I know people will bitch about this and that about our transit system so it’s time for some love:
-Love to the bus driver who got to know my name and greets me with a warm good morning.
-Love to the driver who offered me a free ride when I was having the worst night.
-Love to the driver who made sure my laptop was safe and sound and made sure it found its way back to me.
-Love to the driver who insanely honked the horn at one girl walking across the street… saving her from getting hit by a speeding car.
-Love to heated buses on the coldest nights.
-Love to the driver who intentionally held up traffic so an elderly rider could make her way safely across a busy street.
-Love to the driver who helped a woman with her grocery bags.
-Love to the driver who just smiled and laughed and understood that I forgot my bus pass.

nice love, i don’t know how they put up with the unwashed masses
A great, cheerful bus driver on the 18 yesterday afternoon. And usually really cheerful guys driving the 42 weekday mornings. Love it! Makes 30 minutes on the bus seem a little better.
At last! Some much needed positivity here.
