The driver of 7117 on route 53 is either a hero, or an asshat. It depends on whether you’re on the bus or trying to get on, and I was lucky to get in early. Past some unspecified point, the bus became a quasi-limited stop route like 53E, not picking up any more passengers despite the bus not being too packed. But unlike a 53E, people could leave at off at local stops along the way, provided they got to the doors fast enough.
Instead of staring in shock and confusion as the bus drove by, one guy made an attempt to knock on the door and run after the bus during a congested stretch of road. It wasn’t nearly as packed as when I got on, but the driver didn’t open the door. The guy ran to the next stop over, actually, to no avail.
Those who got the short end of the stick should file a complaint. Bus number 7117 on route 53, got to Bayview Avenue at 8:30 am today.
As for me, I’ll stick to 53E during rush hour and spare myself the drama.
