Our Happy Bus Driver List Is Building! (Number 14)

Just when you thought summer was over, you do not want to enter a bus and the open windows are the actual air conditioner. Yet the heat is on and  not only the heat was on the bus driver. Busways bus driver GR 5865 had advised this was the bus he was driving and it is hot. In this heat week in Sydney it could easily cause a potential heart attack or stroke.


As  he was driving you could see he was a hard working man and that it was a day like this that makes his condition difficult. Even I was feeling the heat. Then ask I asked him if he had heard about the Happy Bus Drivers Register, he said one of the other drivers gave him a small information slip on our group, so he knew about it.


I then asked him of what he thought of being a happy driver and he smiled and said, 'Yes, he is sometimes!' His issue was when some commuters  get upset on him. I returned the comment - the more you are happy to each commuter  it will bite them upset commuter back one day, when they realise they should not have been rude! He totally agreed with me and he appeared as if he would continue to be happy!


This makes me feel we need to educate the commuters as well as the drivers to be nice - I mean nice words bring out nice people in all of us!
