Stop

afternoon where everyone was donning on summer clothing- tops and shorts. I am sitting in a sheltered bus stop near Hitchcock hall, a place where students are walking to class or waiting for bus. From where I am sitting, I could hear the chatters of peers, the beeping sound from the traffic light and the sound of vehicle’s engine.

selfies and I felt bad. I could only imagine what he could have been thinking. Of course, it is possible that he could have just been looking that direction. I decided not to use those pictures as proof of my bus ride. The bus stopped at the first stop and the man exited the bus making several trips to move his bags. I asked the bus driver if she knew any more information about the man as far as where he goes since she sees him daily. She said he takes different busses and at night he sleeps in…

Every since the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and the Federal Rehabilitation Act passed in 1973 Valley Metro has been dedicated to provide a transportation service that is contented and suitable for everyone.

Every driver is different; however, there are three categories that they can be grouped into: the overly cautious driver, the normal driver, and the reckless driver.
