Metro Transit bus is scene of compassionate action

The people and the operator of Route 82 coming home last night rallied to come to the aid of an elderly gentleman who was unable to find the stop he wanted in Bedford. From my vantage point near the back of the bus, I witnessed the gentleman approach the operator with a question about the location of the apartments which were his destination. The people close to the man and some from the back conversed and soon reached a consensus as to where the man wanted to go. They informed the operator who had already stopped the bus and was conferring with the dispatcher for some assistance. One lady offered that she was being picked up by someone with a car at the next stop and they would drive the gentleman to the apartments which were his destination. The bus had passed the stop he wanted by about a kilometer. Many stories seem to surface of a decline of civility on our buses. This is a tale of care and compassion. All the busy passengers suspended their rush hour schedules to help this gentleman. Only in Nova Scotia? I doubt in!
