Excuse me for suggesting you're naive, BillH, but you need to learn to think outside of that little box you have your head crammed into. In the face of a hurricane and the order to evacuate, do you really think the bus driver is going to keep someone off of the bus because they don't have a buck? Really? Think about it. The order goes out. The driver knows the area, and knows there won't be many more runs and knows this is a matter of saving lives. Most of the bus drivers I have met in my life (and I've ridden a lot of buses over the years, in many urban areas) are nice folks and would understand this. Many of them would bend over backward to help people. So don't give me the nonsense about not being able to afford the bus.
