With gas prices on the rise and new policies and ideas on the table, it's time to look at how we get around. We all need to get someplace and we use many different modes of transportation to do so. As we kick off 2011 at OnMilwaukee.com, we're taking an in-depth look at how we get around with a special "Transportation Week," featuring all kinds of stories about how Milwaukee gets where it's going. So, buckle up, hop on and all aboard.
Maybe I’m being overly emotional today, but I believe I witnessed a nice moment between two bus riders, and since it’s Transportation Week on OnMilwaukee.com, I thought I’d share.
I was stopped at a red light on Center Street and Martin Luther King Drive when a guy waiting for a bus on one corner noticed a guy running to catch a bus that was pulling away across the street.
The waiting guy ran towards the bus shouting and waving for the driver to stop and wait for the man who was running to catch the bus. The driver stopped. The man got on the bus. The other man went back to his corner and continued to wait.
And I felt good about people for a minute.
