Jeez... you have to be the lowest of the low to attack a bus driver like that. Pathetic.
Jesus is LORD, whether you like it or not.
You have been informed.
Its the ghetto those soul brothers always fighting
This is normal behavior for them
@GuitarsCarsandBikes
Yes, it is . We all are sinners. With little consequences, we're demonic creatures.
However, redemption and salvation are there available through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
We leave the world behind.
Or a mailman
This is why conceal and carry is critical for those riding the bus AND the driver
Unfortunately guns aren't aloud on the bus or cta trains. Lol
A bus driver in Charlotte, NC got fired for doing just that to defend himself. Because had he NOT carried, he would've been shot by a passenger in an instant.
I also carry as a bus driver up here in Chicago and I'm also licensed to carry. I also a third degree black belt in Kyokushin karate and shito-ryu as a young Gen Z bus driver in the name. It's been a year for me in the bus driving industry and got other jobs in lined just in case if I get fired because that's disappointed that our company doesn't care about bus drivers at all and we're the ones keeping these buses rolling. One of my coworker is carrying also and I don't blame him.
For sure! I was just saying this.
When I was a driver I carried everyday
I feel really sorry for the CTA drivers by the way. They already work hard and are stressed. They didn’t deserve this.
Its the ghetto 79
Yes they don’t deserve to be disrespected by the riders.
Then they should find another line of employment
@@rakeem176🪮👇🏾👑🦍🔮🗿🎩
@@amck72 Na u should
79th street riders don't think they have to pay. Bottom line stop letting them on for free. They have an excuse every day on why they can't pay. No money no ride pure and simple. This is broke Bum behavior.
Not just 79th street!!! Try the Madison, Chicago Ave, or Roosevelt bus routes
@@yourmommahouse , anywhere there are blaqistanians, you will find that behavior.
Self-entitled....for never accomplishing anything, other than reinforcing the stereotypes that they have earned.
The truth is embarrassing, but none of them care..just look at how many walk around in PJ's and "house shoes".
@@yourmommahousebasically any rout that passes through the hood
@@jaimep3432 not just the hood!! I've seen MFS getting wild on the pace buses!!! Not just blk ppls
My venture app don’t be working
Riding the 79th Bus is literally like you're on the Red Line Train😂😂
I wouldn't know. IMO ain't nothing south of Roosevelt worth spit except UIC.
@@lanesland You're right, you wouldn't know. No thanks for your opinion.

Which is why I hated taking the dirty Red Line to 95th Red Line just to go home when I was living in the Roseland neighborhood. I would take the Metra back home which is safer.
I would never drive 79th bus at all.
City is doomed. All that and nobody helped the bus driver.
Thats what I'm saying, not 1 man or how about 3 or 4 people get together and all go stop it. It makes me sick
What wrong with the other patrons not a one could come to his assistance. How tragic m, isn’t their any common decency left in people?
@@GemGrl You wouldn't intervene, would you??
It could result in them pulling out a knife, and then you've had it.
And I wouldn't trust complete strangers to "do the right thing" as you might think it, either.
They might not be as "telepathic" as to my intentions just because they look as though they may respond in a certain way to the assault, or vice versa.
That's *precisely* when to look out for number 1, not "be a hero".
Somebody on a bus in the UK was murdered by a person who'd at one time been living with an associate of mine after causing a nuisance to fellow passengers.
He wasn't the tiniest bit sorry for what he did - that I can be certain of.
Want to know why nobody intervened? Daniel Penny on line #1
They shooting out there. You all would be the same ones in these comments to say mind your business if they'd helped and gotten killed.
$2.50 tells me both the woman and man are jobless.
It's a program that gives free bus cards to all.
Nah, you just can't tell certain people that things aren't free and they're supposed to pay for them. Or make them angry in any way.
Jobless , homeless doesn’t mean it’s an excuse to beat a person just doing their job. It’s a mess out there. They gonna mess with the wrong person one day ….
Some feel they are above paying the fare, while there are a few who literally can’t afford to pay.
And if they were to get arrested they’d be out before the day is done
The boyfriend should have picked her up from the mall knowing she didn't bus fare and he has access to a vehicle, make it make sense, all this over $2.50?
Look at their Race tho so what did y'all expect
The same type of people committing the same crime. These people are their own worst enemy.
Better than cutting a baby out of a womb like your type of ppl
Hey what “type of people” killed those 2 missing Texas moms?
Just like the "type" to cut a newborn baby out of the womb!!!
Hey that’s racist for noticing. !! Ya bigot. Math science and English are also racist ! LOL. 😮😮. Juneteenf is coming.
@@gladiator1342don't you have a funeral for a 5 year old spun on by the Opps to be at?
Absolutely Do not understand how you can drive down 79th street As a bus driver and the police never shows up🤦🏾♂️. This is absolutely ridiculous
DEMONIC SPIRIT OF PRIDE................
Yes that is Chicago.
@@kingjuju79852020
That's the world.
It temporarily belongs to LUCIFER
And riding the bus in these times is just insane
What you want them to do? Carjack?
The train is worse, so many crazies and junkies sad officials not doing any sweeps as these attacks and incidents keep happening too!
I always hear it on the bus you can get up to 10 years in prison for doing that
Protect CTA drivers, 🙏🏾
Problem with public transit is that they’re not allowed to have adequate protection according to their policies so yeah they are sitting ducks. Sad but the union president should push for a policy change
this summer is gonna suck. hold on tight folks
People really willing to go to jail over nothing
Ride at your own risk.
No…. Drive at your own risk ⚠️
@@savvyfats Exactly! As a bus driver myself, we have taken a lot of sh*t for many years.
@@wturner777 I know that the right I wanna drive for San Francisco’s metro but seeing some of these videos makes me second guess tbh
@@savvyfats Same here when I wanted to live there. Despite SF being a dense and diverse transit-oriented city, it’s just not worth it.
@@wturner777 😩 but the money is so good
I remember something similar happening almost 40 years ago though the guy didn’t go as far as this guy did. He was wandering around the Cicero ave bus harassing other passengers until the driver stopped & called police. Several of us got off & also called 911 from pay phones (obviously this was before cell phones). Police never came, but a fire engine did? Back then the people they were hiring for dispatch weren’t the brightest. Only a few years later I called 911 in the middle of the night for gunshots right outside my ground floor apartment near Loyola University. Dispatcher never sent anyone AND told me “Ma’am. You’re inside. What are you worried about?” Always have been useless.
Transit driver safety is an MAJOR problem across the country. We are all begging for security on routes and buses
Nobody is coming if you need help in Chicago so let’s spend 10 Billion on a new Stadium along with infrastructure.?
We are living the Jerry Springer Show
No amount of money will help the police problem. Who wants to be a police officer when laws favor criminals ?
I hope bus drivers are at least empowered to call CPD much earlier than this driver did. As soon as the woman started threatening him, the bus driver should be allowed to call police to get her removed and charged with harassment. I hope the driver is able to recover quickly and that the police do their jobs and catch the male offender. I thought CTA already has its own security officers.
I think the video said he call the moment he heard the threats
they need to have at least 1 officer on the bus or security
So Pookie ran off and left his overweight Keisha to get taken into custody 🤣
Yup
😂😂😂😂😂
This is why Ford City Mall is hot garbage, when I was young even the Basement floor was packed, we couldn’t park on the weekends and now……
That's why they closed it cause of the soul brothers
Then they wonder why dollar stores wont even open up shop.
@@jaimep3432 that's f up they destroy everything

Peacock ally right, they ruined it man like everything else
CPD is defunded. There are not enough cops to go around anymore.
They not defunded!!!
It is when the mayor gives all the money to illegals
Stop spreading bull crap
They are gone u don't see cops anymore
@@rakeem176 I live here. They are not gone nor defunded man
I lived on 79th and bennett and bus drivers say 79th is the worst route ever and I've seen it all riding my way east to Bennet from the redline
“Don’t worry, I’m gonna do something about it” - Brandon Johnson
I’m a mta driver in San Francisco and we let our fare inspectors handle that. My coworkers have had gun/knives pulled on them, assaulted and spit on. Just focus on driving it’s not safe to be confrontational. You’re on your own out there.
CTA punishes or fires drivers for giving free rides.
I didn't know that the 79th st bus is the busiest
Full of mf with nothing to do going no where
Busiest,roughest,rob,fight,shoot on the bus..got to Wentworth and kids throwing bricks at the bus.. haven't ridden it in 20 yrs…
Don't ever get on that bus its always full of crackheads
I would have guessed the Western route was the busiest.
I don't understand why the CTA bus is not like a gas station with bullet proof glass so they can't get to you. The plastic shield is only halfway covering you it's ridiculous! The bus cost the city almost 500k each look it up no reason not to have fully protected drivers. The train operators are locked inside so people can't get to them.
Animals!
💯💯💯
And I thought this was the same attack while the bus was moving and crashed into a building? Nope, different place…..SAME perpetrator!
The CTA union needs to do so much more to protect their drivers. That was ridiculous on so many levels. No police showing up and the drivers are defenseless. Smh
Defunding police, baby
There’s a $95M Police Academy that’s just a couple of years old. 2-3 CHI public schools were closed to make that happen.😊
They not defunded
I know right? Everybody wants a reduced police presence until they see what it actually looks like.
@@stephengrinkley9889 cpd haven’t been defunded
Stop bus service like they stopped building businesses in there neighborhoods
Exactly 💯
She could’ve called her boyfriend she could’ve just got a ride from him

@@soroyale7805 I said the same thing you can see it best in the winter a huge dark cloud just hanging over the city of Chicago that's why I'm glad we left it.
@@tdenzel101 I'm happy for anybody that leaves this place for the better.
These demons are running amuck 2.50. How PETTY and sick...SMH
Years ago CTA had its own police unit.
same as in LA. Bus operators get attacked all the time and transit police takes FOREVER to respond
A lot of these Bus Drivers are Rude....The Bus be Late,and the Driver take it Out On The Passengers... I have had So Many Rude Incidents with Drivers and their Bad Attitude... If you Hate People don't take a job in Customers Service!
Agree. This case has nothing to do with that. But I hear ya.
You have to understand something, there is good and bad in everything. YES you do have bad Drivers. He shouldn't got in out the seat, THAT'S WERE HE MADE HIS MISTAKE
LIFE IS A TWO WAY STREET.
I guess she would rather go to jail than pay 2.50
So how am I supposed to get to the mall to shoplift stuff?
🤔...
Lada Riva??
Ford city was good back in the mid 1980
Dark times ahead . So much lawlessness
They want to build a new football stadium for the bears instead of law and order
It’s no way that I could just watch this happen to another human being.😢
How does someone not have $2.50 for the bus?
"those" people
PLEASE BELIEVE THAT NOBODY CAN MAKE THIS UP I'VE SEEN IT AND NOT JUST ON THE 79TH STREET BUS
You'd be surprised. Ain't NO JOKE out here
Not that they don’t have the money, they just want to ride for free.
THEY are nothing but animals, Quanisha & Quantavious are going crazy…
And Lachaka and Keesha.
Some guy named John's a racist, go figure
Lmao

Don't provide services in these neighborhoods.
There are tax paying law abiding people in these neighborhoods that need transportation to work, school and hospitals. They should not be denied services because of a few fools.
This would be a good use of the National Guard, at least through the summer.
@@paja7647 that is unfortunate but at the same time most of those hard working people backed BLM and their Marxist rhetoric that put them in this situation.
It's time for them to admit what the real problem is so they can fix it.
No just have their own security like the metra. Or make it impossible for a rider to psychically assault the bus driver. On trains, you can’t access the driver. Make the same adjustment, spend a little money and hold police accountable for poor response times.
@@gladiator1342 Well, police accountability just isn't gonna happen, certainly not in Chicago or most big cities.
Passengers also need a sense of security, so if Metra security can do that, it would be great, otherwise let the National Guard do it.
Dats waaaaaycst
The worst route I'm telling you
Not all of them but a good hand full of those cta drivers are not very good employees , there's always two sides to a story
But CTA said it’s doing a lot better than previous years. This is beyond ridiculous.
CTA is hiring bus drivers if ur interested
Na im good 😂😂😂😂😂

@@JorgeInRealLife You can just don't get caught
Can’t pay 💰 2.50 just sad yo wow
It's $2.90 in nyc
@@nicolemonruein NYC no bus driver is telling people to pay either.
The busses are free. Just walk on the front or the back.
Better yet, tap the onmy system and pay. Ride the bus route and get a tally going the best you can of paying vs non paying customers.
The bus is free. Pay if you want in NYC.
In Detroit our bus system have transit police officers riding behind them sometimes but I normally see them in the Midtown and Downtown area. I think Chicago need to have a transit police to make it safer.
I hope those drivers are getting combat pay. I thought this was the one I saw on the news last night where the bus driver was attacked while the bus was literally moving. In some states even if you are being attacked and get out of your seat you are immediately terminated. Their philosophy is that you can put the passengers in danger.
I used to take the Burleigh street bus in Milwuakee...they had 2 security guards standing by the driver.
Wow.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Our city is way to reckless for no bus security . Chicago is even or just as worse , so they should definitely have security on the buses . No excuse for that
As a driver like myself I can't really blame the bus operator for taking matters into his own hands just to go home in one piece because in Los Angeles CA, Metro Operators go through the issues as Chicago, IL. Yet Management claims that they're concerned but in reality, they're not. We're just numbers to them. If an operator gets badly injured or ultimately killed, he's replaced with a quickness and at the end of the day, life goes on. FACTS.
So sad they ain't learning learn from Detroit when all those drivers strike and leave the city with out buses they will see
Over $2.50? That’s crazy
Ooo, that’s a felony offense. That’s a paddling

@@C3Muscle never watched Simpsons, so I wouldn’t know.

Look at the idiots just standing on the bus 🥴🥴
I thought the same how sad to stand there watching a brutal assault take place like they are completely numb to violence and I bet several passengers filmed and will put this on social media.
Exactly 💯🙄
True cowards!!!!!! But would want some one to help them if they were being attacked
I'll walk.
Not in the city of Chicago.
In New York it’s a felony charge to touch MTA employee. I don’t know if the bus drivers in that area have the same protection, but it seems to work here.
Same people, doing the same things.
Stereotypes are truthful.
Yeah they're taking it out on the wrong ppl.
@@AB1B1 , well, if they are never going to change, why should anyone help them ???
They always go back to what they were in the first place.
@@thefucrew9865 Since when has anyone ever tried to help. Last time I checked this type of violence was enacted on them first not the other way around.
@@AB1B1 , you should do just a tiny bit of research, before ignorantly opening your pie hole.

Hell, the Dahomy tribe alone should tell you something.

@@AB1B1 , when has anyone tried to help ???
Ask yourself why all the Democrats...the party 98% of blaqistanians mindlessly support and vote for....are always asking for money for projects and programs to "help" them, from at least the 60's, until present day, and the blacks never get any of it, as the Black politicians get fatter bank accounts.

No longer safe to ride or be a bus driver.

It's your people making it ridiculous. Need some more entitlements? Or is it more babydaddies?
Sounds like the police dropped the ball. They only arrived after citizens started to call what happened to the bus drivers call if they were immediately dispatched he might’ve been OK. Maybe it’s time they do deploy their own police officers..
The bus drivers have a very nasty attitude
Many BUS driver's are RUDE as hell
Allow CCL citizens to carry on public transit
Welcome to the wonderful world of New York City transit
How ridiculous 🤦♀️
Very sad trying to do your job ladies just as bad as the men!!🙏🙏
Yet the black community are saying they don’t receive help in Chicago?!? I’m so tired of this.
Some of these drivers got attitude and they dont even stop for you.
That has nothing to do with the situation
So does that justify the crime then? Unbelievably stupid comment, my god.
@alpaphoenix3252 I think that motive of this couple is something has to do with this driver's ability to have conversation with customers regardless of their ability to pay.
CTA should hire security conducter to force people pay otherwise they won't pay and driver can't operate simultaneously.
Only on 79th.
I’m not surprised
At least they werent on 63rd
I hate when someone gets harmed, and all they do is watch and record. I would have help! We as people need to stop letting folks run us.
Lawless America CBS 2
SMH. The driver should have stopped the bus and requested a supervisor. Requested the passenger to get off the bus. No fare then the Bus ain't moving until you get off.
You don't know the neighborhood. Ain't no supervisor coming out here to these parts of Chi
I thought she said “Jamontarius” bruh I was gonna be so proud somebody with that name made it to an anchor position 😅… “Jermont Terry Is “
As an Operator, I’ll settle for “any” CPD response. Bus Operators in Chicago know that waiting for CPD is a joke!
Bus drivers should shut down with pay for a while so they can see where ignorance will take them
CTA does not have its own police force????? That beyond crazy!!!!
Busiest and one of the most dangerous
$2.50 brawl 😂😂😂😂
They need to install fiber glass partitions around the driver. And have police on major routes, during high traffic times.
Them cta bus drivers be tough asf lmao
79th is wild,,, many of those people don’t have nothing to lose,,
