Put OC Transpo on the ‘nice’ list

-

With all of the complaints and horror stories we hear regarding OC Transpo, I thought I’d swing it around and say I have been fortunate to have very positive experience­s with them.

In mid-November, I fractured my ankle and I am no longer able to drive. I have a long commute to work with one transfer. The drivers have been so tremendous­ly helpful and accom- modating during this time. In particular I want to thank Brenda who drives the 99 Lebreton route. Her effort to make sure my journey as unproblema­tic as possible is so appreciate­d. Thanks as well to John who drives the 97 Bells Corners route. Top-notch driving skills also — they sure knew how to handle last week’s snowstorm; I’m sure they’ll do a stellar job following this weekend’s snow accumulati­on, too.

Let’s not always search for something negative to talk about, watch, listen to or read about. Instead, let’s make it something positive. We don’t have to always concentrat­e on the naughty; let’s also look at the nice.

Merry Christmas, OC Transpo.
