That’s crazy because bus drivers never beef with each other. They usually team up to make you late for your destination.

The bus that was straight has a better chance of backing up safely.

"Doesn't get more NY than that"

The fact that both guys drive the same line means they both possibly clashed before in the past working in the same garage or route & it blew up to this as a work confrontation.

Sometimes your biggest enemy....is yourself lol

[misstp]

It takes strength to be the first to yield when it will eliminate a problem. Both acted selfish and inconsiderate.

[funnycide]

This is embarrassing for the MTA and unprofessional behavior of the two drivers.

[lusevizions]

Yea the guy at the end didn’t wanna say a lot of doubled parked cars and trucks and vans blocking stuff .

Sense of entitlement is all time high

Dam both of them got the accordion buses, that's hard to back up.

Reminds me of a certain episode of Seinfeld
😆

If thats the response of the MTA then we can see why the behavior of the drivers is what it is. Two individuals behaving like that at a company in front of customers would lose their job.

Why can't everyone just get along! C'Mon Man!

Reminds me of the Seinfeld episode when George Costanza and Jerry's friend were fighting over the parking spot and all the passerby's were getting involved lol very NYC

[andrewpopov]

Try to drive that big bus day after day... You'll lose it sooner or later )))

[georgewbushcenterforintell]

something about Brooklyn that makes people wanna fight . same with queens maybe it's the air temp or the smell

[SplashAttackTCG]

You gotta love how the MTA is trying to shift blame and not holding the two BABIES driving accountable.

[tonycotto]

You can't make that turn without leaving your side of the road. The supervisors (the City) is the one at fault for approving the route in the first place.

THE WORST DRIVERS ON EARTH LIVE IN BOROPARK

MTA is always perfect, they never do things wrong. Now we know why buses come 3 or 4 at the same time after waiting 40 minutes or more. Buses get crowded "social distance".
