Today I experienced something on the bus that I had never experienced before… a funny, enjoyable and truly helpful bus driver who actually made the 10 minutes I spent on the bus today a joy. It inspired me to search the internet looking for stories of other bus drivers who take it upon themselves to make the world a better place for their passengers. This search led me to a story about Christopher Dolan, an opera-singing bus driver from New York City.
His story has given me an idea that can help save the world. If all bus companies would require the road-safe talents of their bus drivers to be displayed during operation (and train those whose only discernible talent is driving a bus to offer more), it would increase ridership, which would decrease congestion and carbon emissions and lower our reliance on fossil fuels. Wow, look at that, my first post and I have solved the world’s energy problems.
Anyways, you can check out the whole story here or a video of Christopher in action below (albeit, not on a bus).
