It takes a village to get a bus moving again

Today’s post is brought to you by Roadguy’s boss. The text below is her status update yesterday on Facebook (where, by the way, you can become a fan of Roadguy and see who else already is). Here’s her update:

Today’s commute on the 24 bus had more stop-and-go than usual. The wheelchair lift got stuck on a telephone pole. No amount of lever-pushing would free it, so the driver called for help. But a passenger decided to put the mass in mass transit. He got out and pushed the lift clear of the pole, helped off the person who needed to use the lift and quietly took his seat as his fellow riders applauded.

More local transit stories are available every day at bustales.com and pickingupstrangers.com — and you can always share them with Roadguy, too, even if you’re not his boss.
