I have managed to find a group of people employed by the university who actually care about its students: the bus drivers. I take the bus quite a bit from my parking space in Eden (see a previous rant) and all of the bus drivers are super kind and nice to students. There was only one exception (she tried to run over students and yelled at them) and she lasted less than a semester.
They always say hello, and tell you to have nice day. And this week, when I was traveling to a final, along the bus route we came across two students (in different spots) hurrying to their destination. They were not even close to bus stops, but the bus driver stopped and let them on. (It's University policy that the bus only stops at established bus stops). Did it take more time to get me somewhere? Yea, about 30 seconds total. If 30 seconds was going to save me from missing something, I didn't plan well enough to begin with. It may have been more work for the bus driver, or an "inconvenience" to me, but I know for a fact, it made a HUGE difference for those two students, who made it to the library 5-10 minutes sooner. I know that makes a difference.
So bravo bus drivers, we love you bunches.
Until next time,
:)
