TikTok user @abercado shared how she was the only person waiting at a bus stop recently and was standing up to wait for her bus to stop.
However, the bus drove off without stopping for her as the woman wondered what she did wrong for be “rejected” by the driver.
She said in her video that she was waiting at the bus stop for bus number 2 for about 9 minutes when she saw the bus approaching in the distance, and she then stood at the front fo the bus stop by the road to get ready to board the bus.
She had thought that the bus would stop for her and didn’t flag it down, but the bus then drove past her without even slowing down despite her standing right in front.
Confused at what had just happened, she asked if it was her fault for not physically flagging down the bus by raising her hand out to show the bus.
She said that she believed the driver had deliberately driven off, and that the bus was driving at the usual speed and now slowing down for her bus stop.
However, she did note that her bus stop was a relatively quiet one and it might’ve been normal for the captain the skip that bus stop.
