I’ve seen some craziness as a passenger on our Valley Metro system and I appreciate and respect all your hard work. You guys deserve a lot more. This lady is going to be disappointed in life if she doesn’t change her high maintenance ways. Stay safe.😎
@@bodazephyr6629 It is a job that is hard to learn, and can be difficult at times, but once I learned to be comfortable driving the bus, it was no longer a "hard job". It is a job with a lot of responsibilities, and that requires a lot of constant attention, but it isn't hard. I'm paid very well to drive nice people around. I drive in a big circle all night. Most people are very nice to me, or they ignore me - and I'm fine with either.
As a bus operator for SEPTA I can safely say that because of this career, I was able to pay off my house and buy a brand new vehicle. People are entitled to their opinions, but don’t belittle the working man because of his career choice. She’s the type of female that give some black queens a bad look. But her opinion doesn’t matter to me, I’ve been off the market for years now with a beautiful fiancée, 4yo daughter and one one the way.
I drive the 33 out of Allegheny Depot and I live in Packer Park South Philly and drive a brand new SUV and always have cash in my pocket and all my bills are paid. I love my job at SEPTA. I bring home more then most of my friends that have college degrees, I have a GED
Eboni K. Williams seems to appear as a woman, not a lady, who could be described as a "gold digger," because she could be avaricious and loveless but to her own self.
Calling a woman who makes $3 million a year gold digger? I think you saw how much your momma had to work because of her poor choices, so now think other women should lower their standards?🤡
I've been "mediocre" for 35 years, driving a bus for SEPTA in Philadelphia! My "wife" and family consider me to be far from mediocre! I'm loved and respected by them for being a man of great work ethic, character and integrity. Women like Ms. Williams are the kind that degrade others throughout their lives, never finding true happiness, ending up old and alone. Quality people aren't measured by financial wealth. Ms. Williams is a prime example of that. 😉💯
City bus driver here…….This woman will be single for the rest of her life! She’s living in a fantasy world. As for the job of driving a bus, I have never met so many women, at any job, I’ve ever had. Oh and it’s nothing to make over 100k a year with all the overtime available.
@@alhi6240 I can legally drive 60hrs/wk. 20 hrs of that are paid @$50/hr. I could easily (long days, no weekends) bring home almost $8k/month. Top rate (5yr) drivers with my company would make $60/hr for that OT.
If everyone makes 100k, then 100K would be the average. 100K puts you in a great position. My uncle drove for the MBTA, bought a house, remodel his kitchen, sent all three of my cousins to college, I mean he's killing it!
I've been driving busses going on 17 years and during my time I've come realize that there isn't a job in this world I'd rather do. I am fortunate enough to be in a city big enough for the system but small enough where you can get a chance to get to know the good people of the community. The biggest joy of this job for me is working with the special needs and mentoring them. When it comes to the words of the pretentious they usually fall on deaf ears and thanks to this job I've developed the ability to do so 😂
I know so many women who wasted their entire life waiting for a rich man now they are aging into mid 40s and single alone … instead of being with a good looking guy who makes good money and make you laugh and is always there for you is priceless
They grow into witches. Its a deep conversation to be had. The waste family creating years for various reasons, but the main one is because they need to one up each other. What other women think of her mate scares her.
I'm married to my wife who have autism and she always held it down for me when I'm at work, she works at home on her laptop and cooking me dinner before I go to work. I don't need a woman like Eboni K. My female cousin can't stand the fact that I'm not married to a black woman and married to a white woman, I told her that I'm married to a good woman that had my back from day 1.
Ok, then why isn't she married to lawyer since she is also a lawyer? There are plenty of single, male lawyers, no shortage there. Also, why do so many people in America confuse their net worth with their self worth?
The men she wants dont want her. This is why she is swinging down. She can't land a punch swinging up. She is a reject attempting to reject innocent men.
I drive entertainer coaches as a side hustle...it pays ridiculously well. I spent 20 years in the Air Force turning wrenches on big jets...retired from the military, got a CDL and I love driving big buses. Started off driving seated charter motorcoaches 7 years ago.
As a bus driver, I would not date the majority of the drivers where I work for two reasons - 1. I'm already married and I don't think my wife would approve and 2. See point one.
Bus driving jobs are stable jobs. You’re not going to get rich. Even with a life of abundance won’t make you happy. I could easily accept the fact women like her wouldn’t want me. I would much rather have a humble woman.
I know bus drivers here in Chicago making up to 120,000 a year with a pension. I have been driving transit buses for over 20 years and I have no problem getting women who make good money.
Mind me not asking. How much ot does cta drivers get in a day. As far as the city of chicago. Can you get get a good amount of ot in that position too.
What Eboni was saying is, it's ok to treat me like crap, just so as long as you make $$$$$$$$$$. Someone should also reminder her, that when the pandemic first hit, which profession was considered "essential". How's that for mediocrity.
You can be an ‘essential worker’ and be mediocre at the same time. Mediocre just means of moderate quality, not very good. In fact, you can be a mediocre bus driver, or a mediocre lawyer. People’s negative reactions to Eboni basically revealed how they feel about THEMSELVES.
@@timoneek444not.! She degraded every man that drives a bus she spoke down on them. I grew up looking at the men in my family employed as bus drivers garbage man cook janitor teachers and military and if I remember correctly the bus drivers and garbage man made more money even today depending on the state and or area garbage men can make $600-700 a day
Yet she has all this power and influence to be in rooms with men of her status and yet she STILL SINGLE! Even the ones on her level, DON’T WANT HER! Says more about the person than the bus driver…
@@LADYJAYY19788 last I read, she WAS married which “was” means married equal divorced and has since gotten engaged and that was called off too. TRY AGAIN! Which would make sense because why would Iyanla Vanzant ask a “married woman” would you date a bus driver? Make it make sense…
@@andrechristian997 Right. The HIGH VALUE MEN she thinks she qualifies for DON'T WANT HER. K-Sam said it and it's true: HVMs don't need a woman's degrees, income, or status. That's why 88% of high-earning women date or marry men who make far less. HVM don't want them.
I once dated a city bus driver who made over $90,000. He loved his job and he cared for the passengers that got on his bus. I never once asked how much money he made. He voluntarily told me. As long as a man is hard working and consistent, that’s what important to me.
Way to go in defending the dignity of labor! Where would the rich and famous be without workers? They'd have no clothes, no shoes, no make-up, no food, no water, no gas, no car, no golf clubs, no toilet, no big home to live in and no way to make money. All power to the workers. The only social force that can lift society out of the crises!
@Derrick Fisher Jr. You are abundantly blessed. Being a bus operator is a decent and an honest occupation. It is dignified, important and necessary. The only occupations that know of as being low are bartenders, casino workers, liquor store owners, smoke shop owners, because they are unsatisfactory to the community. Your occupation as a bus operator should have been complimented.
@Derrick Fisher Jr. Do what you love and love what you do. I do so while I am declared retired. I do business productivity by creating documents and files that can be printed on to paper and mailed electronically. Thank you for typing to me.
as a bus driver, I can see why people dont like dating bus drivers, we have shifts that do not have good compatibility with what most people expect,. for example I run the last bus from old orchard to Howard station on Sundays, which means with the deadhead back to the garage, I wont get back to the house before 2am. and if traffic or stuff happens, it could be even later. Having schedule that rotates every 3 months. not being able to have weekends off, I get why some people might not want to date me cause of schedule. that being said, being able to keep my job at pace means that I do not do drugs, I am self disciplined enough to show up to work on time every day. and I make a minimum of 6 hours of overtime a week. plus can easy take extra trips to get even more OT. starting pay its 25.68 an hour, and it goes up to 33 an hour. also get a good looking uniform. so clearly I am someone who would have value on the dating market if you can put up with the difficult schedule and limited social life.
God bless you, brother. I have a degree, and am a former radio host and editor. Those fields don't make money anymore, so I chose to get a CDL and apply those skills I learned in media and hotels to shuttles and charters. I have sisters on my social media with degrees who hop from job to job whilst pursuing "entrepreneurial" larks they never stick with. They just don't know
Well, i kept three kids fed on a bus driver wages. We were not using private schools and taking annual oversea holidays but we had what we needed. I am transit train driver today so I wonder if that makes me fit to date now lol
Anyone working an honest day's job and supporting him/herself is to be respected. Eboni seems to believe that she is all that and a cup of tea. Which she is not. She is entitled to her opinion, but I think she is selling herself short by minimizing the hardworking men who are blue collar.
Word! Getting up everyday and working hard to support yourself and your family, while providing a service to the community, is something to be admired. This lady Eboni is out of touch with the real world.
I'm a bus driver and I don't want to date or married another bus driver. I'm not even mad at Eboni because she's entitled to her opinion to like what she likes. If she is a millionaire then she wants a man that is a millionaire. I enjoy driving buses up here in Chicago because I get to enjoy a good vacation and I also owned a bus myself which is a Gillig BRT diesel.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and opinions on this video Bus Driver Life. I learn to understand that not everyone is gonna be rich millionaires. I'm just a working class person who work hard for what I want in life. Most people don't understand that bus drivers have a job outside of driving buses.
You are right. She does have the right to date whoever she wants . However at her age (almost 40) she won’t get a high value man to take her seriously. Some bus drivers make between 50k to even 100k a year depending on the city they drive in .
I would rather my daughter date and marry a bus driver who pays his bills and provides for his family, than a famous rapper or Lawyer who ignored his family and was a deadbeat. would rather her have a man at home playing X Box with his kids than stepping out on them.
As a bus driver for Capital Metro in Austin, TX, she is too picky and that mentality she has to not expand her dating horizon is gonna keep her single for a GOOD WHILE. High standards are a sure path to loneliness, my prayers are with her. Most of us bus driver are very great people and make great money. Good review Keewan, keep it up because I agree with all you said
I want to curse so bad what the hell is this woman talking about I know bus drivers who make a boat load of money got a house and two cars and they say they love it they are theoretically they own boss they love it and they get to see other areas I don't see anything wrong in that now woman like this wonder why relationships can't last and if women having trouble finding men all the time it's not the man fault it's her own fault it's not us it's you this some bs I'm sorry if the man loves driving a bus and he can take care of himself and his family what is the damn problem apparently a job defined the heart this is so damn pathetic bus drivers get nice benefits and union job to that woman act like she never took a bus in her life my goodness
I'm a proud school bus driver and occasional truck driver. I am doing quite well and have no interest in someone who puts financial (or social hierarchical) gain over human relationship. Be it a romantic, familial, or casual relationship, I'm not interested.
Love your perspective. I’m starting my bus journey and I thought the same thing too. I’m in my early 30’s no kids yet and getting into this career is going to be the best financial choice I’ve made. I would hope a “high value man” who has more than me doesn’t see me as less than. Have a seat at the table if you’re bringing something to it 🤷🏾♀️💰
With the bus operators, people must either choose to pay for expensive transportation that could be able to transport passengers up against a brick wall, instead of from origin to destination. People will agree that you are usually safer riding the bus than driving a motor vehicle, or even paying too much fare or a ride in a cab, whether a taxi cab or a livery cab.
I'm not married at Eboni for what she wants in a man, i wish nothing but the best for her. I wouldn't date or married another bus driver. My wife is an upper class woman because she grew up in the burbs around upper class family and we are still married.
forgot to mention this the first time, but also in line training, I had a Female customer hit on me calling me her "baby daddy" while it did make me uncomfortable, it does prove her arguments to be false. bus drivers are attractive.
The video is excellent. Our office is mobile. We drive vehicles that cost more than 250k. We meet different people, from different professions. Among the bus drivers there are also lawyers, managers, bakers, hospital workers,... people who left their jobs in one way or another. She obviously has not met any bus driver or had a bad experience. Who flies high falls low!!!
So many women like her where I live on Long Island (and NY in general) sadly. People need to stop judging others by how much money they make and what they do. It should be about the content of one's character. Can't stand these snobby women. Hard to find any woman who's down to Earth these days. This white collar superiority complex just makes me SMH. Some people have disabilities and can't work at all. So I guess we should just be single all our lives. I'm 47 & still single, sadly, because I'm in that latter group.
I am impressed by how magnanimous you are towards this woman. Seems like it’s all about appearances to her (and well, yes, money) and I pity the fool who gets stuck with her and her high-and-mighty attitude. I’m a woman, and I was a city bus driver in Minneapolis/St. Paul for 21 years and it gave me a paycheck that I could more than live on (but boy did I earn it) and I hardly worked any overtime. Now I’m retired and really thankful for that pension. I wonder if Eboni is putting any money away for retirement or expecting some sugar daddy to foot the bill for her lifestyle.
Ill never forget when a guy tried to belittle me by saying " the wheels on the bus go round & round".. I said, "That check goes round & round too." Mind you, he worked in maintenance 😂
Bus drivers in my city average between 70k to 100k a year and the median salary in our state is 55k. Plus benefits you don't get with most employers like accrued sick and vacation, longevity, great health care benefits. We're rock stars.😂😂
She clearly has absent father trauma which was malicious parent syndrome (mom denigrating men around her). She also is using a superiority complex as a deflection to try and preemptively reject these men who she probably don't even think will love her because she doesnt see herself as worthy of love.
@Bus Driver Life, first of all, greetings from Medellín-Colombia. I have to tell you that the social impact of this video is huge, for you are making realize people that these type of blue collar jobs are great, as well as their drivers. You are bringing on what a stereotype Is,but making people most conscious about the positive side of the drivers. Thank you for making me know your perspective, you are so respectful and your content is entartaining and funny. ¡Keep up the great job! ¡God Bless you, your family and all your passengers!
Hey Keywan. Public Transit operators, in my opinion, make a decent, honest wage. Add in all of that FORCED OT, and we're well over 100k a year. People like Ebony, I don't think will ever be happy! Money doesn't buy everything!
The occupation of bus driver or operator is not low as that of a server at a food restaurant, store cashier, or such that requires no high school diploma or higher education degree. Bus operators who operate municipal buses are paid an honest salary that is usually better than work in the private sector. Also, the job security is solid and better than jobs in the private sector. A [gentle]man, even women who are bus operatresses are better off than even the executives who manage, own, and work in jobs that offer salaries close to municipal workers, and they are usually temporary. There is no shame in this game.
Wow!! Thank you!! Also..congratulations!! Stay safe out there in Chi-town! One of my favorite cities..I’m originally from Milwaukee, Wisconsin so Chicago is the BIG city to us!
Nothing to do with what you do for a living. It's who the person is. Not what he does. How about liking the person for who they are, not how much they earn. As for anyone with that kind of attitude, I would have no interest. I just take them out with the rest of the trash. She has one thing going for her, she is nice-looking. So much for nice looks.
Indeed, people have preferences, in ALL matters of life. Unfortunately, there are influencers who tag one's personal preferences as hateful or racist, when nothing further could be from the truth. He ain't lying!
4:45pm San Francisco - I have upmost respect for Bus Drivers - they keep our city moving rain or shine! It’s not an easy job and the pay should reflect the difficulty ! Appreciate your research and clever entertaining way of expressing your thoughts . Keep on telling it like it is.
I drove a bus, worked a ton of ot and had my house paid off when I was 38, put three kids through college and retired at 62 and life never looked so good! MCTS 31.00 per hour.
So as a bus driver I really don’t ever meet people to potentially date but then again I’m not there to meet I’m there to drive the bus and deliver my passengers safely. I guess I’m ok with being mediocre if you want to call us that.
There is no shame in committing yourself to being a public servant. There is more honor in being a servant. There is no honor in being served. She is someone who is high maintenance and wants someone to serve her. To that I say BLAH😢. Those who commit to serving get far more respect. Life isn't how much we made its how much we gave. We should commit to giving not getting
As a Transit Bus Operator for NYCT Transit, I'm proud of being a bus operator. What that woman said about bus operators being mediocre is a good example how very little people from the outside perspective of bus operators understand our world. Sadly, people do look down at this career and some event think its even a dead end job, which is absolutely far from the truth. This career is a decent living and in addition to that, you can also take promotional exams as a bus operator to become a dispatcher, and then go up to superintendent and other positions when you meet those requirements and their salaries are much higher. So to call bus operators mediocre is really show much limited understanding their is about us bus operators their are in the public. If she doesn't want to date a bus operator, that's her choice, but I sure as hell wouldn't dare to stay something like that out in the public, let alone social media. Once you say something like that outside in the public, its out there and you open up a real can on controversy on yourself. She should've kept what she said to herself.
I am a truck driver and I love driving! As a truck driver I make 2200 a week and I know bus drivers who are making 32 dollars an hour and they are living a good lifestyle.
Keyshawn, I was waiting for you to comment on this. Yes, people can date whomever they want. But you also have to be open to certain romantic partners. I am not saying to settle, just be open. For example, if a woman who had a white-collar position met a nice, attractive man who was kind to her. He was intelligent, witty and ambitious. But he had a blue-collar job, should she reject him because of that? There is nothing wrong with having standards, but sometimes those standards can be found in people or places you wouldn't expect. Besides, a bus driver's salary isn't anything to sneeze at. They tend to make really good money. They don't make Apple CEO money, but they make a comfortable living.
I'm so thankful for my job. That has become a career, takes care of my family, pays our bills, gives us a good retirement, gives us medical benefits. I wonder what this woman does how she pays for her medical. Or is she just depending on finding charitable donations? 😅🎉
As someone who’s a transit fan, aspires to be a bus operator, even take on a major in college of Transportation Systems, it kinda hit below the belt to hear that she wouldn’t date someone like that unless they own the bus. I think I take a lil more personally because it’s something that I want to do since I was a kid and I’m almost there and all kinds of people drives buses likewise as those who ride it. And with public transportation on the up and up it’s gonna be more operators in the profession
It’s ok for some women like that to impress their opinion, but once a guy expresses his opinion it’s wrong. If bus driving makes you happy then her opinion is just a fart in the wind and you just be you my brother. Respect ✊🏾
I'm surprised by the level of ignorance from folks who say being a bus operator is a lazy job. If the outside looking in it may appear to be a lazy job but it's very far from that. Not are you only responsible for the lifes that get on your vehicle, you're also responsible for the people out side of your vehicle too. You have to worry about the bad drivers out there that make our days even more stressful. It's more than driving from point A to point B. Sometimes you start as one route and end as another and have to shuttle out of service to the new starting point. Not to mention accident reports need all details concerning the accident you may be involved in. That doesn't just count collisions but slip and falls on your vehicle too. So before you criticize us operators for having an "easy job" how about you apply and try it out for yourself before criticizing others career choices. Because some chose a more physical demanding job doesn't give you more brownie points. All and all work is work.
A little FYI. The vast majority of Generational Wealth in the Black Community started with average hard working people. "Stupid is , is what Stupid does "
I live in New York City- I take buses everyday and see and speak with many MTA bus drivers. Aside from the fact that they are some of the nicest people I meet on a daily basis, they have one of the most stressful jobs you can imagine. Try driving a bus through crazy New York city traffic with as*hole motorists on a daily basis and having to deal with angry, impatient passengers about things such as delays and traffic which are totally beyond your control- especially in Manhattan- without losing your sanity. THAT alone makes bus driving far, far from a 'mediocre' job. Also unfortunately here in New York and I suppose elsewhere it's become a dangerous job as well, with violence and assaults against bus drivers occurring regularly in all five boroughs of New York - a truly tragic and pathetic situation. A kind word of understanding when boarding or getting off a bus wouldn't be too much to ask...
I once dated a bus driver many years ago, and over the years, I've had numerous encounters with bus drivers both as a passenger and as a fellow driver on the road. While I have great respect for the work they do, I have come to realize that dating a city bus driver isn't something I would choose for myself. The primary reason is the demanding nature of their job. City bus drivers often work very long hours, which leaves them with little free time. Their schedules can be erratic, making it difficult to plan quality time together. Additionally, the job offers limited autonomy, as they must adhere to strict routes and schedules, which can add to their stress and fatigue. Given these factors, I feel that the lifestyle and work commitments of a city bus driver aren't conducive to building a fulfilling and balanced relationship, at least for me personally.
I am a retired Muni bus driver and currently a paratransit bus driver promoted to Road Supervisor and I love it. Too bad and so sad for her because she'll never know the realities of being real. I know bus driver's who are millionaires who became millionaires driving for Muni. Yes they made some good investments but they did it with bus driver money. I was and I am still a bonafide bus driver good at what I do. When I retired my annually salary was $120,000 yes.! Maya Angelo drove Muni. Y'all don't sleep on bus driving jobs. Muni. VTA. ACTransit. Bauers. And the list goes on. My fellow bus driver I ❤ you in spirit and on wheels rolling continued blessings and you continue blessing your passengers by driving that bus trust me they appreciate YOU.!
I'm a caregiver for developmentally disabled adults. I personally would love to date a lady in my field simply because they understand. I know financially we don't make a lot. But money and careers should not determine who you date. Date someone for who they are and not what they have
I know many people at my garage who bring home checks at 4k every 2 weeks, so over 2k a week. the OT is their for people to take and even still we have canceled trips so its easy to get more OT if you want it.
Women like the one who was questioned about dating a bus driver really isn't worth the time to pursue. Beauty is only skin deep, and she would be a very expensive date. I'd rather date a woman who has integrity...meaning not only interested in prestige or money.
I started driving in Phoenix 3.5 yrs ago. I enjoy the job. I also have a masters degree in elementary education. I make more as a driver than I would as a teacher. And in1.5 yes I'll make a little more than my brother (who needed a degree for his job). And it took him 10 yes to get to what I'll get after 5yrs. He can't get overtime because its too expensive for his company. I can get upto 30hrs a week overtime if I want it. Who's better off in the long run???? I'm not a looser or low class or uneducated. My coworkers are awesome despite some passenger opinions.
CTA Bus operators, Bus servicers, Bus Clerks, Rail Clerks, , Managers, Train operators, Controllers, Switchmen, Tower workers, Trackmen, Flaggers, and on and on... Are all getting paid. Plus a pension with as little as 10 years of service. Alot of Lawyers have to keep working well into their 60's and 70's cause alot of them don't have pensions. Working at CTA is tough. But we can retire at 55 with full pension and medical with 26 years of service.
Haha as the bus driver, hell no I do not want the headaches of owning the bus and surely not dating her, that would be added stress.
😂😂😂 period
Exactly, you would be unequally yoked!

My dad used to day don't miss the boat waiting on a yacht. The older I get the more it makes sense.
They grow into witches. Its a deep conversation to be had. The waste family creating years for various reasons, but the main one is because they need to one up each other. What other women think of her mate scares her.
I'm married to my wife who have autism and she always held it down for me when I'm at work, she works at home on her laptop and cooking me dinner before I go to work. I don't need a woman like Eboni K. My female cousin can't stand the fact that I'm not married to a black woman and married to a white woman, I told her that I'm married to a good woman that had my back from day 1.
I understand what you are saying, but black women don't just appear they are also created by black men. It's genetics, science.
@@jerrypeukert5732 🛑 stop right there ! We all don't create feminist idiots 💥💯💥
Ok, then why isn't she married to lawyer since she is also a lawyer? There are plenty of single, male lawyers, no shortage there.
Also, why do so many people in America confuse their net worth with their self worth?
THANK YOU💜💜 FOR YOUR EXCELLENT ANSWER 💜💜
The men she wants dont want her. This is why she is swinging down. She can't land a punch swinging up. She is a reject attempting to reject innocent men.
I drive entertainer coaches as a side hustle...it pays ridiculously well. I spent 20 years in the Air Force turning wrenches on big jets...retired from the military, got a CDL and I love driving big buses. Started off driving seated charter motorcoaches 7 years ago.
As a bus driver, I would not date the majority of the drivers where I work for two reasons - 1. I'm already married and I don't think my wife would approve and 2. See point one.

@@whidbeyrules5566 now this is funny..love it!
Bus driving jobs are stable jobs. You’re not going to get rich. Even with a life of abundance won’t make you happy. I could easily accept the fact women like her wouldn’t want me. I would much rather have a humble woman.
I know bus drivers here in Chicago making up to 120,000 a year with a pension. I have been driving transit buses for over 20 years and I have no problem getting women who make good money.
Depending on how much OT you want to put in. You can make way more than that
@wendellpolley5987 you are absolutely right, but now I'm a truck driver for the City of Chicago, and I make much more money now .
Mind me not asking. How much ot does cta drivers get in a day. As far as the city of chicago. Can you get get a good amount of ot in that position too.
@wendellpolley5987 as much as you want the need drivers
Thanks for replying
What Eboni was saying is, it's ok to treat me like crap, just so as long as you make $$$$$$$$$$. Someone should also reminder her, that when the pandemic first hit, which profession was considered "essential". How's that for mediocrity.
I wish I would have typed that comment myself. 🙂
That’s not what Eboni said ... that’s how you felt
You can be an ‘essential worker’ and be mediocre at the same time. Mediocre just means of moderate quality, not very good. In fact, you can be a mediocre bus driver, or a mediocre lawyer. People’s negative reactions to Eboni basically revealed how they feel about THEMSELVES.
@@thisqueenwontquit9699 she did say that now you want too lie for her,if you are choking can & will Eboni save you 🤔yes or no ⁉️
@@timoneek444not.! She degraded every man that drives a bus she spoke down on them. I grew up looking at the men in my family employed as bus drivers garbage man cook janitor teachers and military and if I remember correctly the bus drivers and garbage man made more money even today depending on the state and or area garbage men can make $600-700 a day
bus drivers....I am soooo grateful for them, they put up with ALOT
❤️
Yet she has all this power and influence to be in rooms with men of her status and yet she STILL SINGLE! Even the ones on her level, DON’T WANT HER! Says more about the person than the bus driver…
See..that’s a point I wanted to make BUT this isn’t that kind of channel..🤣🤣
She married try again
@@LADYJAYY19788 last I read, she WAS married which “was” means married equal divorced and has since gotten engaged and that was called off too. TRY AGAIN! Which would make sense because why would Iyanla Vanzant ask a “married woman” would you date a bus driver? Make it make sense…
@@andrechristian997 Right. The HIGH VALUE MEN she thinks she qualifies for DON'T WANT HER. K-Sam said it and it's true: HVMs don't need a woman's degrees, income, or status. That's why 88% of high-earning women date or marry men who make far less. HVM don't want them.
Yep! The men she wants, don't want her. So now she's left with just attempting to shit on men she doesn't want. Sad
I once dated a city bus driver who made over $90,000. He loved his job and he cared for the passengers that got on his bus. I never once asked how much money he made. He voluntarily told me. As long as a man is hard working and consistent, that’s what important to me.
You're right! Some of my coworkers make over $100,000 yearly! I love at my job and look at it as ministry!!! I love "my people"!!!
You are a legend…it’s a great win for the transport industry to have you working in this sector
Wow! Thank you!!
she's already past the wall, she may find the error in her ways the hard way. she might end up 50 years old alone and with 4 cats.
Way to go in defending the dignity of labor! Where would the rich and famous be without workers? They'd have no clothes, no shoes, no make-up, no food, no water, no gas, no car, no golf clubs, no toilet, no big home to live in and no way to make money. All power to the workers. The only social force that can lift society out of the crises!
All the rich and famous people who are greedy would have alone.
@Derrick Fisher Jr. You are abundantly blessed. Being a bus operator is a decent and an honest occupation. It is dignified, important and necessary. The only occupations that know of as being low are bartenders, casino workers, liquor store owners, smoke shop owners, because they are unsatisfactory to the community. Your occupation as a bus operator should have been complimented.
@Derrick Fisher Jr. Do what you love and love what you do. I do so while I am declared retired. I do business productivity by creating documents and files that can be printed on to paper and mailed electronically. Thank you for typing to me.
as a bus driver, I can see why people dont like dating bus drivers, we have shifts that do not have good compatibility with what most people expect,. for example I run the last bus from old orchard to Howard station on Sundays, which means with the deadhead back to the garage, I wont get back to the house before 2am. and if traffic or stuff happens, it could be even later. Having schedule that rotates every 3 months. not being able to have weekends off, I get why some people might not want to date me cause of schedule. that being said, being able to keep my job at pace means that I do not do drugs, I am self disciplined enough to show up to work on time every day. and I make a minimum of 6 hours of overtime a week. plus can easy take extra trips to get even more OT. starting pay its 25.68 an hour, and it goes up to 33 an hour. also get a good looking uniform. so clearly I am someone who would have value on the dating market if you can put up with the difficult schedule and limited social life.
I've been waiting for your opinion on this, and thank you for sharing and bringing this to the bus life community!
I appreciate you bro!
God bless you, brother. I have a degree, and am a former radio host and editor. Those fields don't make money anymore, so I chose to get a CDL and apply those skills I learned in media and hotels to shuttles and charters. I have sisters on my social media with degrees who hop from job to job whilst pursuing "entrepreneurial" larks they never stick with. They just don't know
Well, i kept three kids fed on a bus driver wages. We were not using private schools and taking annual oversea holidays but we had what we needed. I am transit train driver today so I wonder if that makes me fit to date now lol
Anyone working an honest day's job and supporting him/herself is to be respected. Eboni seems to believe that she is all that and a cup of tea. Which she is not. She is entitled to her opinion, but I think she is selling herself short by minimizing the hardworking men who are blue collar.
Exactly 💯 if she was all that every man in America and the world would know who she is,she wanted working class people to know he dum she is 🤣
Word! Getting up everyday and working hard to support yourself and your family, while providing a service to the community, is something to be admired. This lady Eboni is out of touch with the real world.
I'm a bus driver and I don't want to date or married another bus driver. I'm not even mad at Eboni because she's entitled to her opinion to like what she likes. If she is a millionaire then she wants a man that is a millionaire. I enjoy driving buses up here in Chicago because I get to enjoy a good vacation and I also owned a bus myself which is a Gillig BRT diesel.
How refreshing... a channel that recognizes "Ladies" and "Gentlemen"!!!! I found the right crowd.
Most of the people who own a bus are living in it.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and opinions on this video Bus Driver Life. I learn to understand that not everyone is gonna be rich millionaires. I'm just a working class person who work hard for what I want in life. Most people don't understand that bus drivers have a job outside of driving buses.
You are right. She does have the right to date whoever she wants . However at her age (almost 40) she won’t get a high value man to take her seriously. Some bus drivers make between 50k to even 100k a year depending on the city they drive in .
I would rather my daughter date and marry a bus driver who pays his bills and provides for his family, than a famous rapper or Lawyer who ignored his family and was a deadbeat.
would rather her have a man at home playing X Box with his kids than stepping out on them.
As a bus driver for Capital Metro in Austin, TX, she is too picky and that mentality she has to not expand her dating horizon is gonna keep her single for a GOOD WHILE. High standards are a sure path to loneliness, my prayers are with her. Most of us bus driver are very great people and make great money. Good review Keewan, keep it up because I agree with all you said
Her mom's was a bus driver
Eboni is not thinking with a full deck. She has been using the wrong head. Go ahead and laugh!😀
@@captainkeyboard1007 I agree with you 100%
I want to curse so bad what the hell is this woman talking about I know bus drivers who make a boat load of money got a house and two cars and they say they love it they are theoretically they own boss they love it and they get to see other areas I don't see anything wrong in that now woman like this wonder why relationships can't last and if women having trouble finding men all the time it's not the man fault it's her own fault it's not us it's you this some bs I'm sorry if the man loves driving a bus and he can take care of himself and his family what is the damn problem apparently a job defined the heart this is so damn pathetic bus drivers get nice benefits and union job to that woman act like she never took a bus in her life my goodness
@@miahlansky5550 smh
The question is: Wich real man want to date a woman like that? Im not for sure
Well, as a guy who doesn’t have any experience in dating, her opinions does not help my cause whatsoever, even though I have job security at MTA. 🤷♂️
I'm a proud school bus driver and occasional truck driver. I am doing quite well and have no interest in someone who puts financial (or social hierarchical) gain over human relationship. Be it a romantic, familial, or casual relationship, I'm not interested.
Love your perspective. I’m starting my bus journey and I thought the same thing too. I’m in my early 30’s no kids yet and getting into this career is going to be the best financial choice I’ve made. I would hope a “high value man” who has more than me doesn’t see me as less than. Have a seat at the table if you’re bringing something to it 🤷🏾♀️💰
💯 and congrats!!!
With the bus operators, people must either choose to pay for expensive transportation that could be able to transport passengers up against a brick wall, instead of from origin to destination. People will agree that you are usually safer riding the bus than driving a motor vehicle, or even paying too much fare or a ride in a cab, whether a taxi cab or a livery cab.
I'm not married at Eboni for what she wants in a man, i wish nothing but the best for her. I wouldn't date or married another bus driver. My wife is an upper class woman because she grew up in the burbs around upper class family and we are still married.
forgot to mention this the first time, but also in line training, I had a Female customer hit on me calling me her "baby daddy" while it did make me uncomfortable, it does prove her arguments to be false. bus drivers are attractive.
Marked safe from having to date that woman. Thank goodness! I wouldn’t lower my standards to such a horrible person.

The video is excellent. Our office is mobile. We drive vehicles that cost more than 250k. We meet different people, from different professions. Among the bus drivers there are also lawyers, managers, bakers, hospital workers,... people who left their jobs in one way or another. She obviously has not met any bus driver or had a bad experience. Who flies high falls low!!!
As a bus driver in the Phoenix area my wife is happy , and I'm not required to own the bus.
😂😂😂. Tell her, you don't want her anyway, because driving a bus, is too busy of a career, to even DEAL with a FEMINIST 304, like on the LEFT!....
I own my own bus. Does that mean i have a chance?
I don't care if my man is a bus driver I love my man cuz he is a sweetheart money don't mean nothing to me
So many women like her where I live on Long Island (and NY in general) sadly. People need to stop judging others by how much money they make and what they do. It should be about the content of one's character. Can't stand these snobby women. Hard to find any woman who's down to Earth these days. This white collar superiority complex just makes me SMH. Some people have disabilities and can't work at all. So I guess we should just be single all our lives. I'm 47 & still single, sadly, because I'm in that latter group.
Trust me, no bus driver wants to date him as well😂😂
I am impressed by how magnanimous you are towards this woman. Seems like it’s all about appearances to her (and well, yes, money) and I pity the fool who gets stuck with her and her high-and-mighty attitude. I’m a woman, and I was a city bus driver in Minneapolis/St. Paul for 21 years and it gave me a paycheck that I could more than live on (but boy did I earn it) and I hardly worked any overtime. Now I’m retired and really thankful for that pension. I wonder if Eboni is putting any money away for retirement or expecting some sugar daddy to foot the bill for her lifestyle.
Exactly 🎯💯🎯 I'm happy for you," if I was a bus driver or pilot I'd put her ass off ⌛
Ill never forget when a guy tried to belittle me by saying " the wheels on the bus go round & round".. I said, "That check goes round & round too." Mind you, he worked in maintenance 😂
Bus drivers in my city average between 70k to 100k a year and the median salary in our state is 55k. Plus benefits you don't get with most employers like accrued sick and vacation, longevity, great health care benefits. We're rock stars.😂😂
She clearly has absent father trauma which was malicious parent syndrome (mom denigrating men around her). She also is using a superiority complex as a deflection to try and preemptively reject these men who she probably don't even think will love her because she doesnt see herself as worthy of love.

@Bus Driver Life, first of all, greetings from Medellín-Colombia.
I have to tell you that the social impact of this video is huge, for you are making realize people that these type of blue collar jobs are great, as well as their drivers.
You are bringing on what a stereotype Is,but making people most conscious about the positive side of the drivers.
Thank you for making me know your perspective, you are so respectful and your content is entartaining and funny.
¡Keep up the great job! ¡God Bless you, your family and all your passengers!
Hey Keywan. Public Transit operators, in my opinion, make a decent, honest wage. Add in all of that FORCED OT, and we're well over 100k a year. People like Ebony, I don't think will ever be happy! Money doesn't buy everything!
I wonder how much this women makes a year? Is it really that many times low to mid 100’s?
@@duvac12 "Woman".
This bus driver is great.
Thank you!
The occupation of bus driver or operator is not low as that of a server at a food restaurant, store cashier, or such that requires no high school diploma or higher education degree. Bus operators who operate municipal buses are paid an honest salary that is usually better than work in the private sector. Also, the job security is solid and better than jobs in the private sector. A [gentle]man, even women who are bus operatresses are better off than even the executives who manage, own, and work in jobs that offer salaries close to municipal workers, and they are usually temporary. There is no shame in this game.
This is the best transit channel ever made me get my clp I had my interview with cta as a bus opp can't wait
Wow!! Thank you!! Also..congratulations!! Stay safe out there in Chi-town! One of my favorite cities..I’m originally from Milwaukee, Wisconsin so Chicago is the BIG city to us!
Nothing to do with what you do for a living. It's who the person is. Not what he does. How about liking the person for who they are, not how much they earn. As for anyone with that kind of attitude, I would have no interest. I just take them out with the rest of the trash. She has one thing going for her, she is nice-looking. So much for nice looks.
Indeed, people have preferences, in ALL matters of life. Unfortunately, there are influencers who tag one's personal preferences as hateful or racist, when nothing further could be from the truth. He ain't lying!

We all have our list of what we want in a relationship. We must make sure we are living our list before demanding the other person to match the list
So as a bus driver I really don’t ever meet people to potentially date but then again I’m not there to meet I’m there to drive the bus and deliver my passengers safely. I guess I’m ok with being mediocre if you want to call us that.
There is no shame in committing yourself to being a public servant. There is more honor in being a servant. There is no honor in being served. She is someone who is high maintenance and wants someone to serve her. To that I say BLAH😢. Those who commit to serving get far more respect. Life isn't how much we made its how much we gave. We should commit to giving not getting
She’s going to be very disappointed in life with her high maintenance attitude towards men.
As a Transit Bus Operator for NYCT Transit, I'm proud of being a bus operator. What that woman said about bus operators being mediocre is a good example how very little people from the outside perspective of bus operators understand our world. Sadly, people do look down at this career and some event think its even a dead end job, which is absolutely far from the truth. This career is a decent living and in addition to that, you can also take promotional exams as a bus operator to become a dispatcher, and then go up to superintendent and other positions when you meet those requirements and their salaries are much higher. So to call bus operators mediocre is really show much limited understanding their is about us bus operators their are in the public.
If she doesn't want to date a bus operator, that's her choice, but I sure as hell wouldn't dare to stay something like that out in the public, let alone social media. Once you say something like that outside in the public, its out there and you open up a real can on controversy on yourself. She should've kept what she said to herself.
Right I wouldn't mind working at the bus station
Thank you for supporting the dignity of labor my friend
You’re welcome!!
It’s just so sad when you hear women speak like this..
She has the right to have her standard, but no need to denigrate honest working people. That mediocre remark is disrespectful.
💯
I am a truck driver and I love driving! As a truck driver I make 2200 a week and I know bus drivers who are making 32 dollars an hour and they are living a good lifestyle.
Keyshawn, I was waiting for you to comment on this. Yes, people can date whomever they want. But you also have to be open to certain romantic partners. I am not saying to settle, just be open. For example, if a woman who had a white-collar position met a nice, attractive man who was kind to her. He was intelligent, witty and ambitious. But he had a blue-collar job, should she reject him because of that? There is nothing wrong with having standards, but sometimes those standards can be found in people or places you wouldn't expect. Besides, a bus driver's salary isn't anything to sneeze at. They tend to make really good money. They don't make Apple CEO money, but they make a comfortable living.
True!
I'm so thankful for my job. That has become a career, takes care of my family, pays our bills, gives us a good retirement, gives us medical benefits. I wonder what this woman does how she pays for her medical. Or is she just depending on finding charitable donations? 😅🎉
As someone who’s a transit fan, aspires to be a bus operator, even take on a major in college of Transportation Systems, it kinda hit below the belt to hear that she wouldn’t date someone like that unless they own the bus. I think I take a lil more personally because it’s something that I want to do since I was a kid and I’m almost there and all kinds of people drives buses likewise as those who ride it. And with public transportation on the up and up it’s gonna be more operators in the profession
how dare her, her mother was a bus driver!!!!!
It’s ok for some women like that to impress their opinion, but once a guy expresses his opinion it’s wrong. If bus driving makes you happy then her opinion is just a fart in the wind and you just be you my brother. Respect ✊🏾
Nahh she tripping for real 😂😂 as long as you enjoy your life, even if you have to work as a bus driver, they'll come along at some point! 😀
I'm surprised by the level of ignorance from folks who say being a bus operator is a lazy job. If the outside looking in it may appear to be a lazy job but it's very far from that. Not are you only responsible for the lifes that get on your vehicle, you're also responsible for the people out side of your vehicle too. You have to worry about the bad drivers out there that make our days even more stressful. It's more than driving from point A to point B. Sometimes you start as one route and end as another and have to shuttle out of service to the new starting point. Not to mention accident reports need all details concerning the accident you may be involved in. That doesn't just count collisions but slip and falls on your vehicle too. So before you criticize us operators for having an "easy job" how about you apply and try it out for yourself before criticizing others career choices. Because some chose a more physical demanding job doesn't give you more brownie points. All and all work is work.

I’m a lady who’s been driving a bus in L.A. for over 15 years…I guess I’m mediocre as well? 🤷🏾♀️😤
I live in New York City- I take buses everyday and see and speak with many MTA bus drivers. Aside from the fact that they are some of the nicest people I meet on a daily basis, they have one of the most stressful jobs you can imagine. Try driving a bus through crazy New York city traffic with as*hole motorists on a daily basis and having to deal with angry, impatient passengers about things such as delays and traffic which are totally beyond your control- especially in Manhattan- without losing your sanity. THAT alone makes bus driving far, far from a 'mediocre' job. Also unfortunately here in New York and I suppose elsewhere it's become a dangerous job as well, with violence and assaults against bus drivers occurring regularly in all five boroughs of New York - a truly tragic and pathetic situation. A kind word of understanding when boarding or getting off a bus wouldn't be too much to ask...
Im a custodian🤷🏿♂️
And then, WHAT DOES SHE OWN? 😂
1st off I found this video via Facebook but the 1st
4 minutes made me go
“Wow such bus driver disrespect”
Thanks, VERY Good VIDEO and VERY Good POINTS.👍🏾🥰✝️
I once dated a bus driver many years ago, and over the years, I've had numerous encounters with bus drivers both as a passenger and as a fellow driver on the road. While I have great respect for the work they do, I have come to realize that dating a city bus driver isn't something I would choose for myself.
The primary reason is the demanding nature of their job. City bus drivers often work very long hours, which leaves them with little free time. Their schedules can be erratic, making it difficult to plan quality time together. Additionally, the job offers limited autonomy, as they must adhere to strict routes and schedules, which can add to their stress and fatigue. Given these factors, I feel that the lifestyle and work commitments of a city bus driver aren't conducive to building a fulfilling and balanced relationship, at least for me personally.
a job is a job some people are broken
I am a retired Muni bus driver and currently a paratransit bus driver promoted to Road Supervisor and I love it. Too bad and so sad for her because she'll never know the realities of being real. I know bus driver's who are millionaires who became millionaires driving for Muni. Yes they made some good investments but they did it with bus driver money. I was and I am still a bonafide bus driver good at what I do. When I retired my annually salary was $120,000 yes.! Maya Angelo drove Muni. Y'all don't sleep on bus driving jobs. Muni. VTA. ACTransit. Bauers. And the list goes on. My fellow bus driver I ❤ you in spirit and on wheels rolling continued blessings and you continue blessing your passengers by driving that bus trust me they appreciate YOU.!
The MUNI bus at 8:20 pays highest in the US. Top pay over $44 per hour. Of course, you'd have to deal with downtown San Francisco.
I'm a caregiver for developmentally disabled adults. I personally would love to date a lady in my field simply because they understand. I know financially we don't make a lot. But money and careers should not determine who you date. Date someone for who they are and not what they have
A year ago or so while I was riding an older RT bus driver who was talking about his job and he was telling the guy he made more than 100k a year.
I know many people at my garage who bring home checks at 4k every 2 weeks, so over 2k a week. the OT is their for people to take and even still we have canceled trips so its easy to get more OT if you want it.
She may have been pumped and dumped by bus drivers in the past.
Her revenge is saying she is above those who used her for practice.
Women like the one who was questioned about dating a bus driver really isn't worth the time to pursue. Beauty is only skin deep, and she would be a very expensive date. I'd rather date a woman who has integrity...meaning not only interested in prestige or money.
Transit operators do own the bus.
It's public transportation and we are tax payers so technically we own the bus!
I started driving in Phoenix 3.5 yrs ago. I enjoy the job. I also have a masters degree in elementary education. I make more as a driver than I would as a teacher. And in1.5 yes I'll make a little more than my brother (who needed a degree for his job). And it took him 10 yes to get to what I'll get after 5yrs. He can't get overtime because its too expensive for his company. I can get upto 30hrs a week overtime if I want it. Who's better off in the long run???? I'm not a looser or low class or uneducated. My coworkers are awesome despite some passenger opinions.
Thank you. Great video that says it all.

But we can retire at 55 with full pension and medical with 26 years of service.
