Congratulations Thom for your 20th anniversary. I would have made it to 20 if I did not quit my job after 17 years, 3 years ago. And this is how long I have been in my new job.

So what I wanna know is:
Do you ever drive a low rider bus?
And if so, do you sing the low rider song?

Wow, 20 years, Congrats Buddy. Did you know that the New Flyer Buses are built in Canada? I miss driving the buses, maybe soon.

I am off to Cambridge, Kitchener/Waterloo on Tuesday and the testing for Bus Operator with Grand River Transit.

Hope you are having a wonderful vacation in Seattle. Safe trip home.

Thanks for answering, Thom. You’re a good guy. I think I asked about the flashers, but it’s cool to see the buses. Probably moreso than the flashers.

The buses are SO CLEAN! Congratulations, Thom. Sticking with anything for 20 years is an accomplishment these days. Add in the fact that you’ve had to deal with some of the bus riders and deal with labor/management issues — well even Jackie Gleason would say you da bomb!

So, you drive a bus? Hubby’s assistant’s husband drives TheBus, too. Don’t know his name and don’t know his route. He is from the Philippines. They recently bought a Lexus SUV, so obviously he’s well-paid! LOL.

No rainbow paint jobs? Have they phased them all out?

They are rather cool toys ya know? I don’t know why I’ve never had the desire to drive one of them… I certainly have the desire to drive a DUMP TRUCK! And a steeeeeam roller! Maybe even a backhoe. But busses? I just like to RIDE ‘em! It’s something I actually MISS living in the country!

Congratulations on 20 years with the company! You could probably write a book on interesting characters you’ve given a ride to over the years.
