It is raining outside...more like pouring really. Until I get my car situation fixed I have to make do riding my bike to work on the weekends because the busses don't run at 0500 lol. Fortuneatly, I can catch a bus back home. I get off of work at 18:00 to the tune of a downpour, not suprising since its been raining ALL day today but I was hoping that the rain dried up by the time I had to bike to the bus stop. I got there in time to catch the 18:12 bus. The busses here have a rack on the front to acomodate two, sometimes three bikes. If your particular bus has a full rack, the policy is that you have to wait for the next bus to come along your route. The next bus was an hour away and of course 18:12 had its bike rack occupied. I was covered in water and I must have looked like absolute hell. I was about to resign myself to an hour of waiting in the rain when the bus driver stopped and let me on the bus with my bike! . There are wheelchair areas big enough for a bike to fit in and since they weren't being used the nice lady let me stand with my bike and told me if someone did need the spot I'd have to get off. I was more than happy to even get a few blocks closer to home! I know that its against policy for them to let bikes INSIDE the bus so I made sure to get off a few stops before the main station (finding a stop on my route closer to home in the process )
I wanted to give the lady a hug. Ive had busses drive right past me without stopping before so this extra bit of niceness really really made me happy. Ive been feeling down all day but things like this really show me the love and kindness that people are capable of showing. THANK YOU SO MUCH bus lady! God Bless you!
I had to share this bit of kindness with you all. Love is still in the world!
