Hybrid Bus Disappointment Spurred Bite

2009_01_hybus.jpg An update on the incident where a passenger on the M104 bus bit the driver: According to the driver, the woman was upset his bus wasn't a hybrid. The Daily News spoke to driver Peter Williams, who said, "She came on the bus, and she said she waited more than an hour for a hybrid. I said, 'I'm not in control of what bus is assigned to me.'" That's when Shelia Bolar yelled at him and then went for his arm: "Bolar chomped through a jacket, a sweater and a thick shirt, causing a bruise and swelling but not breaking skin." (Her niece told the News earlier this week that her aunt is "little... She likes attention. She's going to do whatever's gonna get her the most attention.") Bolar, who is being held without bail, is scheduled to undergo a psychiatric exam.

That bus driver should be ashamed of himself for not driving a hybrid. He's probably not a vegan either.

Bus wasn't a hybrid? OK, this all makes sense to me now.

This must have been a bus foamer. They can be a bit nuts.

The city is loaded with nasty old maids.

She should be let loose in the Bronx to bite the drivers who don't do anything about people getting on through the back door & skipping on the fare.

Hybrid thing was an excuse, most likely she has a crush on the bus driver and tried her hardest to express her true feelings.
