As I was walking home about 15 minutes ago, I went to cross the intersection on university drive, right by McMahon Stadium. There is a pedestrian cross walk, and I pressed the button to make the lights go.

A city bus slowed down and stopped for me, and I waved to say thanks to the driver, and proceeded to go across the street. I wasn't looking towards the bus, since I had already seen it stop, so I was looking the other way to make sure traffic coming in the opposite direction was stopping too. The next thing I know I hear the bus honking at me 4,5,6 times, the driver saw what was happening in her mirror. I look in that direction just in time to see a jeep cherokee come flying through on the outside lane, oblivious to the pedestrian signal light. I stopped dead in my tracks, less than 2 feet from getting run over by this guy. As he went by, I noticed he was texting on his cellphone, and had no idea what had just happened.

If it wasn't for that bus driver, I would be in the hospital right now or worse. So to whoever was driving that bus, I owe you my sincere thanks. Top marks for Calgary Transit.

To the jackastor driving the Jeep, get your head out of your a$$, you could have killed someone.
