I think bus drivers deserve every penny they get. I wouldn't want someone
who has the lives of 30 people in their hands getting paid McDonald's wages.
People complain about communing in traffic for 45 minutes at a time. Try
doing it for a living.

Also, I don't see how 40 K a year is okay for a paper pusher (a paper
pusher!!) in a DT office highrise, but not okay for people who have to deal
with the stress and danger of driving a bus every day.
