At least someone isn’t hunting Muni bus drivers

I mean, right?
This American Life recently aired a crazy story called, “Diana, Hunter of Bus Drivers.” Here’s a sample:
“The first murder happened at 7:45 am, on August 28th, on bus route 4A. That morning, a woman hailed bus 718, climbed the steps, pulled a gun and shot the driver. The driver jumped out of the bus trying to escape but died on the sidewalk. The killer, witnesses said, was a middle-aged woman with dyed blonde hair — or maybe it was a wig — wearing a cap, plaid shirt and jeans. Nobody saw how she escaped. Or at least nobody would say.”
Read or listen to the rest of this story out of Juárez, Mexico on the TAL website. Then thank your Muni driver on your next ride.
If only, they might not act like such entitled pricks for a change. Bart keeps going on strike like they are on the 12, and someone might get ideas from this story. Not me, I work 3 jobs, I don’t have time to do the right thing
The Juarez bus routes in question are infamous for the sexual violence perpetrated by the bus drivers on women maquiladora workers who take the busses at all hours of the day (think hundreds of murders and rapes annually). Complacency and victim blaming from the authorities led at least one woman go vigilante. Many women are outspoken supporters of her actions.

There are plenty of crazies in the city.
