Detroit Bus Drivers Expose Deplorable Working Conditions: Rodents, Bed Bugs, Spitting And Assaults

WWJ ^ | September 7, 2017

Detroit bus drivers say they’re fed up working in deplorable conditions — with primitive seating, daily assaults from passengers and bug-infested coaches — and they’re demanding the city take action.

The drivers say their working conditions are disgusting — they have no choice but to breathe diesel fumes, passengers verbally abuse and spit on them, and they’re forced to dodge roaches, bed bugs and rodents. Those are just some of the complaints

I wonder how much a Detroit bus driver makes.

[RckyRaCoCo]

...they’re forced to dodge roaches, bed bugs and rodents. Those are just some of the complaints electorate that voted for Hilliary in '16.

And all that for a measly $120k a year. Plus 10 weeks of vacation, a 20-year full retirement package, gold-plated health care, 40 "holidays" a year (in addition to vacation), a 4-hour work day, and permanent job security.

How DO they stand it!??

DDOT bus drivers earn between $12.69 and $18.29 an hour.

Scandinavia is not without their problem areas, but the smaller cities, off the beaten path, look like idyllic movie props. No litter, no graffiti, beautifully kept structures and waterways, filled with highly educated law-abiding people. Then you look at Detroit. Anyway you slice it, it is a complete garbage can. The closest thing to a filthy dumpster any city has ever evolved into.

Sounds like areat job, now how about evidence to back it up your claims?

In “the Fifth Element” a thug shows up at a ticket booth and isn’t pleased when he doesn’t get what he wants.

As the ticket booth lady is lowered out of the booth, he slams his fist against the ticket booth window.

An automatic array of guns is activated and they drop down as a recorded voice tells him he is under arrest.

He is scared s-less, and follows instructions immediately.

Don’t you just wish sometimes then when these Leftist thugs do what they do, something like this would happen?

The place would certain be a lot more civil all of a sudden.

Then they can complain.

“Then you look at Detroit. Anyway you slice it, it is a complete garbage can.”

And what is the demographic there?

[Bon of Babble]

Whatever they're making, it's not enough!

They'd be safer on the front line in Afghanistan.

Well, come on now. It's Detroit. What did you expect- clean roads, charming scenery, sunshine and lollipops?

[IronJack]

Look up the definition of “hyperbole.”

Detroit. The setting for the post-apocalyptic movie Robocop. That was 1987. It’s gotten worse.

[BOOHA]

detoilet has a zip code?

[Garth Tater]

"Detroit bus drivers say they’re fed up working in deplorable conditions"

What do they expect? They're living and working in the 3rd world (if that.) Don't like it? Move back to the USA.

Just wanting passengers to feel ‘at home’ when on the bus.

“I’d buy that for a dollar!”

I know this sounds insensitive but, man look where you are at. Do you think it somehow miraculously going to change into a cosmopolitan city? It is a $hithole
