Rude comments to Mears Drivers

[localdriver]

1) Sometimes you have to educate people
2) Let's look at this from a passenger view
. . . this is a bus, not a limo or taxi
. . . neither Greyhound or Trailways drivers get tips
. . . city transit drivers don't get tips
. . . airline pilots don't get tips (I did tip 25-cents once)
. . . why should MEARS get a tip

the obvious answer is none of the above loads and unloads 1500lbs of luggage per trip of 40 to 50 people like the shuttle bus drivers do.

Of course, a comfortable safe trip, courtesy, and professionalism should also be considered.
