One time, I stepped off a bus in Columbia on my way to a job interview and a car actually pulled up and the driver rolled down his window to yell "you're gonna get killed riding those buses". Seriously. I just thanked him for his concern and told him, truthfully, that I rode the bus all the time and had never felt in any danger. He just sort of grunted, the sort of grunt that says "Who you going to believe, me or your lying eyes?" and drove off.
