Boston School Bus Complaint

[qroberts]

So this morning on Mass ave, a small school van came so close to me that I think he/she grazed the valence electrons off my rear view mirror.

I feel like he/she went out of his/her way to buzz me because there was a stopped bus in front of me and the van came over part way, passed very close and then immediately moved back into the left lane.

This happens all the time with cars but the van had mirrors at head level sticking 2 feet off the side.

It was bus number MS119 or MS115.

Does anyone know where / how to register a complaint?

Thanks in advance.

Lou.

Do the buses have a bumper sticker with a complaint number?

School buses in Boston are pretty high on my sh*t list (probably second only to cops). One hit me a while back, or more properly, put itself into a position where I was forced to hit it. It took a left turn across me while I was barreling down a hill and I was damn lucky that I got my handlebars around the back end and only smacked my shoulder against the bus on the way past, which somehow did not throw me from my bike. I turned around and chewed out the driver who just stared at me blankly. Unfortunately, I was too livid to think rationally and write down the bus number.

I really don't understand the mentality of some of the municipal drivers in Boston.

I can have a public works truck come within a foot of me on a two lane road with nobody in the right lane and on a single lane road, a mobile crane manages to give me 3 feet.

I'm convinced that they're more concerned with getting where there going 30 seconds earlier than with our safety. That's why I'm always panning from my rearview to the parked cars to the rearview the entire ride.
