I have a bus service that picks me up and brings home from work every day. I usually have to walk to a corner - although I think if I act more pregnant they would come to my house. There is also a rule that must allow me to sit near the front, again because I'm pregnant.
For whatever reason, our bus driver and route has changed several times over the past two weeks. Our new bus driver is insane.
He does everything that I've spotted crazy Turkish drivers doing: backing up on the highway, creating 3-lanes out of one lane (because another crazy Turk has already made it a double), and running red lights. In fact, he honks and yells at people for stopping at red lights.
He also doesn't let anyone sit in the seat next to the door. This is because there is a big open space in front of the seat and if he were to stop quickly (which happens quite frequently), the person in that seat would likely go flying out of their seat into the metal backing of the front.
Our bus was full today, except for the back seat - so I took the seat of terror instead. (The seats do have seat belts). The driver yelled at me not to sit there. I yelled at him to drive more carefully. The bus Nazi, the woman who controls all things that happen on the bus - offered her seat to me as a compromise.
Dikkat et! It means, proceed with caution.
