It wasn't until I saw a seventy-year-old veteran who took a bus with a preferential card and was refused to be taken by the driver that I understood what the phrase "holding chicken feathers as an arrow" meant!

April 24, 2024, Shenyang, Liaoning Province. A 70-year-old man got on a bus. After getting into the car, the old man showed his military preferential card to the driver, thinking that he could ride the car as smoothly as before. Unexpectedly, after the driver saw the preferential card, he directly stopped the old man, claiming that this kind of military preferential card cannot be used for free!
The uncle had never encountered such a situation before, and he was very puzzled, so he couldn't help but ask the driver a few more questions. I don't know which sentence ignited the driver's anger, the driver actually stopped directly, opened the door of the cab and came out, pointed to the uncle's nose and began to output:
"What are you horning, Niu Boyi, who is a soldier?"
"I'm also a soldier!What's the matter, is there a shame?!"
"Throw in the money or get off!"
As soon as these words came out, the old man was also stunned. I just wanted to complain and ask the driver why he couldn't use it, but he didn't expect it to attract such anger from the driver. Looking at the driver's fierce expression, those who know the situation know that it is because the old man took the military preferential card to take the car, and those who don't understand the situation think that the uncle has done something hurtful!
In the end, the old man was also afraid of being driven out of the car by the driver, and at the same time he didn't want to make a big deal, after all, there was still a whole car of passengers waiting to leave, so he could only throw two dollars into the coin box.
But the driver still didn't mean to stop the war, and continued to chatter at the old man, and the old man didn't want to be idle, so he and the driver scolded each other one by one. When the surrounding passengers saw this scene, they also advised both sides to say less.
It wasn't until the uncle said that he had already put in the coin anyway, and the driver calmed down a little and returned to the cab to continue driving.
Subsequently, this scene on the bus was transmitted to the Internet, and after the majority of netizens understood the whole story, they couldn't sit still, and the comment area instantly fried the pot:
"What kind of place? We are free to take the bus here for those over 60 years old! Not to mention a veteran in his 70s. ”
"It's common to the whole country, why can't Liaoning Province use it? Doesn't Liaoning Province need the army to defend it?"
"Deal with this driver seriously!"
"Master driver, I just want to know, you said that you were also a soldier, so it stands to reason that you should also be issued a preferential treatment card, right? Just imagine, if you get on the car with your own certificate and are rejected, how do you feel at this moment?"
"Let this rogue driver be laid off first! The bus company must come out and apologize!"
"This driver, who used to be a soldier, has disgraced those who have been soldiers!"
"This driver, you call the preferential treatment card issued by the state that thing, it is an insult to the country and to retired soldiers, and it must be strictly investigated!"
Netizens were very angry when they saw such a scene. Some netizens said that it makes sense that in some areas, as long as the elderly are over 60 years old, they can ride for free, not to mention a veteran in his 70s, who should be respected by the driver. Is it true that everything is factory reset after being discharged from the army?
But even if this old man is not a veteran, an old man who is over his age can be respected by others in terms of age, right? The driver should not use such an attitude and tone towards this old man.
And according to the driver's words at the time, we can also know that this driver also served as a soldier before. Since he has also had a period of experience as a soldier, he must be able to better understand the feelings of a veteran, facing a veteran, doesn't the driver have a little empathy?
When something like this happened, many netizens thought that it was the driver who did too much, and at the same time, the bus company was also to blame.
Some netizens suggested that the bus driver can make such a behavior, in addition to his personal problems, is it also because the bus company has not trained in place?
Indeed, in this case, both the bus driver and the bus company have not done a good job. But one thing that cannot be denied is that in fact, the policy for veterans is different in every region, and even different bus companies in the same area are also different.
There are many similar things, a few months ago, there was a little boy in Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province, who took his "three-genus preferential card" on the bus. It was also suspected and disapproved by the bus driver, and was even ridiculed by the driver: "Today's children can really do any card!"
Afterwards, the child's mother popularized the "Three Families Preferential Card" for everyone, which is a preferential card issued by the state for the families of martyrs.
However, about the origin of this card, no one has popularized it in a large area, so many people do not know this type of card, and Xuzhou public transport in the training, there is no training on the relevant knowledge of this card, so when the little boy takes the card in the car, the driver will be ridiculed.
Afterwards, the bus driver apologized to the little boy, and at the same time, it also caused everyone to think about why the state issued this preferential treatment card, but did not popularize the information about this preferential treatment card? Moreover, this preferential treatment card has some slight differences in different regions, names, usages, etc., which will indeed hide some potential contradictions.
The same is true in this case. Since this preferential card was issued to this veteran, the use of this card should be popularized throughout the country. It would also be desirable for cities to be consistent with each other. Not only that, when the bus company conducts training, for various types of documents, training should be in place to avoid similar situations.
Some netizens also suggested that retired military officials should make unified regulations on this.
According to the data, in Shenyang's policy, only active military personnel and retired and retired armed police officers can enjoy free rides, in addition to the disabled, the elderly over 70 years old and other groups of people can ride for free, but not else.
If this is really the case, then to be honest, the driver's practice is indeed legal and compliant, after all, they drive buses, and there will be assessments, and it is impossible to just let a person ride for free. It's just that the driver's approach this time is a little unreasonable.
After all, this old man is over seventy years old, and even if this veteran's preferential card can't ride for free, this old man must have reached the age where he can ride for free. The driver can tell the master calmly that the card he brought cannot be used for free, and only what card can be used for free, and there will be no farce.
Let's go back to this old man, maybe the uncle didn't know if this card could ride for free before, but he just felt that the state issued this card to himself, maybe it could bring some convenience to himself, so he took this card to ride for free. After all, the uncle is over seventy years old, and it is normal that he does not understand some information sometimes. In the future, the uncle will apply for a senior citizen card, and he can also ride for free.
So what do you think about this matter? Welcome to leave a message in the comment area to discuss.
