    This happened to me today, and I am wondering if its just me or does it happen often??

    I was on a jewish bus going from the city to another city and i told the bus driver i need to get off at the yeshiva…he said okay its a few more minutes…about 10 minutes later, he stops and says to me did you want to get off by the yeshiva?? we passed it already and he dropped me off in the middle of NO WHERE!!!! i walked about 10-15 minutes to the yeshiva. I dont mind walking I do it all the time, i feel like it was extremely rude of the bus driver to not announce the stop….especially since I went over to him and specified that I needed to get off at that stop…imagine he wouldnt have seen me in the rear view mirror he woulda probably dropped me off 100 miles away from my stop.

    Is it just me???

    I agree its annoying, but maybe he was thinking about something else (or being a good driver) and he forgot…?

    Consider it a learning experience for the next time.

    It’s a good idea to ask fellow passengers in addition to the driver. Or remind the driver every so often when you think you are getting close to your destination.

    It’s hard to know if it was intentional or not. My mom was once on a city bus and was maltreated by the driver. She was so upset and really believed it was, believe it or not, an anti- “white” attitude on his part (black driver). He apparently treated the black passengers in an obviously different way. In your case, it really could have been an oversight on his part. Unless he does that repeatedly, you have may have to attribute it to error. I agree with am YISRAEL. It’s probably best to ask several people to cover yourself.

    No, it isn’t just you. It happens to me too and I have seen it happen to other people.

    bh i wasnt upset but i felt like it was a lack of service…

    my sister was once taking the 13 bus in israel by herself for the first time and asked the bus driver for tachana in her broken hebrew, she sat rite behind him….yet he got to the last stop and said everyone off….my sisters like, umm wheres the tachana, he said we passed it..she started to cry and he drove her there :))

    Drivers on the non jewish buses will miss a stop once in a blue moon it happens you have to be alert. You should not chepper them usually they will remember.

    I consider this to be a big problem. Had this happened to me, I would have been in big trouble because I cannot walk that far with my bad back and 2 artificial hips. I wonder what would have happened if I had been the passenger.
