Why are bus drivers in Seoul so aggressive?


Recently, the weather has been good, and the cherry blossoms have bloomed, so I took the bus twice. The first time was to go to Samseong, and the driver looked very old, with all-white hair. He drove aggressively, rushing through red lights before they turned green. Instead of yielding to slower vehicles on the road, he just kept honking the horn, urging them to move faster. The most outrageous part was when an SUV in front was making a turn, and there were pedestrians on the crosswalk. The bus driver kept honking loudly, causing a disturbance, and he was muttering curses.

The second time was to go to Seoul Forest. The driver appeared to be a man in his 50s. He also drove aggressively, constantly honking the horn whenever there was a vehicle blocking the lane, whether it was a bus or a car. During the journey, there was a person with disabilities sitting in a small four-wheeled wheelchair for disabled individuals. The driver of the SUV behind the wheelchair, possibly trying to protect the person, followed slowly. However, the bus driver I was with started honking the horn continuously. The SUV driver couldn't take it anymore and changed to the second lane. Then, the bus driver drove directly next to the person with disabilities and shouted loudly, saying, "Go on the sidewalk! Is your vehicle supposed to be on the roadway?" and so on. After that, he closed the door and drove away. I was sitting in the front row and could clearly see everything. I'm not particularly sensitive, but the tone he used and continuously honking the horn were really excessive.
