The scorching sun is scorching, the scorching sun is like fire, and the hot weather for many days is "baking" every worker who sticks to his ordinary post. As the escort of the people's travel, the bus driver shuttles through the streets and alleys of the city every day, facing the high temperature and fighting the scorching heat, and reflects the most beautiful figure in summer with sweat in the ten-meter carriage.
In this hot season, bus drivers resist the heat with enthusiasm, "steam" the high temperature with practical actions, face the "baking" test, stick to it with their intentions, adhere to it with their beliefs, and make every effort to provide a solid guarantee for the safe, convenient and comfortable travel of passengers.
Bus drivers should be familiar to everyone, and for most city dwellers, they come into contact almost every day when they commute to work. But do you really understand the working status of a bus driver?
"The sleepy stars can't stop my trip", this lyric is a true portrayal of the bus driver. Whether it's cold, heat, darkness or dawn, bus drivers have to pick up and drop off people to and from work, travel or errands.
The beginning of the day
On July 29, the highest temperature was 36 degrees, the lowest was 28 degrees, at 4:50 in the morning, when most people were still asleep, Wang Darui, the driver of the 101 bus of Sihong County Jinluqiao Passenger Transport Co., Ltd., had come to the parking lot of the first and last stations of the building. As the driver of the first bus of No. 101, in order to ensure that the bus is in good condition in the summer heat, he will always arrive at his post in advance to make preparations before departure, check whether the body and windows are scratched and damaged, and check whether the light steering, tires and other components remain normal. Wang Darui carried out one item in an orderly manner, and after the inspection, he started the day's work with a smile.
"Before the driver takes up his post, he must conduct a pre-job physical examination in front of the intelligent machine, mainly for whether the driver drinks alcohol to ensure the driver's safe driving. At the same time, the team will remind the driver in advance every day according to the weather and temperature of the day, such as thunderstorms and high temperatures in summer, and they will be given safety education before the driver takes up his post to ensure driving safety. Liu Li, the person in charge of the first and last stations of the building, said.
After the summer, the "cool service" of Sihong Jinluqiao Passenger Transport Co., Ltd. has been continuously upgraded. In particular, the emergency medicine box in the carriage has added heatstroke prevention and health care products such as Huoxiang Zhengqi, wind oil essence, and cooling oil, so that once a passenger suffers from heat stroke, emergency treatment can be carried out at any time. In the carriage of the No. 101 bus, you can see the small details of summer service everywhere, "Master Wang drives safely, treats passengers with a good attitude, I often sit in Master Wang's car, he often helps passengers with luggage, support passengers with reduced mobility, these 'cool' small details, let us feel the heat from the heart, feel particularly warm." Zhang Jun, a passenger who often takes the No. 101 bus, said.
Hurried lunch
Wang Darui, a 47-year-old driver who has been driving buses for 23 years, told me that bus No. 101 runs between the first and last stations of the building and the east bus station, and it takes 50 minutes to run a single trip. The author noticed that after just a few stops, Wang Darui's clothes were already soaked with sweat. Since the driver's position is often exposed to direct sunlight, the temperature near the driver's seat is much warmer than the cabin temperature. Following Wang Darui's Su N02180D bus in the city after two round-trips, it was noon, when arriving at the first and last station of the building, it was already 12:06, after the passengers got off, Master Wang cleaned the inside and outside of the car, and took advantage of a short break to grab lunch. City buses have a set departure time, and the most important thing for citizens to take the bus is to get on the bus as soon as they arrive at the stop, so the meal time can only be taken by everyone, so that passengers will not wait too long. A lunch, from the first driver's turn to the last driver, takes nearly two hours, in rush hour or traffic jams, the driver does not even have the effort to drink saliva, and only this lunch time, everyone can take a short break.
He who loves cleanliness
Wang Darui is well-known in the company for his love of cleanliness, whether it is before the departure or after the end of the shift, and whether it is cold and hot or rainy and snowy weather, he always cleans the vehicle. Many drivers in the company love to say that "the vehicle is the driver's second home", but Wang Darui is one of the few who has cleaned up the "second home" so clean and tidy for several years. After the vehicle arrives at the terminal, Wang Darui always checks the condition of the vehicle for the first time, cleans the vehicle, and the busyness under the scorching sun makes him a lot darker, but he often says, "The bus is a window to show a civilized image of the city, we as a bus driver, we should do a good job, serve the passengers well, clean and tidy inside and outside the car, comfortable riding environment, not only the passengers are comfortable, but also comfortable to drive."
When it's hottest, driving a vehicle is a big test. Sitting in the cab for a long time, the sun makes the skin itch, and it is difficult to really enjoy the coolness of the air conditioning in the car when the door is opened and closed frequently.
Perfect call-up
As the sky gradually darkened, and the pedestrians on the road were not as dense as during the day, the buses that had been tired for a long day drove into the parking lot one after another, charging the next day's vehicle operation, and parked in the specified position.
After the vehicle stopped, the drivers began to work again, sweeping, mopping, wiping the seats, and after a few efforts, the car was completely new. Drivers said that children are always indispensable to eat some snacks, especially melon seed shells, which are the most difficult to sweep when they fall on the ground. Some passengers did not drink their drinks well and accidentally fell to the ground. There are also passengers who stick their chewing gum to their seats, which is the most headache. In summer, it is also the vigorous period of bacterial breeding, which can be cleaned up in time, and the sanitation is done, so that passengers can rest assured that they can ride and drive comfortably.
After following the car for a day, the author was already hungry, and his eyelids kept drooping, and the driver had not eaten dinner yet, and still insisted on tidying up the vehicle.
At the end of the day's work, it was already 8:05 p.m., and the faithful "little donkey" carried Wang Darui and slowly disappeared into the night......
