That's a true simulator!
Not to mention the ones who want to argue about their expired transfers, or the ones who don't have correct change and make you sit there while they whine about you not making change for them.

Here in Salt Lake we have an interesting wrinkle: The Free-Fare zone. Downtown (which is fairly small) all rides are free. This means that on an outbound bus you pay when you get off. I understand that they often have 'jumpers' who simply get off without paying. That would make an interesting addition to the sim.
