A bus driver who was FIRED, because he was WAY too considerate of his passengers, from the Front Page Sections, translated…
The bus driver for the Fucheng Transportation Company, because he was kind in waiting for the elderly during his rounds, making him late to return to the bus depot, he received a reprimand, he’d handed in his resignation, but he’d still worried about the elderly people who rode his bus from before; two days ago, he’d stood by the bus stops, accompanied the elderly as they waited for the bus in the rain, he said, that he was only a small bus driver, he’d hoped, to use his small capabilities, to help the drivers, as well as the other passengers, to be more patient, tolerant, and show more respect toward the elderly who are riding the busses.

“Grandma, Route 2 is coming in!”, two days ago, as dawn was breaking, Huang made it to the gathering bus stop of some of his handicapped and elderly handicaps, accompanied them to wait for the bus. He said, that these passengers are slower, sometimes, they’d not raised their arms high enough, they couldn’t catch up to the busses, and so, they can only wait, for the next one. Two days ago, there was a downpour, he feared, that the bus driver may not notice the people who are hiding out in between the buildings from the rain, he’d gone up to help them out, he said, he’s helping them, one at a time.
A lot of the passengers became friends with Huang, and heard, that they will never be on the bus he drives, they’d all felt very sad. Members of the online community inquired, “Not giving commends to those who’d done well on the job, instead, chasing them away, is, this, the RIGHT kind of values we should carry now?”, and there are those who’d suggested, that Huang would be even better, as a driver of a handicap bus, or no-restraints cab, that they can just, flag him down, and there’s no need for the schedules.
The fifty-five year-old, Mrs. Kang would often take Route Two to visit her friends, and she’d had instances where the drivers sped past her stop, or those who’d slammed on the brakes, after they realized that someone needed to get off, and, after the driver let the passengers off, he’d not allowed her to get on, just, sped off.
Huang said, that after the news got out, a lot of the people contacted him, wanted to offer him the work opportunities, or have him drive those who are limited in mobility, but he just loved driving the bus, because he has the chance of getting into contact with an assortment of people, he’d planned to let everything sink in, before he thinks about his next steps in life.
And so, this, is how the kindness of a bus driver got punished, by him, getting fired, it’s NOT right, and besides, as a bus driver, you’re supposed to service the public, and from what was told her, this bus driver had gone over AND beyond the call of HIS duty, to help the passengers in need out, and the government agencies are still, a stickler for rules, and, sometimes, those rules are what causes people to be aloof and cold.
