LA bus drivers are the same. These fools straight up DGAF. I dunno how many times I’d have been creamed by a bus changing lanes if I didn’t operate in total paranoia mode around the damn things.

Exactly. Bus drivers, and pretty much any large vehicle driver, drive like assholes/manics. I experience every day thanks to the DC metro bus system.
