I have a complaint against a specific citi bus driver. Does anyone have an idea who i can turn to? I was riding the B8 this morning (the 18th Av. route), I did not have exact change with me so i went to the back of the bus to fetch it. when i came back to the driver with the money i got a yelling in front of the whole bus, for something that i couldn’t make out. OK, I swallowed it.
Now listen to this, a few stops later as the driver was getting ready to pull out of the bus stop, someone appeared and wanted to get on. The nasty driver saw him but decided for some reason to pull away, leaving him behind as if he didn’t exist. No one on the bus said a word! I was shocked! Did anyone have the same experience? If yes, let’s try to make our voices heard!
You might want to check out the MTA’s FAQ. I haven’t looked, but I’d be shocked if there’s no complaint contact number there.

What about the B11 bus?Same pattern for the last 20 years:wait 40 mts.in the freezing cold,3 buses come by in a row…next group of people wait 40 mts. in the freezing cold,etc.etc.
Rather than ask the CR, I’d ask 311.
You’re wasting your time. Even when you have a legit complaint, they ignore you. In this case, the bus driver acted acc. to MTA rules. FYI, no bus driver has to let you on and can tell you to leave, if you can’t pay the fare right away. He doesn’t have to let you get change. (Most are nice and do.) Secondly, as soon as the bus closes his door or if he didn’t open it because noone was standing there and started moving away (even an inch), he is not allowed to stop again and pick someone up. (Again, most are nice and will stop.) Learn the regs. before you complain! Maybe don’t break the rules and cause a chillul Hashem.
Its common practice for the bus driver to ignore people waiting for the bus. it happens all the time.
Eclipse-I’m maskim! I once waited for the B11 to go to Machon L’Parnasah for 45 minutes on a test day when I set aside extra time to get there on time which resulted in a loss of time!!! besides the cold, it makes your personality cold:)
A FREILACHIN CHANUKAH TO ALL! This yom tov should be a zchus to outlaw all the current tzoros to bring Mashiach b’karov!
Call 311 or report it at http://mta-nyc.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/mta_nyc.cfg/php/enduser/ask.php.
The chillul Hashem & breaking the rules were getting on the bus without change, if you do it all the time. In Israel, anything goes, here most drivers follow the regs.; which I’ll repeat, since you are having a hard time grasping them, – not to stop to pick someone up once they close the door or move out of the bus stop!
