When they smash the economy, people cant afford to ride.
When people cant afford tl ride, they try to steal rides.
When they try to steal rides, drivers' whose jobs are on the line try to make them pay because the economy is smashed and drivers "cant afford to be fired".
So a fight ensues. You have to be able to see this coming a mile away, in every industry relatively.
The system isnt fully to blame but I guarantee they take zero responsibility.
Them marta drivers got to understand them street people they dealing with its not worth trying to argue about 2$ dont get hurt over something that dont belong to you it's just a ride.
I am really beginning see it is not worth your life or health to get in frivolous dispute with most people today because many of our brothers and sisters are super emotional, unstable mentally and will result in senseless killing. This should not be happening in today's times.
broken culture
all people are itching for an excuse to rage with their little metal gun instead of fists or words. lame cowards. and if the bus driver didnt stand his ground he would be looked further down upon and taken advantage of possibly even losing his job for letting people get away on free fares yet speaking up cost him to get shot… hmm
My thoughts and prayers to the family, friends and coworkers. This is just a tragedy. I feel like young people are getting exponentially more violent.
Wow but yeah everyone is STRUGGLING the Corruption of GOVERNMENT AND POLITICS with the POLITICAL BSHHHHHH um shhhhhhhh like this Happens doing your Job to become unalive is it worth it NOT umm😮
Black suspect?
Dam electric chair killing a honest working person
I wish these "reporters" would learn: the driver wasn't killed because of $2.50. The driver was killed because an evil person wanted to kill someone. It just sounds so much more dramatic to wax philosophical and dramatically tell us that someone died over a $2.50 fare. Evil is evil. When did we become so sophisticated and brainwashed?
Your a pro see cute or
😢MARTA BILLIONAIRE LET EM MAN
A Postal Worker lost his life over a place in line for a sandwich in New York the other day. Life used to be precious, now it is worth nothing to "certain people".
It's always the hood! Smh
public transportation should be free! bus drivers act like the money coming out of they check! let people ride and save your life !
Let me guess, NOT a Trump Voting White Male
Public service should no longer be an option in certain neighborhoods this is ridiculous at what point it makes sense to go to work I personally blame Martha a Martha police officer should ride on the bus and train at all time
Democrats …
GOD HELP US! A HUMAN LIFE REDUCED TO "2.50 Cent!" I knew His Family. R.I.P. Dear Sir! Condolences to The Family.
Vote Blue for a safer city
But, illegal immigrants aren't even paying to ride the bus at all. They get free cars
I support all transit workers around the country! I been a transit worker for 25 years and the job is getting harder each year and more dangerous 🧐 much love from Philly and my condolences to the family smh ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
Bus driver was killed here in Seattle like a week ago. Its too unsafe and that’s why I have a hooptee
THERE NEED TO BE COPS ON THE BUSES OR SECURITY
I’m sure it was the usual suspects. They always want something free!
This past tuesday new years eve in east point a marta bus driver was pistol whipped by a female over paying her 2.50
do you even have to aks?
2025 is not starting off very good.
Hope you see how the people don’t pay the fare in New York! 🙈 They get in the bus 🚌 and train like if just waiting for them to give it a free ride! 🙈
Not just 2 dollars though.. 2.50
Wow. 20+ years in prison for 2 dollars.
This is sad prayers for the bus driver who lost his life 💔🙏 2025 starting off bad. The terrorist running over killing innocent people & shooting them, man blown himself up & injured people in Vegas, shootings in NYC slashing pushing people in front of trains. Whew. Lord have mercy.🙏💔
😑
This is sad.
I read comment about it being
the usual suspects. Don't forget about the ones that have a history of committing awful acts with smiles on their faces. 😐
The list is long, but here's one.

I'm empathical and psychic I feel like this was an attack against evil. Similar to when Moses killed
I used to drive the bus septa in Philly I would never hassle anyone about fare actually they tell you not to when you get hired
No kids things haven't always been like this
Heartless
When private investigators do too much and involve public transportation . 😢
So sad
Some of these transit officials would make you do anything to them! 🙄
Well, they kill New Yorkers for the New York City train for $2.75
Well, they kill New Yorkers for the New York City train for $2.75
Seems like everyone in the comments is stupid. So they are arguing over a fare. The driver should have just been mature and called police. Then the driver started making disparaging comments about they mama. Then he swung first. In my opinion he didn’t act with intelligence and lost his life.

I tell Marta drivers all the time “y’all worry about the wrong things”. Someone’s music 🎶 or phone call without headphones or a $2.50 fare ain’t worth ur lives.
Marta your drivers need to know they have agency to make the best well reasoned decision in the moment. Half the time ur fare boxes and gates are broken anyhow so why not allow your drivers to make the call as to when they wave a fare. Let it be dealt with at the station where in some instances you have officers, who btw should be on the trains and buses for the entire day not just an occasional pop in.
