Synopsis

There is much to know about being a bus driver. It takes about thirty-five days to train a new employee. But as Doug points out, some skills come through experience that takes years to develop. This "guidebook" or "rule book" contains material needed to choose your style on how to pay at the fare box and where to stand while waiting for the bus. Plus a philosophy on how to maintain dignity and peace when the going gets tough.

"The Dao of things cannot be complete without the Dao of driving a bus. I'd ride with Doug all the way to the Himalayas just to listen to the art of his wisdom."
- David Biddle,
author of Implosions of America--
A Story Collection

"Nice read. I like the mix of situational context and life lessons."
- Chad Upham,
graduate, Art Center College of Design
