[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bus Company Supervisor: The campaign said they would pay us when we arrived. Nobody paid us. They said passengers would wear masks. Nobody had masks & they all kept singing "YMCA". So we left because we heard from other companies they didn't get paid last time.[/quote]
YMCA? Is this real?[/quote]

Yes, Trump plays this at his rallies. Probably because he knows his supporters are not that bright.

Glad the bus company wised up.[/quote]

Except the PP is lying about the bus companies not being paid.  Notice, no link?  But I have one:

The Omaha Airport Authority said the Trump campaign rented 40 buses to transport people from remote parking lots to the event site and ran them for 10 hours. The bus company confirmed Wednesday that those drivers were paid, deflating another incorrect rumor circulating on social media.

The buses weren't all hired to stay past 8pm. The rally ended at 9.

All the articles say that the police had to enlist airport shuttles to transport people back to their cars. If the Trump campaign hired enough buses for the return trip and the delay was just a matter of traffic on a narrow road, why the need for airport shuttles? Think, people![/quote]

There weren't enough buses, but the bigger problem was the road being block for about two hours, not just a few minutes. It was more than 3 miles walk to the parking area and some people waited for a bus for up to an hour before giving up and walking. The airport shuttle buses didn't come until later, when people were still there hours after the event ended. I'm guessing the police called the airport shuttle buses because they have their number. It is obvious that no one from the Trump campaign or the rented bus companies was there to manage the transportation. [/quote]
