Very poor sound. I could barely hear a word either one said, except the White guy saying "you think I'm prejudiced?" & both of them saying "put my foot up your ass". I'd have no way of knowing who instigated it. White guy did walk away, Black guy followed him once, then again. Black guy hit first.
Good idea to avoid such scenes when we can. That could have turned a lot uglier than it did.

This gentleman is known globally as "Epic Beard Man".
The audio is atrocious, so here is the transcript courtesy of the folks over at knowyourmeme.com
Warning: Foul language alert!
Black man: …AC Transit
Bruso: Let’s get back to business. How much you charge me for a spit-shine?
Black man: what?
Bruso: How much you charge me for my Stacy Adams? I’m going to a funeral on Friday…You said you… [note: Stacy Adams are a brand of shoe.]
Black man: Did you get what I said just now?
Bruso: Yes
Black man: Why a brother gotta spit-shine your shoes?
Bruso: You offered!
Black man: I didn’t offer you ****.
Bruso: What’d you just say when you walked by me?
Black man: I said why, why a fuckin’ brother gotta spit-shine your shoes?
Bruso: You don’t have to!
Black man: Why a white man can’t spit-shine –
Bruso: [interrupting] – It could be a Chinaman! It don’t matter!
Black man: Look dude…
Bruso: I ain’t prejudice! What? You think I’m prejudice!
Black man: [pointing toward front of bus] Take your ass back up there and get the **** out my face right now.
Bruso: Why you being so hostile, man?
Black man: ‘Cause. I’m pissed off.
Bruso: Well its better to be pissed off than pissed on.
Black man: Take your ass up there right now
Bruso: [standing to go to the front] You ain’t scarin’ this white boy. I’m 67 years old. You ain’t scarin’ me. You ain’t scarin’ me.
Black man: [now, also standing] I’m 50.
Bruso: You ain’t scared of me. You ain’t scarin’ me.
Black man: I’ll put my foot up your ass.
Bruso: No you won’t! No you won’t!
Another passenger makes remarks. Bruso moves to the front of the bus as the two exchange threats to whoop each other’s asses. Although Bruso has physically distanced himself, he continues the verbal conflict.
Bruso: You won’t do nothin’ to me! [then something unintelligible]
Black man: Say it again! [then something unintelligible as woman who was filming talks over him]
Iyanna Washington: Say it again! Say it again, Pinky!
The black man begins walking to the front of the bus.
Note: “Say it again Pinky” has been interpreted by some as a racial slur against white people, while others have claimed that it was said as a reference to the movie Next Friday although it’s not entirely clear how the movie quote fits into the context of the conversation.
Someone off camera whom many allege is Iyanna Washington: Beat his white ass! Whoop his ass!
Another passenger: Leave him alone!
The two men seem to be speaking to one another at the front of the bus, but cannot be heard over the noise from the rest of the passengers.
Iyanna Washington: It ain’t worth it, blood, it ain’t worth it.
The black man begins walking back to his seat as other passengers continue to comment.
Black man: I’d put my foot up your ass.
Bruso: I see tough guys like you and I slap the **** out of them.
Black man: What?!
Another passenger: Stop it!
The black man walks to the front again to continue the confrontation.
At 1:40, the black man lunges at Bruso, being the first to elevate the conflict to physical violence when he attempts to strike him in the chest, but the blow is mostly deflected by Bruso’s arm.
Bruso stands up and punches the black man in the face repeatedly. At least 9 punches can be seen, then the camera moves too much to get a clear view.
At 1:51 the black man can be seen shielding his face.
Bruso: Don’t **** with me! He hit me! He fuckin’ hit me!
As can be seen earlier in the video, the black man attempted to either hit or shove him, but failed to connect.
Epic Beard Man exits the bus.
Bruso: He fuckin’ hit me first! He hit me in the face! [unintelligible] – self defense!
Bruso was not hit in the face. It appears as though he may have been struck in the arm or chest.
At 2:07, blood spatter is visible on the seats of the bus.
At 2:22 Iyanna picks up a bag left by the old man.
Iyanna: Open that ****! laughs
Various passengers comment on what they’ve witnessed.
Iyanna: We can press charges, blood. I got in on videotape. He’s leakin’.
Black man: That motherfucker hit me. No no no no no.
Another passenger: Did he break your teeth?
Black man: No. Bring an ambulance.
Because of the man’s bleeding, injured face, his pronunciation of the word “Ambulance” has been misheard by many as either “bring M&M’s” or “bring amber lamps.”
The black man then claims he will “kill that nigga.”
Then there are some more remarks from various passengers, and the scene ends with a shot of a bench reading “Keep our city clean & safe. Do your part.”

It warms the heart when a mouthy "bad a$$" gets a face full. Maybe he'll keep his mouth shut for a day or two.
Having said that, the bearded guy coulda just moved to the front of the buss (as he did) AND could have shut the hell up which might have let the situation blow over. Both were mouthy I suppose.

I thought the old man was known as Vietnam tom. You should find the follow up videos, where a radio station found them both and offered a real fight between them inside a ring. Black man declined and apologized for his actions that day. The lady that stole Tom's bag got in trouble for theft.
