BROOKLYN (CBS) ― Police said a New York City bus driver was stabbed to death Monday afternoon by a rider apparently angry over not receiving a free transfer.
The driver of the B-46 bus, identified as 46-year-old Edwin Thomas, was operating the bus in the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn and picked up the suspect around 12:30 p.m. Monday at Malcolm X Boulevard near Gates Avenue.
Police said the man swiped an invalid fare card and sat down on the bus, then asked for a transfer slip usually available to riders.
After living in the city for over 20 years, I've encountered nice bus drivers like Thomas. Some drivers are cool and let you slide when your card is jammed up, but how are you going to expect a free transfer when you didn't pay in the first place. I hope they find this deranged individual and he gets 25 to life upstate. If this was the early 90's I bet someone on the bus would have pulled a piece on the suspect. This is similar to a case in Canada on the GREYHOUND bus. A you man decapiated another man on the bus. He began stabbing his victim and everyone ran off the bus. The two were locked in and the man proceeded to remove the victims heads and began displaying it to shocked passengers.
