FAQ
Q: why not organize and stop treating the bus as a legitimate entity? why aren’t you working to stop the bus?
A: do both. cut the fuel line. break windows. put oatmeal in the gas tank. but maybe your efforts don’t succeed this election cycle. and if so don’t fucking throw away your vote if it can help your neighbors fucking survive. “harm reduction” is not a political strategy for action. it is a last minute, end of the line decision to save lives, after all other resources have been exhausted.
Buses tend to have an emergency stop that you’re supposed to hit in the event that the driver has like, a heart attack, or something, right?
not in my experience? you may be thinking of trains
I thought I remembered pretty definitively during elementary school that there was like, a big red button next to the bus driver, that the kids were supposed to hit in an emergency, while you were supposed to also steer the bus and keep from crashing in the meantime. I could be wrong, though, or that could not be the case on public buses or buses of other types, I dunno.
Also, the buses did infamously have emergency exit doors, so you could always just open the emergency door in the back of the bus and jump out. That’s probably the other best option, relative to going over a cliff. Road rash can be pretty severe and bad, and you could get a concussion or snap your neck if you don’t know how to do the jump out sideways rolly thing. I dunno though, seems like you could do it probably.

The fact you know so little about buses is a testament to america’s failed public transportation.
