Ok there was no incident per se, except if you call driving a 15 ton, 40 foot bus in traffic without hitting anyone or coliding with curbs an incident! I call it a miracle. Here I am just moments before getting in the driver's seat and piloting this bus into traffic and across the river. No I did not pick up any passengers (except a transit employee) but I did get the bus up to road speeds.

We are five days into our training and I understand that we'll be in the bus every day from here on out. In case you're wondering about the stuff in my hands, we have a trash bag, transfers, paper towels and my left over drink from lunch. Also I'm wearing my camera bag over my shoulder because I wanted to get this picture for you. I'm the only geek in my class who wanted his picture with the sign. Call it silly, but I want to remember the first day I drove a bus in traffic (and didn't kill anyone) before the incident.

Have a great weekend!
