Dear Sir,

I had the need to travel by bus number eight this morning from Hamilton to Southampton. It was early, 8am, and the bus was relatively full of children travelling to school.

As the bus made its way and others boarded at each stop, it was a pleasure to see students without hesitation standing and giving their seat to older persons.

It was an added pleasure to also hear them thanking the driver as they alighted.

What a wonderful way to start the day!
