Most people don’t see bus driving as a notable career path, but Tim Watson was content and happy with his life. He thrived on the routine and had even become friends with his regulars.
But Watson was under extreme duress when he noticed this simple detail about a quiet child. In under an hour, his bus was surrounded by police cars, and the bus driver was put in a position where he was the only one able to save a life.
Regular riders
As we mentioned above, Watson was friendly and knew all the local commuters who took his bus well. The Northern California resident had been driving his route for five months now, and in such a short time, he had become friends with all the locals.
His route covered over 15 miles between the Great Mall in Milpitas, California, to the Fremont Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) station. Tim had never seen anything out of the ordinary during his long tenure as a bus driver until one day, a man and a child stepped on his bus.
