As a child, he bonded with his bus driver over a love of public transit. Over a decade later, they’re colleagues at DC Metro

Though Sam Mencimer didn’t know it at the time, all those moments with his favorite bus driver, Joy Kenley – the never-ending questions, the bus depot tour – would have a lasting impact on his life.

The deep blue seats are called priority seats, that means you’ll need to yield it to those who are in needs. But it’s insane that some string elderly people require the seats from some young but weak people. This is kinda of cursed seats no one dares touch while the coach is full of people.So sick!
