Double Time - BIG Time

i recall one day on my birthday, the Ctrain had a problem along the tracks and drivers were called in to shuttle around the problem. I think that i went 12hrs that day with no lunch break. Happy birthday!

Millions of Miles I Think I Have Travelled

Gee, since i started in 1978, i am sure that i have covered a lot of miles. Not to mention the miles that i had put on during my vacations as well. I practically lived on the bus when you get down to it. And what about the future? Retirement? Maybe owning an RV and travelling all over the country... of course!

A Different Thought

When i moved here to work, i looked at it as the company paying me gas money to tour the city until i could tour here and wherever i wanted to go under my own funding.

New to the City

Well, as part of the training, i had to answer the phones, give directions and tell people what bus to take and i was new to the city!!! I was also smart so i asked what bus runs by their location. I could quickly locate the area and times for them after that.
It was about a two month challenge for me to learn the routes and the city. And even after that, the first trip was the challenge to relocate the landmarks and the turns.

Training Class

I started with a class of 12 and over the years, there are only a few left of the original class. People come and go, but this ole boy is still here! Well, i guess that it is my turn to look for the exit door. One day!
