Now here's one bus driver that has a very serious problem with cell phones ringing and passengers accepting calls during the road trip. And by serious we mean kicking your arse off the bus serious...
A passenger on the Greyhound bus that was heading to Washington D.C. recorded this clip in April, 2012, – we assume using his or her mobile phone's camera.
YouTube user 'Audorf1' wrote: "I was on a bus ride back to DC and the driver acted so cranky. First he told a mom to shut up her baby from crying and then he said this nonsense."
The bus driver makes it clear from the beginning that he now has a new "zero tolerance policy" on cell phone use as well.
"Do not allow your cell phones to ring throughout this bus please as they do and they will disturb Greyhound's PAYING customers. We are not going to sit up here for four-and-a-half hours listening to cell phones ringing throughout this bus," he is heard saying in the video.
He then goes on to say what he thinks about some of the phone conversations:
"Your unwanted cell phone conversations, not to mention the nonsense that some of you all talk on them cell phones - I'm talk to you like it as it is, I'm not saying all of you, I'm saying some of them conversations. Pure, pure nothing but nonsense."
Once he's done explaining his thoughts about the use of mobile phones he then proceeds to inform the "paying customers" what will happen if they violate the rule:
"And again please don't do or say anything aboard this bus that will definitely have you taken off this bus out here in the middle of nowhere by state police. There are many small towns out there where Greyhound busses do not come."
"You will create a serious nightmare for yourself and this is something I, I don’t want to do, but if it's necessary I do, do it, I'm not bragging about it but if you violate the zero tolerance policy, Greyhound rules regulations and procedures aboard this bus then you will leave me no other choice."
Watch the entire scene in the video below the break.

Absolutely, positively agree with him. Can he please attend some of the movie theaters my my wife and I frequent, dammit!?
Amen ... it's about time!!!
The guy sounds like Denzel Washington.
I like it and agree with it- though since the person on the phone is not driving, nor does it interfere with the buses navigation (like they say it does on a plane), I'm not sure the legality of it?
I have ridden on greyhound and some of the nastiest meanest men are employed as drivers. But! I can understand that hours of listening to annoying cellphones an people who will not STFU would make many people snap.
Any one get the bus number and report this driver, if so call 1-800-Safebus with rhe time, date & bus number.
I agree with him but, talk about annoying the passengers... does he not see the irony? Enough already, we get it! Too bad he doesn't come with an off switch.
I was gonna say Morgan Freeman...
I lol'ed
Fundamentally, I don't disagree with him. But maybe, just maybe, that rant could have been a little less preachy and verbose. As "paying passengers," no one needs to be barked at by a dirtbag bus driver.
Is farting if silent O.K.
can I jerk off ?
A movie theater isn't a bus. If you can talk with the person sitting next to you, or across the aisle from you on a bus, why not on a cell phone. I agree a person should keep their voice down and not talk in such a way that the whole bus has to be privy to a long phone conversation. But the customers/passengers who need to make/take a brief call are paying customers too. There is room to live and let live.
bus driver needs anger management~
Damn!
He can't stop talking.Stop the bus, I'll walk from here
I personally think this video would be better if someone's cell phone had gone off at the end of that incredible speech.
That MOFO is my HERO!! Anyone else who thinks otherwise is just one of those Aholes who think we give a crap about their cellphone-facebooking-someonelookatme nonsense. Well done. Mr. Busdriver...

Way to go driver. I wish more Greyhound drivers could be like that. I ride Greyhound from time to time between Sacramento and San Francisco. That can be up to a 3 hour trip. Last thing I wanna hear is someone yaking on a phone for 3 hours about baby mama drama. Been there done that and it sucks.
