"I wouldn't get off. I'd have to stay on the bus until I know for sure he's off of there. I don't want to get off where he's gonna get off with me," Hosendove said.

The Detroit Department of Transportation said in a statement that "the safety of our riders is DDOT's number one priority and that is why we have significantly increased our transit police presence and have installed surveillance cameras inside and outside all of our DDOT coaches."
