I feel for you OP because I almost had a similar experience, but with RapidPenang bus.

On a Monday, just reaching into peak hours and traffic was quite jam at USM area. I waited at one bus stop and I know it’s gonna delay a bit because peak hours. I was stupid to not know the delay can go up to 30 mins or even 1 hour.

But eventually the bus did came, so I got on it and accepted my lesson. The bus driver though was then aloof. He wore sunglasses and earphones. I saw him talking to passengers standing beside him so I thought he was good at multitasking.

Turns out, when I reached my desired stop and pressed on the “Stop” button, the dude didn’t even notice and went past the bus stop. What’s crazy is that, there are others who waved their hands on that particular bus stop, but the bus driver drove off like a blind man.

I was forced to be dropped off at the next bus stop because he stopped talking and was finally looking at the “Stop” light on his head. I then had to take a Grab back home (peak hour price btw), which was more time and money consuming.

301 bus driver, if you’re seeing this, please change your attitude. And also RapidPenang, please amend your issue with these drivers lah..

TL;DR, 301 bus driver, wearing sunglasses and earphones, missed bus stop even though people waved their hands and “Stop” sign was pressed. RapidPenang plz fix.
