Original Comment I was a passenger on Greyhound bus 86178 on 12/5/13 departing from Atlantic City NJ going to Washington , DC. , when a passenger was stabbed on this bus that required police intervention and emergency services. The ordeal was freighten for everyone but the handling of the situation by the bus driver is very concerning. I was seated in the second row of the bus. A commotion was heard from the the rear of the bus and cries of a person. The bus driver did not stop immedialty and the physical confrontation between two males moved quickly toward the front of the bus down the isle into the stairway area. Several minutes passed and finally the bus came to a full stop . The driver stood in place. The two males continues to scoffer while one continues to yell he stabbed my girlfriend, he stabbed my girlfriend. A few minutes passed and one male stopped and returned to the rear of the bus. The driver is then heard telling the male who remianed in the stairwell area &quot;man you got to give up the knife &quot; while the door of the bus remained closed and the lights on the bus stayed off. The knife weilding male is asking to retreive something from the rear of the bus when the bus driver was observed grabbing the glass partition pulling it towards himself leaving the passenger on the bus expose to the male with a knife. The bus driver then returned to the drivers seat , leaving the male with the knife on the stairway and drives off. While the bus is moving the second male returns to the front and continues to yell he stab my girlfriend and the two males starts scuffling again. The driver finally stopped the bus a second time .The crowd is yelling open the door and let them out. The driver did not respond. Only after a third request did the driver reluctantly open the door and the two males exited the bus. The driver allowed the male without the knife back onto the bus. After the passenger tells the bus driver not to allow the knife weilding passenger back on the bus, the bus driver is heard telling this individual he will let him back on the bus if he gives up the knife. The passengers called the police . This incident was very dangerous and serious for everyone involved. Myself I felt caged in the small seating area without the confidence the bus driver was doing anything to protect or safeguard the passengers on the bus. <br /> <br /> In light of this incident I hope Greyhound implement a plan to educate the drivers on how to handles incidents such as this one even if its just calling the police or consider installing cameras. <br /> <br /> Your consideration in this matter is greatly appreciated.
