Some bus systems have bullshit anti-homeless policies against people riding to the end of the line and then staying on when the bus returns in the other direction. I wasn't aware that GRTC had that policy, but maybe they do? Either way, it's annoying and the driver should just let you get on the bus rather than endangering your life crossing a road without a crosswalk.

Also, it's awful that there's no crosswalk near your stop :(.

All I can afford right now is to wish Noah luck, as this is going to be an uphill battle. From all of the trademark lawsuits that I've read over the past two decades, ranging from small breweries to clothing, I think only one was successful in arguing that their logo was different enough that the case was tossed, and that 'C' style they're using has been trademarked by Cleveland baseball since 1915. Even the companies that argued fair use under parody exceptions have failed in each of the cases I've read about...

...so, here's hoping that Noah and Charged become the 2nd case I'm following that will succeed...

The police claimed the kid headbutt the officer. It wasn’t written in the report and there doesn’t seem to be any evidence to back it up.

That’s why the mother is asking what happened.

We know police lie. Police are allowed to lie. Police aren’t required to protect people. Police will protect themselves.

Is it possible that the driver knows that you are staying on from the end of one route to the beginning of another (when it loops around) and that they don't necessarily always loop around? Like say their shift ends or they have a break and another bus take over the route. I don't ride that much but it doesn't seem totally unreasonable that they would consider each direction a separate route, and have a reason or policy against letting people just stay on.
