My fellow bus driving buddy Wayne. Evanston Illinois, Circa 2012.

 

Hi everyone! This is Eddie K, your host and photographer here

at Eddie's Railfan Page. I am a bus operator by trade, and I had

started my career as a bus driver in 2008, working in paratransit

ADA handicapped service, driving mini buses in Chicago's north

and northwest suburbs. I did this for 6 and a half years.

 

Seen here standing next to this gray MV Transport Ford mini bus,

is an old friend of mine named Wayne. We worked together for

a few years at the now closed First Transit / North Cook garage in

north suburban Glenview Illinois. Wayne and I, were always

swapping stories and having a good laugh or two at work.

 

After a few years, Wayne decided to work for MV Transport. I

would occasionally spot him at a handicapped passenger pick up

site or two, like a special needs school or workshop, or even

stopping for a coffee at a local Mc Donald's fast food place.

 

I am now working at my 3rd bus job , and I still think about

the great people I worked with at one time like Wayne, and

several fellow drivers and staff members in years past.

 

Thanks.

Eddie K.
