Dear Driver,

You let me on the bus even though I had left my bus tickets on my desk at home, enabling me to make my 1:00 appointment. And you did so quietly and with a smile.

Thank you! Your kindness caused me to spend the rest of the sunny spring day smiling. — = )

  3. In Vancouver, if you come on the bus dressed in filthy raggety clothes smelling like a dumpster carrying a garbage bag full of cans and slur to the driver “cannnyou take me downtown?” you can also get a free ride. You’re also allowed to shoot up, smoke crack, and shit on the buses in Vancouver.
