It's a nothing little piece about being on a bus when the driver had to stop suddenly to make a bathroom run. Hey, it happens.
Until halfway down the comments, where 11 people up voted this gem:
don't blame the driver for locking up the bus while she had to answer to nature's call. The passengers inside the bus are her responsibility until they arrive at their destination. That's why MTA has insurance for bus safety. With the assortment of wackos walking the streets who is to say that one of them would not enter an open bus, robbed or murdered the passengers, tried to steal the fare box or even try to hold the bus as hostage? Even in stifling heat the driver did the correct thing. If you want comfort and air conditioning take a taxi.
I didn't know all the murdering bus hijackers were terrified of the drivers! No wonder I feel so safe when traveling!
