The bus driver would have gotten the woman's fare, and the few seconds that it would have taken the woman to fold her stroller could not possibly have been that important to the driver. It would have been more efficient for the bus driver to not stop at all when he saw that the woman had a stroller (unless there were other people at the bus stop) than it was for him to tell her she can't get on with a stroller and then not wait for her to fold it up. He's probably just a jerk.<BR/><BR/>RichardAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17501440.post-1138744894569306452006-01-31T17:01:00.000-05:002006-01-31T17:01:00.000-05:00The bus driver made the efficient decision for him...The bus driver made the efficient decision for him, so the costs of picking her up must have outweighed the benefit, which would have been her fare. So I guess he didn't want the hassle of helping her on and off the bus, wasting time and costing him an opportunity cost of other potential customers. Or maybe he just doesn't like babies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
