A pregnant Dorchester woman says she has been too afraid to go outside since getting into a fight with an MBTA bus driver who she said swore at her when she couldn’t pay the fare.
A cellphone video posted online that went viral captured the fracas after Husniya Anderson, 32, threw a drink at the 13-year veteran driver who had asked her to get off the bus because she didn’t have enough money for the fare. The video then appears to show the driver attacking Anderson outside the bus as she holds on to her 3-year-old daughter in an effort to “shield her.”
“No sane person would do that, especially with a child in my vicinity,” Anderson told the Herald. “It was unprofessional and she should be ashamed of herself.”

I don't believe this counts as a discount, exception to full fare.
"but previously had been working as a political fundraiser..."
Hmmmm. Elizabeth Warren and Barack Obama supporter?
Why couldn't she raise enough money to pay the fare?
?
Baby daddy ain’t got no money yo? She said other passengers were saying it wasn’t a big deal, why didn’t they pay her way ?
Another gimme girl don’t like it when they are asked to pay. I have heard that it is not uncommon for most passengers on some routes to ignore paying.
As always, the comments after the article are twice as informative as the article itself.
Gimme a "ho" if you got your funky bus fare.
Get on the bus and pay your fare..
Hmmm, just wondering if it was an Amish mother......
Actually, it’s a lot more than just wondering.
No sane person would throw a drink on someone who was just doing their job. It was unprofessional and she should be ashamed of herself.
Sounds like a set-up.
From the comment section of the article, we have this.

In my neck of the woods, skipping out on paying bus fare is a common practice. People say, what’s the big deal; it’s only $2.50. They don’t realize that with so many people not paying, the public transit agency could go broke. As it is, fares are subsidized through state and federal taxes. Without those subsidies, the real cost of a ride would be a helluva lot more.
Same in my neighborhood. The drivers just wave them on. I think they’re afraid to confront the sons of Obama.
Why couldn't she raise enough money to pay the fare?
Remember a few years ago when the progressives were pushing the minimum wage and it was discovered they weren't paying it to their own workers?
Also, why is a woman with no money volunteering for anything?
Indeed. One guy made the astute observation that she didn't have enough money for the bus, but had enough to buy that drink.
A reasonable response instead of throwing a drink would have been ‘sorry I don’t have the correct amount but I promise the next time I ride the bus to include the difference in the fare’. Stupid people do stupid things based on stupid emotions. Its how we got stuck on the bus with Obama.
Priviliged individual who is used to having Whitey pay her way.
Oh six weeks. Fer god’s sake! She’s acting like she’s ready to drop any day, instead of barely aware of a pregnancy. Stupid lazy gimmeedat.
