I had the sweetest bus driver on Saturday night.
I got on the bus, a bit glammed up (on my way to Fotini's birthday). I paid the bus driver exact change & I gave him a big smile as I was feeling happy. He gave me my ticket and my money back. I was confused & asked him 'How much did I give you?'. He looked at me, smiled and said '$2.70' (the correct fare - that he'd just given me back)! I gave him another big smile & said thank you! He was giving me a free ride.
We got to Wynyard (sometimes the last stop) and I asked if the bus was stopping there or going on to Town Hall. He thought for a second & said "I can take you up to Town Hall if you like." I thanked him again, said that'd be great & sat back down. Other passengers saw me sit down, which prompted them to ask the same question. He said yeah, he'd take them all up to Town Hall.
He made no attempt to chat me up. When I got off I said thank you again & told him I really appreciated it. I love it when people give unconditionally :)
