To get to and leave from work, Hubbard had memorized routes, schedules, and locations. Things became tough for him when construction was being done at his stop, and it was blocking off the usual path Hubbard takes to cross the street.

Luckily, Turner was there to help him. As soon as Hubbard stood up to leave the bus, Turner turned off the vehicle and got up from the driver seat.

Another driver, this time for the UPS, did a good deed for a woman and saved her life, including her child’s life, after he saw the secret message on the package she handed him at her doorstep.
