True Stories Of The Bus Driver: (And 3 That Aren’t)($6.99Value)

Description

Ever wonder what really happens behind the wheel of a city bus? In True Stories of the Bus Driver (and Three That Aren’t) , veteran bus driver David Scroggins pulls back the curtain on public transit and the unforgettable people who ride it. Drawing from years on the road, this collection of 17 stories is equal parts hilarious, heartwarming, shocking, and deeply human. You’ll meet: A woman who insists she’s the richest person in America — and demands a bus ride to Seattle. - Passengers with service “animals” that definitely aren’t dogs. - Attention seekers, missed buses, and explosive bottles of Mountain Dew. - A full bus of Seahawks fans riding high on game-day energy. - A tense, unforgettable morning involving police, flashing lights, and a reported gun. - A young boy named Kevin whose pure joy reminds us why kindness still matters. Some stories will make you laugh out loud. Some will make you shake your head. A few might even make your heart ache — or restore your faith in humanity. And yes… three of the stories are completely made up. (You’ll probably know which ones.) Told with honesty, humor, and the unique perspective of someone who’s seen every side of human nature from the driver’s seat, this book is for anyone who’s ever ridden public transit — or wondered what the driver must be thinking. Climb aboard. The ride is anything but ordinary. After years of driving a bus, I learned one thing fast: If you sit in the driver's seat long enough, the stories come to you. Passengers say things they probably shouldn't. Strangers become friends. Arguments start over nothing. And every once in a while something happens that's so ridiculous you couldn't make it up. Or could you? Most of the stories in this book are completely true . Three of them? Not a chance. The problem is... after driving a bus for years, the real stories are sometimes harder to believe than the fake ones. So buckle up, grab a seat, and enjoy the ride. Just remember: Three of these stories never actually happened. Good luck figuring out which ones. — Dave 🚍📖 From the Author I've spent a lot of years behind the wheel of a bus, and if there's one thing I've learned, it's that people are endlessly interesting. Every day brings something new. Sometimes it's funny. Sometimes it's heartwarming. Occasionally it's a little strange. And every once in a while... it's downright unbelievable. Over the years I started realizing that some of the moments I experienced—and the stories shared with me by other drivers—were simply too good to forget. The kind of stories that make you laugh long after the shift is over. The kind that remind you how kind, quirky, and unpredictable people can be. So I started writing them down. The stories in this book are based on real experiences from life on the road. A few details have been changed to protect identities, and of course there are three stories in here that I made up completely —but I'm not telling you which ones. That's part of the fun. If you've ever ridden a bus, driven a bus, or just enjoy a good story about the everyday adventures of ordinary people, I hope this book makes you smile. And the next time you step onto a bus, remember— there's probably a story happening right in front of you. Thanks for riding along. From the Inside Flap What really happens on a city bus?
