Take A Ride Down Memory Lane


Anna is awoken by a loud screeching noise, after a few seconds of pure panic, she realizes that it's just her iPhone reminding her that she is a workhorse and her day starts at 6am. As she drags herself out of the bed,  she thinks about the long and tiring day ahead of her. Rushing through her morning chores of getting the children ready, preparing lunches for all of them, answering an early morning request from her boss, and finally, getting ready herself.

Just around the corner, the school-bus comes to pick the kids up, and as Anna waves them goodbye, she wistfully thinks of her own school days. Even though her Dad could drop her to school, she always insisted on riding in the school bus. Her reasoning to her dad was that riding on the bus added 30 more minutes to her day. She could listen to her favourite Aerosmith songs, read a few chapters of Sidney Sheldon's books, or finish her assignments. After a long night of Drew Barrymore movies, she would just snuggle into the comfortable seats and doze off.

https://www.ourbus.com The ringing of her cell phone brought Anna back to reality, it was a minute arrival notification on OurBus App. And within a minute OurBus bus had arrived, just like her dreamy school days she loved to ride in it too. Many things had changed for Anna in the past 10 years but one thing remained the same, a comfortable and convenient ride to work. Sure, Aerosmith songs on her walkman & Sidney Sheldon's novels had been replaced by excel sheets on her Macbook. But if anything, this had been a positive change for her as she no more had to worry about running out of battery as her trusted OurBus buses had individual charging ports. The complimentary Wi-Fi on her bus meant that she needn't scribble notes anymore, she could continue working on Google Docs. But the long nights remained the same, now it wasn't the movies that kept her awake but her baby. Well, she could always nap in the cozy seats of her OurBus bus the next day.

 The familiar bus driver greeted her with a friendly nod, she took out her vanity kit and headed straight to the bus' restroom to fix her hair, the baby had playfully pulled at. Once back in her seat, Anna checked her real-time ETA on her OurBus Commute app and calmly closed her eyes knowing that even if her day at work was going to be a stressful one, her commute would not be. Walking a few steps to her office, she smiled realizing that her husband in Texas would have received a notification of her safe drop and would not worry unnecessarily.

Just like Anna, we can't take away the hustle of your work but we can definitely make the journey to your office a pleasant one. Be it a long ride from New York City to Washington DC, a commute from Central New Jersey to New York City, or an intercity route from Northeast Pennsylvania to NYC.
