Have you thanked your bus driver lately?
International Bus Driver Appreciation Day is Monday, March 18, 2013.
Consider this: For hours on end, transit bus drivers manage to keep a schedule, check fares, give directions, announce stops, remember stop requests and more, all while safely maneuvering an extra-large vehicle through unpredictable traffic, adverse weather conditions and some really tight spaces! The fact is, bus drivers don't have an easy job, they just make it look that way.
On March 18, join us in celebrating the contributions of our hard-working transit bus drivers (and rail operators, too!). That could be as simple as a smile when you board the bus, and a "thank you" when you leave. Or, you can print out and personalize one of the thank-you cards below. You can also help by spreading the word using the sharing links provided. And, don't forget to submit an official commendation for a job well done, so your drivers can be formally recognized for their efforts. (You can do that any time of year!)

About International Bus Driver Appreciation Day
OK, so maybe it's not an official holiday… yet. Here's your chance to help us spread the word and make it a tradition!
School bus drivers have their day to shine, and so do truck drivers. Bus Driver Appreciation Day was conceived in 2009 by some riders in Seattle, and we think it's a great way to honor the many hard-working transit bus (and rail) drivers who keep us all moving every day.
Why March 18?
That's the day that bus service is believed to have debuted in Paris in 1662.
