I was taking the M104 Bus to West 96 St. when some older woman got on and sat down in the Seats Reserved for Disabilities. She had a cane and was happy with the service of the bus driver. However some other passengers complained (all women) that the bus driver was not pulling the bus right up to the bus stop to let the woman with a cane off the bus.

Every bus stop is different and because of parked vehicles in the bus stop, he had to let this woman off a few feet from the curb. Other women loud-mouthed the driver, saying he was not doing his job and this action "would come back to haunt him"

This critique was grossly unfair. So I have the name & number of the driver. He is a very pleasing young man named Lysander Aleus-Ledain #53500 and didn't deserve these cruel criticisms from these other passengers. I carry a cane myself because of arthritis, am 77 years young and will defend this driver who did everything correctly. He is a young man who performs his job well and deserves praise and not these adverse criticisms, if they ever reach the MTA.
