Should I [23F] make a complaint against my bus driver [UnknownM] that is making me increasingly uncomfortable?
I just need some advice on if I should make a complaint against a bus driver on public transportation. I've been using the bus since May of this year to get to and from work. The bus driver that drives me home every Tuesday is making me increasingly uncomfortable. He's an older man probably twice my age or so. Here are some of the things he's done/said that make me uncomfortable:
At the main bus station a few months ago he got off of one of the busses. We had a conversation because I asked him about where one of the busses was. While I was sitting waiting for it he asked me for my age, then said I didn't look 23. He asked if I've ever been serenaded before. I said... Uh no. He said if I were your age I would. Then started singing "hey good lookin" by hank Williams.
On other occasions he made other comments. Once when I got on the bus he asked if I was a model and what agency I worked for. Another time when I got on the bus he said he'd been thinking about me all day.
I started putting on headphones on Tuesdays so he wouldn't talk to me anymore. Because of his previous behavior I always sat closer to the back so I could get off using the second back door so I wouldn't have to talk to him. One time when I got off using the second door, he waited until i walked past the front door on the outside of the bus and yelled at me saying "hey you can use the front door too!" For context the bus drivers always open both the front and second door so this isn't an issue.
On this last Tuesday when I was going to get off at at my stop he refused to open the second door for me. I took out my headphones to see what the problem was, he motioned me to the front saying he needed to talk to me. Then asked me about where I worked. I just said have a good day and got off the bus. He shouldn't have refused to open the second door, forced me to go to the front to talk to him, and asked personal questions about where I worked.
Should I call and make a complaint? I'm kind of scared of just confronting him outright, especially in front of other people on the bus that have no context on the situation.
TL;DR The bus driver has made weird comments and I feel like this is bordering on harassment. I am trying to decide if I want to make a complaint against him.
