So what are you saying? That salaries in Hootersville are low? Why is that news?
In Portland, drivers are unionized. I don't know what they make per hour, but I can gurantee you it isn't even close to minimum wage. And I can also guarantee you that Portland bus drivers have
great benefits. Same in San Francisco, New York, any big city. Drivers don't get aggressive with cyclists because they're poorly paid; they get aggressive because they can.
