That one time a bus driver remembered my stop number for 6 months straight

I used to catch the 7:15 am bus on route 42 in Portland, and this one driver, Frank, somehow memorized that I needed off at stop 18 on Hawthorne. He'd call it out before I even stood up, even on rainy days when he couldn't see me. One morning I overslept and he actually pulled over and shouted back 'You missin' your stop, kid?' - never had another bus driver care that much. Anyone else have a driver who went out of their way like that?

Rode with a driver who named his bus "Bessie" and gave everyone nicknames.

No way, he gave everyone nicknames? That's wild. I can't imagine what mine would be.
