First, this is not an anti-pat bus thread or I'm not anti bus driver, etc.
i normally haven't had bad luck with busses, but over the past 2 weeks, I've had 2 close calls.
One was on hazelwood ave approaching the big intersection with Midas, the gas station, beechwood, Browns hill. I was coming down hazelwood and a pat bus came out from greenfield ave and I had to break. I definately had the right of way.
Today, on Forbes heading towards wightman, bus came within 2 feet of hitting me when passing me. Should've taken the lane but I was tired from the climb from CMU
Have any of you had close calls with busses lately?

I biked Negley for years, dealing with the 71a. They were typically ok though sometimes they'd gun it past me only to stop 50 feet later at a bus stop. Most would pass ok but I remember some scary passes.
If you can, get a bus # or remember the route and time and file a complaint on the Pat website.
