Probably cause you're not looking where you're going and walking backwards while trying to take a photo.
NYers aren't rude, they are direct. Too busy getting shat done to tread gently. And anyone who works for the MTA is generally just an asswipe, so don't expect anything else. Let me tell you a story that both illustrates the tool-worthiness of bus drivers and the awesomeness of random NYers all in one.
I used to work in an industrial part of Brooklyn and took the bus from the same place every day. One day on a particularly rainy day, I was running to catch a bus that had just stopped. The driver let me get within 10 feet of the door making me think I had a chance, and then all of a sudden he hits the gas and peels out. He had no doubt seen me and just couldnt be bothered.
2 seconds later, a little hatchback screeches to a halt, the passenger door swings open, and a voice from inside yells, "Get in, we're gonna catch that fataing ayshole!". Without even questioning who this guy was, I jumped in, and this dude guns his Tercel and we go off chasing the bus like it's the frickin Paris-Dakar rally. Couple of blocks later we catch the bus and pull into the next bus stop right in front of him. I get out, thank my driver, and board the bus with the biggest shat eating grin on my face.
You'd be surprised how many times these random acts of awesomeness happen from regular NYers.
