There can be good moments on TriMet

See? There are kind & courteous people on the TriMet bus and MAX. fyberduck over at the qfa reminds us that, while public transportation does have its share of… rude & some people doing disgusting things… there are some good folks riding.

One of her stories:

“This morning, as I traversed the deep and murky waters of public transportation, a young mother with a toddler and itty-bitty baby got on the bus. There weren’t any seats in the front (not that anyone were going to give up, anyway), so she made her way to the back of the bus. I noticed that the seat across the aisle from me was empty, so I jumped up and intended to offer her my seat so her son could sit opposite her. Well, apparently this wasn’t just my idea. The man opposite scooted over, the man next to me got up, and we all managed to rearrange ourselves neatly by the time the family got to our bench that they could sit down without a fuss.”

Good stuff… thanks for sharing!
