Place one. We got the same passenger that I called the cops 20 minutes ago inside the bus.
00:10
What do you want me to do?
00:15
This is a passenger causing the issue.
00:18
But he's going to be looping around in my bus the whole trip.
00:25
That wasn't my question.
00:28
Is that passenger causing an issue?
00:31
Right now, he's not going to issue.
00:36
We're going to service that passenger.
00:39
They get a full ride,
00:41
so if that passenger comes back to their original point to where they got on the coach, where you're at Northport at Kennedy right now, so they get to come back to Northport and Kennedy if they choose.
00:57
Hopefully this person has a destination.
01:00
Earlier, you said they were going to the beacon, so maybe they'll get off there.
01:04
But if they become an issue where they're being disruptive, give us a call back and we'll get law enforcement involved.
01:12
This is the four times that I got these guy in my bus today.
01:19
Was he causing the issue today?
01:23
And that's the one the police just took off of his bus.
01:28
I copy that.
01:29
That was what he said.
01:31
But was there an issue though? I know he was riding around,
01:34
but was there an issue that this passenger was causing?
01:41
Basically,
01:42
so the police got that passenger off because he was out of service, he was coming back to the garage, so that was appropriate.
01:48
But this passenger can definitely ride if he's not causing any type of disruptive behavior, but we'll continue on.
02:02
I apologize with (name withheld) for stepping in.
02:04
I just, he had said earlier that the guy had gotten confrontational with him.
02:10
So I think that's what he was trying to explain.
02:15
Is this coach center, 3.49?
02:20
Are you mobile or are you still sitting there?
02:23
Still sitting here.
02:28
Why is it the most of the current situation?
02:32
He's got a baby, so he's looking for trouble now.
02:39
He said the passenger is being disruptive at this point?
02:42
The same guy.
02:44
He wanted me to collect up now, so that's a...
02:48
Copy that. Secure your clothes, open your doors.
02:53
And I'll send PD your way.
02:57
Make sure at the end of your shift, you write a detailed incident report.
03:03
Okay, (name withheld).
03:04
This is Coach 2349.
03:08
So law enforcement is routed to your location.
03:16
Make sure you have your doors open.
03:19
No need to have any interaction with the passenger.
03:23
If anything changes, give us a call back.
03:26
Thank you.
03:27
I'll wait here.
03:29
No, (name withheld), I'm rolling that way as well.
03:31
Cops will beat me there, but I'll have that way again, and we'll see.
