Hey Eddie!
Is that a photo of the bus you drive at work???
Ha ha!
Very funny Tom.
No, but just recently, I was assigned one of our older Ford Econoline series paratransit buses. The power and brakes and steering broke down shortly before I arrived for a pick up passenger in Palatine Illinois. I was told to dropp off the passenger because He was a short distance away from where He had to go, and to Immeditely bring the bus back to the garage.
It was My first week as a solo driver upon completion of My training, and it was also My first mechanical failure in transit.
I was assigned one of the NEW buses that afternoon. It was like driving a Cadilac.
Thank You.
Eddie K.
