Some fun from Budapest: the troll bus driver

I have found this comic on http://9gag.com/. This is a maybe true story about a bus driver of Budapest, or maybe more bus drivers in Budapest. Citizens tells stories humorous drivers in more bus lines of Budapest. On the lines I regularly use in Budapest, I have never met one of them.
