Well I wouldn't say 'vitriolic' but, whether or not you meant it to the post as a whole could be read as being somewhat patronising - hence the responses. And we don't know in what manner the OP 'challenged' the driver.

What has another thread got to do with this? Different matter totally. If a bus driver refuses to let me in because of how I look, dress or what I am carrying (that isn't illegal), than I would count that as being thrown off. No excuses to how that particular driver behaved.
