sad to see that he's an apna, but regardless of of his ethnicity i fully agree with the actions taken by the driver. we don't know what exactly led to the argument, but delays in public transit happen and the sardar needs to realize this isn't his household where he may get his way by raising his voice. yelling at the top of your lungs is no way to handle anything especially when you are dealing with a bunch of other peoples lives on the bus. the driver has to follow protocol and may have even taken the yelling as some sort of threat, so bravo on him for standing his ground. im sure he deals with assholes like this everyday in public transit, it's just all of a sudden a "funny" big deal because it happened to be an older apna with an accent that would be great for a viral video.

Lol, i love these viral videos..
Word, Sardars from the older generations just don't realize that yelling doesn't really work like it did back home..AND hes a bus driver who deals with pricks everyday so if he went off on him that means the sardarji must've been rude right off the bat.
Wish this would happen on my way to school LOL

regardless of however the sardar was yelling or whatever the case may be, the bus driver was still out of line with cursing and yelling. Yes, maybe the sardar was out of line by yelling, however being an employee the driver had a responsibility of keeping calm and acting in a professional manner. yelling back at the passenger only makes him even with the passenger.

Customer service 101 - when a customer is angry, let them vent, and then talk calmly after the customer is done venting. yelling back, cursing, and interrupting will only fuel the customer.

if you were to even say that the sardar was at fault in the beginning for yelling, the driver becomes just as much at fault when he yells back.

horrible way of handling the situation.

agreed, but do they reserve the right to lash back at their customers like the driver did in this situation? im pretty sure thats not the case.. referring to what sonuu said, its customer service 101 to deal with the situation professionally, regardless of how crystal clear it is about who's wrong. if the driver had just reacted professionally the situation probably would've been resolved in seconds and i doubt this video would have even been made viral.. just sayinn..


on a side note, some TTC drivers are real assholesss.. its not our fault your not satisfied with your life so stop taking it out on us..
