELCOME TO FLORIDA'S FRIENDLIEST HOMETOWN"----I think they got the message.

Trolley tours are scripted.

The doors are not opened at every stop, especially at an eating establishment.

While you fussed outside, the tour guide was talking to the riders, probably about the history of the restaurant.

Strange story on several levels IMHO.

I think the trolley driver was acting in the best interests and safety of the riders. The OP may have had good intentions, but could have looked like an idiot, or worse.

Because a gentlemen waving a happy welcome WOULD look suspicious ....

Why did you include the phrase "could have"?

I might be a little scared in that situation depending on what the shouter looked like. And they might not have been able to hear you??

Waving a happy welcome is fine but speaking uninvited to a group on a bus is weird. I wouldn’t have opened the door either.

LOL, Someone must have spiked his Arnold Palmers at Arnold Palmer's.

Or you could have been a person who truly despise the developer, telling them how greedy the family is, and wanted alert all on the bus.
How would the driver know what you would say.
