There is this particular bus I enter to work the driver (a young chap) and I have become good friends, we are so close that he calls me every morning to tell me his waiting for me and I have my reserved seat in the front too (that’s what I call customer service… lol) Akin (his name) has been through a lot and I must say, he has made the most and his happy with how far he has accomplished.
