Every week, we will take the public transport to Chinatown for our grocery. Today the bus was fully packed with football fans on their way to the stadium.
"50th Jackson Street. Folks going to the SeaHawks game stay on board."
With only 2 persons alighted, the bus moved on with load of passengers buzzing over the football game. Suddenly, the bus slowed down. The driver voice cracked over the speaker catching everyone by surprise. "Listen up folks ! This is an important announcement." The whole bus went dead silent, thinking some serious road condition had happened.
"The SeaHawks have not have a good season this year. This is because you folks have not been cheering hard enough. I want you to to go out there and cheer as loud as you can. This will help the SeaHawks to win 3 to 4 games in this season. So, are you ready?"
A loud cheer burst from the bus. Someone shouted from the bus rear, "What if I am for New England ?" "Get off the bus!" shouted the rest of the passengers.
With that, the bus stopped and the whole crowd alighted and walked briskly to the stadium.
Boy, this surprise cheerleading by the bus driver sure lifted all our spirits up !

Apparently, the louder cheer may not be the only missing component... The football team Seahawks was winning till the last one minute, but lost with the overtime.

Hi... thanks for the comment on our blog.
I remembered we encountered something similar to this too, while we were in our first months in the area without our own transportation (no driving licences).
Cheers..
Hi Jonathan, thanks for visiting. :)
Well, after months of riding the public bus, something good did come out of it after all. Suddenly those extremely long and cold waiting for the bus to arrive doesn't seem to matter anymore.
