Operator of the month
Dwight Stewart was driving the bus and noticed that a young boy, about 12 years
old, was looking anxious and not exiting the bus. Dwight called Bus Dispatch,
and the police and EMTs met the bus and ended up taking the young boy to the
hospital, because he was not responding when they were trying to ask him
questions. Meet Dwight Stewart.
