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.
