Are bus drivers Masters of the Puppets?

I mean really,are they?
Is it so hard to open the bus door when you see someone in enormous haste desperatly running towards the vehicle? Is it causing some sort of mental or even physical pleasure to just smile and drive away,leaving the exhausted passanger wannabe at the bus stop? I wouldn´t say a goddamn thing if it would be only about young ones,teenagers. But even my grandmother´s "permission to come aboard" was denied recently,and it was not for the first time.
I think we should go out to the streets and cause riot! This is an unbearable injustice! I dont like the idea that bus driver (No sarcasm intended) has in his hands MY time. Are you with me? I mean,who are they and by they i mean them? Time owners? Are they puppet masters deciding about where and when we get somewhere? I like the San Francisco´s public transport. Open door tram,catch it if you can style. My grandma is still fit,i bet she would make it.
