The bus driver is the owner and driver of the bus that Rye takes towards Pasadena. He is a touchy and heavily-impaired man who supports his family by driving people around Los Angeles, asking for various practical items as fares. After the bus driver responds to a fight among passengers by pulling over, Obsidian throws a gas bomb onto the bus to try to quiet the fight. Despite the fact that this has saved the inside of his bus from ruin, the bus driver reacts with fury, threatening Obsidian with gestures and shouting nonsense words. It’s Obsidian’s peaceful and rational reaction to this that makes Rye begin to understand that he is safe.
