My experience with bus drivers in recent years has been pretty good. Most are pretty nice and wait for a late running passenger, overlook a 5 minute late transfer let people with a sob story ride free etc.
There are a few who are just mean and pull away from a stop with someone running to catch the bus with a red light in front of them and passengers asking them to wait. Same in any occupation I guess.
I have lived in and visited cities where 6 buses a day on a given route is the max and the wait is 2 or more hours. It is pretty upsetting to just miss a bus there I can tell you.
