International Bus Driver Appreciation Day is March 18, 2013!

[WMAveteran]

 Consider this: For hours on end, transit bus drivers manage to keep a schedule, check fares, give directions, announce stops, remember stop requests and more, all while safely maneuvering an extra-large vehicle through unpredictable traffic, adverse weather conditions and some really tight spaces! The fact is, bus drivers don't have an easy job, they just make it look that way.
On March 18, join us in celebrating the contributions of our hard-working transit bus drivers (and rail operators, too!). That could be as simple as a smile when you board the bus, and a "thank you" when you leave. Or, you can print out and personalize one of the thank-you cards below. You can also help by spreading the word using the sharing links provided. And, don't forget to submit an official commendation for a job well done, so your drivers can be formally recognized for their efforts. (You can do that any time of year!)  For more information go to busdriverday.org.
