Thousands of people use public transport on a daily basis to travel from one place to another. And for most of the traveling, everybody prefers a bus because it is convenient and cheap. It’s not that a bus driver’s job is easy or something but we all know that this job isn’t something which is filled with all sorts of excitement. So, why are we even talking about it? It is because this bus driver’s life changed completely when he met new faces on his bus that he hadn’t seen before. This story would change the way you saw bus drivers. There is so much in this story that it doesn’t feel like it happened in reality. Let’s see who were these two new strangers who changed everything for the bus driver.

A Typical Day

Nobody ever sleeps in the night knowing what would happen the next day. Even the bus driver wasn’t expecting anything as he has never seen anything unreal in his entire career. But that day he met with the most unbelievable event of his life. He wasn’t ready to accept something like this in his life but then things happen when they are meant to happen.

The Regulars

Bus drivers have a very specific route on which they drive on a daily basis. And because they follow the same route every day they have some passengers who ride to work or school and these people in the bus driver’s term are known as “The Regulars.” Because these regulars travel to work every day and just like the bus they also follow the same route to reach the destination. It’s this common route between the regulars and drivers that have made them aware of the faces that travel daily and because of that, they can easily spot a stranger. That day this bus driver saw two people whom he knew weren’t regulars. Then who were they?

Daily Life On The Road

Tim Watson a Valley Transportation Authority bus driver in San Francisco has always paid attention to his passengers. Sitting in the driving seat he makes sure that he checks on the passengers getting on and off his bus. Some of them had even become his friends. But the moment he saw those two passengers he knew that they weren’t from around. Then who were they?

Friendly Driver

People loved Tim and whenever they get on and off the bus, they had a smile on their faces and always tried to catch up with Tim before deboarding the bus. Tim often replies to them by saying things like “take care” or “enjoy your day.” In return, they would wish him the same and for his safety on the road.

First-Time Passengers

That day, Tim was driving on his regular route. The day was going well, and he was operating as smoothly as he can. Then, on a bus stop, a man and a boy got on his bus, looking at them Tim could tell that something was bothering both of them but as he was busy driving the bus he didn’t jump onto any conclusions. To keep a check on his passengers he kept looking at them through rear view. 

Making Eye Contacts

Tim was sure that these two strangers who had entered his bus weren’t his regulars. The man who seemed to be in his mid-twenties was looking very disturbed. He was holding the boy’s hand very tightly as he didn’t want the boy to go anywhere. They both chose to sit in the middle row of the bus. Clearly, something was not right with both of them. More than the guy, Tim was worried about the little kid who was clearly not up for a bus- drive but then Tim thought that kids are like that.
