Today, the weather wrecked havoc on after-work traffic! The wet snow and slush caused many drivers to become overly cautious or not cautious enough. As for me, I was expecting to ride the bus back home in this white wash.
At my transfer point, several buses got stuck trying to go up a hill. My bus kept persevering, pressing on foot by foot (or meter by meter, whatever floats your boat, I guess), just like the Little Engine That Could. My bus made it over the hill (worthy of applause for our great bus driver!), until it got stuck at another point. Another bus came to rescue us to take us to another transfer point, where I took my final bus to the stop two blocks from my place.
The snow was beautiful, but hazardous for all drivers. My fellow passengers were able to keep in relatively good spirits despite everything, and I felt the same way. I am grateful for today's transit bus drivers, for their diligence and perseverance as they navigated the weather and relied on the patience of others. They truly do great work. :)
