I doubt the owner is going to be driving the bus. The only person to make a judgement is the driver who's there all day.

Thats why they define rules. It's how refs call fouls, penalties, etc and teachers send kids home based on how short their skirts or shorts are, etc. The bus drivers would only be refs in this sense to make the judgement call based on what the rules are.

Fist fight? I guess that depends if the person being asked to pull up his pants were to start a fight. The bus has rules about playing loud music on the bus what happens if that guy gets upset and gets into a fight? What is ridicules is this notion that we can do whatever we want and that is not the case and never has been.

Or it depends on how much effort someone thinks this is. If the person refuses to get off the bus, what takes place then? The driver getting physical about it or wastes our resources having officers report to a scene for baggy pants? Either way it's a wasted effort. You can't shut out music and it does infringe on the rights of others to talk and hear. Baggy pants does nothing like that.

They can deny you from getting on the bus if you are wearing no shoes. Do they have that right? Of course they do.

Automatically you have the rider starting a fight because he is being told to pull up his pants or else he can't ride the bus seem the problem then is with the rider and attacking a city worker will carry a stiff penalty when all that rider needed to do is pull up his pants.

There will always be rules and regulation that is a fact of life and always has been always will and most reasonable people have no problem following these rules

Actually, what I had asked is, what happens if the person refuses to leave? Does the driver get physical or waste our cops time with reporting of baggy pants? That's a pretty important question to consider.

Yeah there have always been rules. Why do we need to keep adding more for the average citizen to be weighted under?

Simple, you ask him to leave if he choose not to then you use this thing called a radio and communicate to the metro police that you have a situations. Kind of how this works, Bus driver is not going to go on the attack there is no need for him to do that.

Shoot them? :laugh2:

Metro police work for the transit department it is their job. Bus driver is not going to put himself in danger or that of his passengers that is why they have the metro police.

Nah nothing that draconian, just hand the driver a tazer and let him rip.

I'm sure the drivers would rather just do it my way.

So a football player gets thrown off a bus and arrested for not pulling his pants up. And now a middle aged dude is allowed to fly on a plane wearing a belly shirt, daisy dukes that had to be blurred on TV, and a wig/make-up.


hmmmm
