Unfortunately, we are living in the world of "stereotyping" people. And I bet, sabaii, that more than likely other people heard the comment as well, making it seem as if you were being discriminated against. Scalpers are everywhere but I never thought about it at a bus station. 80sMetalead summed it up perfectly, with the thought of putting up a sign. However, though, in order to be politically correct, I wonder how many signs it would take reach all languages....LOL.

Weekly passes are good for me when I don't have a lot of scheduled medical appointments for a period of time. If I see that I'll be needing to use a pass frequently during an entire month, I go ahead and activate a monthly pass. Actually, I really think that an eligible person should be able to buy passes that don't expire to keep from getting nailed by the inevitable rate increases coming. Kind of like the long lines at the post office where people stood in line to buy "forever" stamps which only saved pennies.

You are behind the times here. It has been said over and over about people getting desperate because of the fast increase of costs. The only thing that hasn't changed is the rich side of life! People will turn and change and those could also be the very ones that you only thought you knew! It's a power game and we are the little soldiers who work for them!

All in all...I would be really pissed if my dad wen through something like that!

Channel 9 should be commended to acting so fast. They taped me at 10am and I was on the noon news and afternoon news.Now you all know what I look like. Do I look fatter on TV? Not possible. I asked my friend Tom Sussi (35) to act but he must have been busy or something.

For one to assume is wrong and everyone knows the spelling of assume.

NF; I did email lynx and call them and the email was adamant that they would continue with their program that they don't consider harrassment.I got the time and the cashiers number as she wouldn't give me her name. Channel 9 news got the same response live on camera from the Lynx manager.Orlando Police Dept. has officers on duty at the terminal so I went today to the OPD HQ and got a print out of all calls for this year at Lynx only. There were 216 and not ONE incident of scalping tickets. I am awaiting a call from an OPD detective (Montgomery) and the Lynx safety/security manager Bill Zielonka but they haven't responded. What a shock! Incidentally, VOTRAN,Volusia Co's bus system is cutting routes and other measures in a legal way to deal with fuel costs. Not tormenting the old and disabled.

NF; where are you from? I was born in Daytona Beach on the beach side in a small doctors office that they later turned into a funeral home. Come and go at the same place! Neat. By the way, I've talked to the VOTRAN representative Robert and he sure is a nice person. I bet he is also a good administrator.

Yes,and thank you for the tip. The bus runs right by my house and it's only one bus change at the central Lynx station. It does take an hour to get to the VA for my endless stream of treatments but I prefer the bus as I never know how late the doctors at VA will be and I often have to wait for up to an hour for my prescriptions if I need them right away. The VA system is hopelessly broken at Orlando. I have submitted so many complaints to Administration and my congressman but nothing changes. It now appears that VA is also treating foreigners as it is full of people who can't speak English. I can't figure out what is going on unless it is Vets from PR families getting treated for free. My wife is Asian and she can't get treatment.
