I sure do, like it was yesterday. This whole tragedy started over a fare on one of our buses, if i remember correctly, was 25 cents short.
It turned into a police call, they hauled him off to jail, then to the mental hospital, where he was killed by the police which then closed down the hospital.
I was very embarrassed that one of our bus drivers created this mess over chump change.
