This love goes out to a very nice bus driver on the 2 on Wed night. I was stuck working till 1130 that night and had a called a cab that failed to show up after 30 minutes. Knowing that there was an 80 due to come, I sauntered over to the bus stop hoping that the I didn’t miss it. The #2 bus came and I asked if the 80 was coming anytime soon. The driver said he wasn’t sure but that he would wait for a few extra minutes to see if it’s late. I was a little distraught as it was already a long day and it was bound to get longer, and I didn’t want to walk alone down Robie at midnight. Just as the driver was about to pull off, he caught sight of the 80 and let me know/flagged down the bus to stop for me.
Thank you Mr Bus Driver. You made a very shitty night so much better. I was having such a bad night but your kindness in waiting meant a lot to me. —Lonely girl bus rider
