Editor,Â
I’m writing about the “SamTrans Beefs Up Safety ... “ article. Not one word about the safety of the commuters — just the bus drivers. Can someone explain to me why there is a sign on the SamTrans (and MUNI) buses that harassing/attacking a driver is a crime — but nothing is mentioned about harassing your fellow commuter?
I saw a man harassing a bus driver only once — and she stood her ground and threw him off the bus. But the bus driver will not interfere if there is somebody — shall we say not in his/her best state of mind — harassing a fellow commuter. And here we go again — let’s not talk about the elephant in the room.Â

Thanks for your letter, Ms. Lyulkin. Another reason to not ride SamTrans. But if one must, make sure you sit where there’s nobody at your back. We don’t want a repeat of the Iryna Zarutska incident in North Carolina to occur here. And perhaps carry pepper spray or some other tool with which you can defend yourself from scofflaws.
