Behold the beauty of Houston’s Bus Lady, Janis Scott, who may singlehandedly boost public transportation with her bountiful enthusiasm for the humble city bus …
Her smile and simply wonderful wisdom are arguably more persuasive than an entire city’s propaganda.
“There’s all types of reasons to ride the bus,” Janis encourages. “Make new friends, learn about things … you want to get people out of their cars and mix, mix, mix. That’s true in any city. Try it, you’ll like it!”
The Bus Lady is terrific! What a city ambassador for badly needed public transportation and a friend to thousands of citizens in Houston. Her collaborative and positive message is an example of how we can make our cities friendlier and more livable. Thanks for sharing this today!
The whole world needs this dear lady! Think of the improvements in our health and well being if more people rode the bus. Around here you almost never see more than one person per car on the highway at rush hour. It’s such a shame.
The Bus Lady is the perfect spokeswoman for public transportation. She sees nothing but the positive and the potentially possibilities of riding amongst others of different ages and backgrounds. About 2 minutes up the road from us we have a highly used public transportation route that hits all major cities and takes you directly to the airport. My family travels this way when we need to fly. The ticket to ride to and from costs extremely less then gas and parking!
