Life Preserver on Tunnel Bus?

6. January 2009 by admin.

This story goes way back!  It is a true story!

One summer afternoon, a passenger paying his fare asked if it was safe to travel through the Tunnel.  They expressed serious concerns for their safety and told the driver that they could not swim should anything happen.  The driver said, don’t worry about it, for your protection your sit cushion can be used as a flotation device.  That seemed to settle the nerves of the concerned traveler.  The best part of the story is the next person (a regular rider) was surprised to hear this and didn’t know that the bus was equiped with such features. 

Certainly Transit Windsor is concerned about our safety but let me repeat, there are NO floatation devices or life preservers on the Tunnel Bus.

Sometimes people ask some wild questions when entering the Bus.  I close with this one:

 ”Does this Bus go to downtown Canada?” 

If you’re not familiar with Canadian geography, you can brush up on it on Wikipedia:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada. 

If you’re every in “downtown Canada” please let me know, perhaps we can have lunch at one of my favorite Lebanese restaurants.
