Sadly you are of a dying breed. My understanding is that way to many of the drivers just want to drive and not interact with the guests in any way. I can even see this attitude on the MK cast shuttle. Some of the drivers greet every person coming on, others only say something when you greet them, and others won't say anything at all when you greet them. One time there was a wonderful driver on the shuttle who made the entire trip from the tunnel to West Clock funny but that only happened once. I made sure to leave a GSF card for him the next day at City Hall.

I've been here for over six months now and I've yet to meet the infamous Cranbiz. I know it'll be hard but we need to correct that.


Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long.

We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious…
and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

You're the exception, not the rule, though.

I got to tell you, my least favorite job is MK cast shuttle driver.

I have had more problems with MK cast than with any other cast shuttle or even guests. Cast members cussing me out, bitching about the bus itself, how it's MY fault they missed the bus to their accomodations, etc. Very few say thank you. It's a wonder why more drivers don't say anything. one time, when I tried to be entertaining on that run, I was told to shut the F**K up and drive. Ok buddy, you got it. I did not say a thing the rest of the night. Some (not all) think because they work at MK, their shit does not stink.

I'll drive it if told to but if asked, I politely decline. I'm much happier driving guests or even Pluto Shuttle (MK managers) than th MK cast shuttle.

That sucks. I hate CMs who think that they are the center of the universe. I'm not saying it doesn't happen but I've never seen a CM yelling at a shuttle driver before and hope I never do. I'd probably go off on the idiot CM myself.
