Bus 65. Driver: Lester.

Lester was a cranky old man who would have rather have had a red-hot poker inserted into any bodily orifice than interact with a child. He may have been one of the MIA Alcatraz escapees.

Noise on the bus was forbidden. One day a few kids were pretty wound up and couldn’t keep quiet. Lester decided to deal with it the only way he knew how. He pulled the bus over in some neighborhood not on the normal route, turned the engine off, and refused to move until “you kids shut the hell up!” So, there we sat for over an hour while a few of the kids kept tittering on and off. I think finally one kid may have threatened to pee on the floor and Lester finally fired ‘er up.

Nothing like the 1980s for mass kidnappings.
