On The Buses

Dad worked many years as a TTC bus driver, and for a while as a street car driver.

 

One busy rush hour,  around 6:30pm, Dad drove past the Golden Mile Plaza where Mom worked. Ever mindful of her expectation that he pick her up after work and deliver her home,  he pulled in to the mall, and parked out front of the Hudson Bay store to wait.

 

It was at this point, a voice from behind asked, "Driver. What are we doing here ?" As Dad turned about with surprise, he realized he had a full bus load of passengers coming home from a busy day at work,  not to mention he was still driving the company vehicle, a full size bus.  "Just taking the scenic route."
