Deke N Blue: (Note: Ideas and opinions expressed in this blog are not necessarily shared by the transit agency I work for. This is simply an expression of free speech while describing the work bus operators perform.) I have been (and called) many things in this life. Most of all, I'm a writer who happens to drive a bus. In May of '13 I thought it would be fun to write about my job. As a direct result of this blog, I published a book in November of 2017 called "JUST DRIVE - Life in the Bus Lane" (no longer available on Amazon, but the 2nd Edition coming soon to a bookstore near you). I write to provide insight as to what it's like on a bus... From The Driver Side. Thank you for reading!
