Bus 3479.
00:04
I just picked up a passenger,
00:06
that had her whole head busted open.
00:09
I don't know if she got hurt at the bus stop or on the bus.
00:12
She fell on the ice somewhere else and injured her head.
00:15
I can't really refuse her help.
00:17
She needs to get a ride to Fortieth, but she's bleeding all over the place.
00:21
Understood.
00:22
Did she request any medical attention at all?
00:26
She didn't request any medical attention, but if she continues to bleed like this, it's going to be all over the bus.
00:31
Okay, yeah, she's refusing medical attention, can't do much.
00:35
Yeah, there is blood on the bus.
00:37
Looks like this is your last trip as well.
00:39
Have customers avoid it and clean up when you pull in.
00:41
Okay?
00:43
Have the customers avoid the blood.
00:45
You mean, she's on the bus right now.
00:48
So you want me to not pick up people?
00:51
No, you can still pick up people.
00:53
Once she does get off, just tell customers to avoid that area so the shop can clean it when they get there.
01:00
When you pull in, okay.
01:02
You understand, there's a lot of blood.
01:04
Okay, I'll do what you say.
01:07
If you want to hold, I can get you a new bus, but that's not going to help on your last trip.
01:13
I was just hoping maybe a supervisor could bring some tissue or something to help her on the way.
01:17

01:22
There's still blood on the bus.

It's right at the front door.
