Young woman banker killed by bus in Kennedy Plaza


News report said that this most unfortunate woman was run over by that bus AT THE CROSS WALK ? " No charges against the Peter Pan driver yet ". Since when is it OK to run people over at cross walks ?

There is a pattern here . Recall the death of Bobbie Moore crushed by a RIPTA bus : The local news media treated Bobbie Moore as a non-person. Not even a routine death notice:

he had to stop because everyone was screaming ". ( Pauline Goss " who
had just gotten off the bus ... " )

A RIPTA rider said this in May 30 , 2014 article ( " RIPTA drivers,
riders, reflect on system in wake of fatal accident " ) [ a 9 year old
girl died ] :

" IF I AM TAPPING ON THE SIDE OF THE BUS , SHOW ME A LITTLE
COURTESY ... Some are rude and arrogant ", Jackie Baker of Providence
said. " They seem to forget they( RIPTA Bus drivers ) are public ...]
