Looking Back

Missing a Turn...

Do buses ever go off route? For detours, yes. For making a wrong turn, yes! And some turns you miss can be very difficult to get back on the right path. Turn off the wrong exit and you might have fun trying to get turned around somewhere to get the mistake corrected.

Last Night - Different Friday

I was sitting at Whitehorn stn when an unmarked car pulled up, two lady officers got out and ran up the stairs to the station. Then came a second police vehicle and two officers and someone with observer marked on their coat followed them up. Then came 3 more police vehicles with 6 officers hurrying up the stairs. At the same time HAWKES, the police helicopter flew overhead with it's powerful spotlight shining down on the station. And it was time for me to pull out so i never did find out what was going down there.

Memories of the Ctrain

A 3 week course to learn the skills and then off i went on an adventure! A number of people who took the course could not ride the rails with no steering wheel. It certainly isn't for everyone.

4 Years on the Ctrain!

Four years driving one of these before i called it a day and returned to being a bus operator. I have a number of stories over a 4yr period to tell as well.

Meeting People

This is a fun job to get to know of the regular bus riders with various occupations or retired now. You meet some really interesting different kinds of people as well. Had an oriental lady who got on the bus, left a goodie bag on my dash, said some blessing to the folks on the bus and then left. Some of the senior drivers will recall her.
