Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : CONTEXT: I live in a city where the public transport system (PTS) allows monthly pass holders to get in and out of bus relatively fast. Basically, from morning till late afternoon, buses allow pass holders to get into the bus through its exits in addition to the original entrance (two exits + one entrance per bus usually). Since this incident, the policy has changed quite a bit and they only allow it at subway station stops.

As you can guess, there are people that abuse it, hence partially why the PTS has security details of its own to enforce rules and give fines to non-pass holders. The enforcers dress like cops and will be referred to as "Agents" in this story.

SITUATION: It is late at night and buses have become scarce. I get out of the subway and see my bus. Along with six to seven other people, we rush towards the bus to not miss it. Every single one of us enters the bus through its rear exit as it is the closest to the subway station exit.

So I'm chilling in my seat, getting ready to doze off a bit before my stop when I hear an agent come in from the same rear exit pointing at me and declaring:

"You, come out."

I comply and we stand outside of the bus exit.

Thinking it's just one of those routine checkups, I offer to give him my pass so he can scan it and I would be on my way.

Me: "Here's my pass."

Agent: "Do you know how to read?"

He was pointing at a sticker on the bus that described the buses' open door policy.

Me: "...yeah?"

Agent: "What does this say? You can't use the rear exits after X hour."

Me: "Okay, but do you want to see my pass or..?"

Agent: "I can give you a fine for this."

Me: "Look, I have the monthly pass, and entering from the front or the back wouldn't have made any difference in mu case. I simply didn't want to miss my bus so I entered from the back. Can I go now?"

As if on cue, the rear exit door closed and the bus left.

I looked at the agent, baffled. He looked at me, then at the bus, then back at me; He shrugged.

Agent: "Too bad."

Me: "Are you serious?"

At this point I was livid and really wanted to rip him a new one. It's like 10-11pm, I'm tired and hungry, and this dipshit has nothing better to do than to loiter in front of the bus stop to lecture my ass? \[100% accurately describes my feelings back then\]

Me: "You just made me miss my bus! What was the point of this???"

Agent: "Not my problem, don't break the rules."

Me: "Are you kidding me? You seriously have nothing better to do?? You wanna fine half the bus passengers too??? I have a goddamn pass!! Forget it."

I realized I was getting really aggressive so I walked away to cool down. Had plenty of time for that though, it was 40 minutes until my next bus.
