On stage, Regan J Farquhar wears a plain pink shirt with white block lettering that says, “Sorry, the underground happened 10 years ago.” In between songs, he sways gently from the stage rafters with his eyes closed and his head back in the midst of an impromptu freestyle.

But yesterday, the driver waited for me to hop on for about twenty seconds while the light was green at 10th and Walnut. He repeated this same act of kindness for several people at the 20th and Walnut stop. Patiently, he waited while they got off a bus on 20th and negotiated the oncoming traffic. You could see the ripple effect of this simple act of kindness - a mere several seconds delay - as each person continued to voice their thanks (most seemed to be on their way to work) long after sitting down. What a difference from the other day when the conductor of the R1 train blocked me from entering, telling me that the train leaves at 4:25 on the dot, before the train went into motion.
