Who would you let on the bus?

Question

You are the driver of a bus. At a stop there are three people:

(At this point, you might know the answer, but read the whole question.)

A frail old lady who looks very sick, a child looking lost, and a mean-looking man, who, when you open the door, pints a gun at you and threatens to kill you if you don't let him on.

(Gotcha!)

Now, you only have time and space to let one of them on. the next stop is at the front door of a humanitarian centre where there is a emergency hospital, a mental hospital, and a lost children booth. who would you let on?

(At this point, I would like to thank people who read the whole question. This question is different than the one with the frail lady, your best friend and your loved one. So now, please give your answer.)

Answer 1

I would get off the bus myself. I would call for help (the police) on my cell phone. i would make sure no one could get the keys to the bus and drive it. maybe throw them down a sewer drain or in a pond. I expect other folks on the bus would call 911 also if i couldn't. I would keep talking to the guy with the gun. Trying to keep him calm, trying to get him away from all the other people so no one would get shot.
Break out of your paradigm.

Answer 2

First is there a correct answer to this question? (If so email me @ [e-mail])

I have to let the guy with the gun on, i'm not a hero and dont really feel like i want to die yet. He not only gets on but i dont charge him for the ride.

I want to let the kid on, because he looks lost but that is no indication that he is lost, sorry kid but he is walking with a map that i gave him (the back of the bus time table)

I frail old lady, too almost gets a ticket to ride the bus but again she is beaten buy the gun.

The guy with the gun rides in the bus but i dont stop at the mental or emergency hospital but rather around the corner from the nearest police station. (not in front because i dont want to spook the guy.)

Hope that i have answered the question.

Answer 3

Trick the mean guy into going to the mental hospital, then I come back for the old lady who will go to the er while I tell the kid to wait there and finally get the kid to the booth.

If I can only make one trip i'll kick the guy in the balls, he's gonna shoot me in the arm and I grab the kid. The old lady doesn't have too long anyway.

Answer 4

none.
i would 1st acknowledge the man with the gun and then look at the boy and see the old woman. i would think the man is trying to escape from the sick woman(his mother i guess) the lost boy is blind and made the man go crazy asking stupid questions. the old woman just keeps annoying the man so he wants to get away. so won't stop and won't look back(meaning i wouldn't care).

Answer 5

The man with the gun. Just to get him away from the other two. Protecting them from immediate danger would be my main concern.

Answer 6

the man with the gun

Answer 7

I would let the psycho on so he didn't kill the kid and old lady

Answer 8

i would keep driving
