Another Happy Driver - Excited! (Number 8)

Well, our Happy Bus Drivers  Register is increasing. Tonight I was on the 758 and the lady bus driver GS 1336, at first she looked like it was her last trip and when I  prompted her she advised that she had one more trip to go 750 and then home around 10pm.

As I spoke to she advised that she had a  day where young kids let her down and that was around St Marys where a couple of kids stopped the bus on a bus stop, got on the bus and asked questions about the bus water or water. They had  no reason to actually get on the bus and travel - they kept asking ridiculous questions and waisted not only her time but the time of other passengers. Other passengers suggested to the driver to just close the door and she hesitated due to OH&S of these children, until they went off the bus.

I said to her don't worry there are other children that will make her smile. She smiled and agreed, also told her to be positive, polite, say 'Hello' and 'Good bye' to each passenger. She then explained she was excited about her job - liked being a bus driver, working within the community. I advised her will add her to our, 'Happy Bus Drivers Register,' gave her our contact details and she said something like, 'This is real'! Maybe she thought I was on drugs before.....
