In the light of some negative press about the safety of the bus, I wanted to share some encouraging news. In case you haven't heard, a female bus driver was robbed one evening last week. Unfortunately, this happened on the route near our home. Thankfully, the driver is fine and the robber was caught and her items returned. And in all fairness, any of us could have the same experience in our car, home or while shopping.
But despite the reality that there are those out there with harmful intentions, we must believe that there are also people around with good motives. The same week as the robbery and on the exact same route, my son lost his cell phone. We searched high and low, and then one evening while my husband was riding home another passenger overheard him talking about the lost phone. The passenger told my husband he had found the phone, recognized our son's picture, and turned it in to the MTA office! In spite of the not so positive events, we are comforted to know that there are still good people out there, and some of them happen to ride the bus.
