Universal Orlando Bus Driver Rescues A Wayward Turtle At Volcano Bay

ORLANDO, FLORIDA (May 21, 2018)

I am a bus driver at Universal Studios in Orlando. I was on my lunch break when a turtle - who is a regular customer, by the way - returned to his favorite spot, the bus platform roadway.

I dutifully put my food down (not an easy task in my case, as you will see), picked him up and returned him to the retaining pond where he lives.

While Volcano Bay's turtles tend to confine themselves to either of the two ponds next to the park, we tend to see a lot more of them during the spring as the boys are out looking for a girlfriend.

And, to my co-worker, who was saying, "Oh my God, are you serious?"

All I can say is, "As serious as a heart attack, honey."

I'm a serious man in a serious business.

It's a damn sight better than drive the ol' GO Transit bus back in Toronto.

The buses you see driving past are 2017 and 2018 New Flyer XD40s. I had to move to Florida to drive a Canadian bus.
