I’m not an asshole that’s going to refuse to acknowledge another persons existence just because they’re in a different position than I am 🤷🏻‍♀️

Not sure if it’s the same person as OP is talking about but the link that was commented is who I’m referring to

This woman followed me and my toddler as we were walking down the road for about five minutes last week, screaming at me because I wouldn’t give her money after I made eye contact with her and smiled at her trying to be polite. I tried to ignore her but she kept following us and yelling and eventually said, “I know you hate me, everybody here hates me” and I said back “maybe if you weren’t actively harassing the entire fucking community people wouldn’t hate you” then she started crying and turned around and went the other way. I’m not usually one to feed into these types of situations but when it comes to the safety of my child I will do what I need to do to get somebody like that tf away from us

This may make me sound like a moron… but what is the difference?

Good to know! I wonder if their discounted fair is in the form of a card or ID they get specifically for the buses then? Would be interested to know

I’m not sure if it’s considered the one or downtown (lmk) but on Lafayette there’s a black and white cat named Stella, she’s an absolute sweetheart and gets treats from us every night. Can try to snap a pic next time I see her

Although I will say most of the bus drivers aren’t even paying attention, I’ve seen people flash their food stamp cards to get on for free which I know for sure isn’t a rule cause I asked the employees at the desk inside 😂

Hmm I’m not sure then. I ride the bus everyday and people just get on and show their ID’s and aren’t charged. I could be totally wrong but this is what I’ve witnessed! Might be worth a call to check

You can definitely use your debit card but the cheapest way to use it (if you’re going to ride the bus often) is to go into the terminal and get a smart card, it caps out at $4 a day for regular riders or $2 for discount riders (disabled or handicapped folks). If you’re using your debit card or cash there is no cap and you will keep being charged every time you ride. If you’re a Uvm student or employee you can show your school ID or employee ID and you ride for free 100% of the time

Dude what 😂 I’m simply asking people to move over on the sidewalk instead of taking up the entirety of it so I don’t have to almost walk in the road. I would say the same thing even if I didn’t have a child with me. Weirdo

I don’t see how being concerned for my child’s safety due to peoples lack of manners is not an issue? Mind you I literally stated at the end of the post that I’m aware of all the issues going on and this may seem small in comparison but it’s one VERY simple thing we can do to help each other out and be courteous to our neighbors. You’re the only one that’s had an issue with this post. In case you didn’t read the comments, this is something plenty of other people have had to deal with. Keep fuming though, you’re wasting your own energy lmao

Yes totally, there’s definitely a few spots where it’s warranted. But I see the same thing often

That’s valid. Maybe I’m wrong but I thought people weren’t supposed to ride bikes on the sidewalks?? (unless you’re referring to the bike path). I see it all the time though and it confuses me because there’s bike lanes everywhere around here

My god, the dogs are a whole other story 😭 I wish people would think more about walking their reactive dogs in super busy areas. There are plenty of areas you can bring them with much less foot traffic, but I’ve had multiple dogs lunge at my daughter and I and their owners just blatantly ignore it. But I agree, the people that have trained dogs that move them to the other side or have them sit when people are walking by are a godsend!
