Most manual wheelchairs are not transit rated. Meaning she would be safer strapped to the bus seat. I can’t tell for sure because I’m on a phone. While he may have secured the chair,she was not belted in. IA lot of injuries caused when buses stop suddenly and the passenger slides out of the chair to the ground. This bus driver is a good person and his heart is exactly where it needs to be. Buddha
I've seen it happen. Guy was sitting in one of those sideway seats. Bus driver was in a hurry as it was the last run. He passed someone waiting at a bus stop and the passengers in the bus yelled for him to stop. Guy flew out of his seat and slid on the floor for about 10 feet. Funny as hell since he didn't get hurt. Worked in a city where if the bus drivers were running late on their route they wouldn't stop for anyone in a wheelchair. -sammy
I'm guessing it was recorded by the buses' security cameras. And no, it's not staged. Handicapped lady told the other passenger "Can you believe it? He does this for me every day".
When my son was small, he would run outside to wave at the garbage truck driver, who would always respond by honking his horn. Considering how important sanitation workers are to our society, it make sense to show some appreciation.
UN - freekin' - BELIEVABLE ... and I say that with complete and total disbelief. I have never- ever seen this sort of incredible service anywhere at any time!!!
thank you Wisco, for sending this in, and thank you Kenny for posting it. Shows that we maybe don't have to burn it all down. I have a great deal of respect for this bus driver. Some men exist to show others what "being a man" is.
I worked for a steel fab shop in the mid-80s that buils actual wheelchair lifts for pretty much all brands of buses. It would come out from under the bus, they would roll on and the ramp folded up to prevent the chair from rolling back off and then it would come up level with the floor. Was one of the few things I felt really good about helping produce.
A very good man!
ReplyDeleteRespect!
ReplyDeleteWonderful human
ReplyDeleteLife and how to live it.
ReplyDeleteNice and all but isn’t that a handicapped accessible ramp at the door?
ReplyDeleteThis shows there is still hope for this country.
ReplyDeleteThat guy goes straight to heaven
ReplyDeleteRamp isn't as useful as a real lift but meets Fed Standards (Barely). Clearly you've never had to be rolled up into a bus ramp. A real Gentleman.
ReplyDeleteManhood done right.
ReplyDeleteAmen!
DeleteRestores my faith in humanity.

NEVER seen a seatbelt on a bus. Not one.

It would be an honor to buy a drink for that bus driver. He is a class act.
ReplyDeleteAbove and beyond the call!
ReplyDeleteWhat a totally wonderful man, proof that there are more of us than them.
ReplyDeletegod smiles and restores his faith.
ReplyDeleteWonderful, really, but...who filmed this? I sure hope it wasn't staged.
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing it was recorded by the buses' security cameras.
DeleteAnd no, it's not staged. Handicapped lady told the other passenger "Can you believe it? He does this for me every day".
Of course, that is only half of a lovely story - how she got dressed and to the bus stop is the other half.
ReplyDeleteI thank him for his service. We unfortunately often ignore these common daily heroes that our society cannot work without.

DeleteWe can all aspire to be as good a human being as that bus driver is...G-D Bless Him.
ReplyDeleteIf you could run across just one person with that much compassion every day maybe it would start to rub off.
ReplyDeleteThat man is what every man should aspire to be.
ReplyDeleteHope springs eternal.
ReplyDeleteThat made my day.

ReplyDeleteI see something like this and think perhaps we do not need to burn it all,as someone mentioned buying the driver a drink I will buy the second round.
ReplyDeleteThat's not something you see every day, at least any more. I think its been going downhill since the 70's and i'm not that old...yet.

Just when I've decided that the world has turned into a steaming cesspool, I see something like this. Give this man a raise.
