I ride the smtd daily and let me say..not once but twice my children have been shut in the bus door the most recent was wed the 11-11-09 my 7yr old daughter and I was getting off down town at the stop exiting the back door the closed the door on my daughter I then pulled the door open off my daughters leg she said it hurt a little but she was fine then she said...mom your strong you pulled the door open I laughed a few weeks prior a man about 70 somethin pulled the string to get off the bus the bus driver stoped the bus so hard and fast he nearly knocked the old man down a few feet later a man was helping me get my 2yr old boy off the bus cause he was in a stoller when the back door shut on the man he said to the driver hey he then opened the door well the next thing you know the door slamms back shut on my son and a woman on the bus shouts hey you just closed her baby in the door the driver then opens it...why wasnt those people suspended no instead you waste your stupid time on some one wearing a pink tie...NICE
