Seriously Metro Transit...
Seriously Metro Transit...
...you're REALLY starting to suck.
Some of the shit you've gotten into has been kind of quirky, even funny. Others kind of unsettling. But this?

What a douche. I really dig the comments where people can rationalize the drivers decision. A-holes.

Even if the child wasn't autistic... he was still only eight years old!

I had to stop reading the comments because I was yelling at my computer. To paraphrase the popular one: 'Why didn't they just tell the kid to shut-up?'. Brilliant.

I know the mom and I thought she and her husband handled themselves on CBC today with absolute grace. Tough to do under the circumstances.
Metro transit is a total shitshow.

I would have handled it with absolute grace too... I'm surprisingly smooth with a headbutt.

Agreed, our public transit system is like the Wild West but sadly, it simply reflects the priority and effort that HRM council gives it. It should be mandatory for Council to commute by public transit X % of the year so they can get a wake-up call. Shit would change in a hurry...

I seem to remember China's government ordering their transportation ministers to take the first flights of January 1st 2000. I like that kind of leadership!
