Having traveled, I know how stressful it can be to have a destination but not knowing exactly where it is.
On the bus going home from Ottawa this past long weekend, a shy young girl travelling alone sitting behind me asked me if I knew how much longer it would take to get to Sudbury. After telling her, I asked her where exactly she was going. She said that she was hoping to get dropped up in Markstay, which is a smaller town located right before Sudbury. I told her that since the bus was doing a local route and hitting small towns along the way, that maybe the town she wanted to get picked up in was already in the itinerary. I told her to follow me as I went to ask the bus driver if this was indeed already in the plan. The bus driver said: "No, not usually, but we can this time!"
After the bus driver and the girl finished talking, she came back to sit down behind me again and genuinely thanked me for the trouble I went through to help her out.

As I arrived at my location, I gave my goodbyes to the girl, wished her good luck and thanked the Greyhound driver. I told him that he was the best one I've had in over 6 years of taking the intercity bus.
Everything is so much easier and pleasant when we just help each other out.
