Ah, ok. I can’t find it now, but I remember a policy a while back where you can’t ride GRTC routes past the “end.” The made an exception for the 19 because W Broad in short pump is so dangerous to cross, but that was the only one at the time. Things might’ve changed by now though

Okay that makes sense. No other drivers had said anything to me about it, including her (and tbh the specific driver I'm talking about is perpetually angry and highstrung) so I wasn't sure if she was having a bad day or what.

Since you are a regular on the bus maybe try getting the driver a cup of coffee or a soda maybe a snack. People are more likely to let you break silly rules if you are a person to them and not just another random stranger.

I was going to guess this because that route sometimes switches to route 87 downtown because I'll take the 87 and stay on when it switches to the 78 without getting off the bus.
