"Predictable," "easy"...
A bus pulls up to a group of girls at a campus bus stop and the door opens. The girls don't get on.
Bus Driver: Where are you going?
Girl #1: Downtown
Bus Driver: This bus goes downtown.
Girl #1: No, we're waiting for the 6.
Bus Driver: Oh, the 6? It broke down at the bottom of the hill. It's being towed and it'll never come.
Girl #2: Really?!
Bus Driver: PSYCH!
The bus driver closes the doors and pulls away. He picks up the microphone.
Bus Driver: (to passengers) Man, Western girls are so predictable... It must be all the alcohol!

Alix,
First of all.. your name reminds me of "nix".. do you have bugs?
Second: I call bullshit on this one.
unless that driver's looking to get fired, this is bullshit.
I suspect that those girls were wearing (or planning to wear) UGGS when this happened.
As such, I am disgusted by the bus driver's cowardice and inability to perform his patriotic duty by promptly plowing his vehicle through the subhuman UGG-toting filth.

Welcome back, Western! I look forward to having you join me on my noble quest, and to beheading those of you who do not.
Dear Bob,
Who will conquer the Crocs?
I assure you that this was not bullshit. The bus driver continued to stay on the microphone afterward and tell us all about his day... there were about 20 of us on it and eventually people were reguesting that he tell us jokes.

(P.S. I don't have bugs)
That was so unnecesarily rude and unfunny of the busdriver. Just because the girls were gullible does not make them typical "Western Girls", or "drunk". His comment makes no sense. He's probably bored with his job and jealous that Western students are getting a real education.
Every student at Western *not* attending medicine, dentistry or IVEY will soon find themself driving a bus in a few years. LOL!
You forgot Law.
and probably over half of those, as well.
You know what's great? When a bus driver, who nonetheless has a university route, can outsmart his own riders!
Those dumb fucks.
"This bus goes downtown" Any intelligent person would have got on at this point. IF the bus driver did indeed do this, then props to him (or her) for calling it on those girls.

whoa bob, whats the deal with all the hate towayds the UGGS. have you ever tried a pair on? THEY ARE AMAZING. and before you judge the boot you have to try it, or otherwise you dont have an argument at all.
oh yeah, and if you hate the ugsg you are going to love the tights under a mini-skirt. it is the new uniform!!
11:32, the 2 Dundas goes to the part of downtown with the most hobos. Nobody wants that.
what we've probably failed to clarify here is that these girls were looking to go to Starbucks/downtown, not McDonald's/downtown where the 2 dundas goes. Also, every city bus I've been on in London has never had a microphone to speak into, only a bus driver that yells for everyone to move back and make room.
Have you ever been in a tour bus, where the tour guide has one of those "walky-talky" things that they use to point out locations? They have them on the city buses too, although this was the first time I'd ever seen it used.
The Bus Driver wasn't being mean, the girls actually laughed with him. He was really funny.

Im here on behalf of the passengers on the bus to say that this actually happend! Much to the amusment to those on board The bus driver proceeded to tell jokes and block traffic in the alumni hall round-a-bout.
Go LTC!!!
But there's a starbucks across the street from the McDonalds where the 2 lets off...

hmm... well i don't need to get chlamydia to know i don't want it.
7:27 pm: I believe 9:33 am meant the Starbucks at Central Ave. / Victoria Park. The 2 doesn't go near there.
I shall behead any that don crocs!
^ I agree, brother-in-arms! Slash the throats of those who defile our campus with crocs!

The LTC busses actually do have microphones to talk to passengers with... drivers just don't use them ... except the guy on the 9C/6 combo at night who tells us which buses are at Nat Sci if we want to switch, how long hes going to dick around a bus stop, and that we shouldn't use the back door because of ice in the winter.
I think only the newer buses have the microphone system.
they should announce street names as you come up to major intersections like in other cities. no more of this old guy asking everyone around him five times "is it at oxford yet" business.
8:42, don't be a Bob poser.
Actually, there's this one older lady who announces the stops on the 2.. I kinds wish more of them would do that.. although she sounds like she inhaled a few tobacco plants.
i love the bus driver on the two dundas, he tells great jokes and is super friendly. some ppl dont like his jokes cause they make fun of westerners though...
