Students at the University of Florida in Gainesville held a Bus Driver Appreciation Day recently, honouring the RTS drivers who transport them to and from campus each day.
On the day, students had the opportunity to write notes for their favourite drivers to thank them for their continued hard work, local TV channel WCJB20 reported.

The day was organised by the Hispanic Student Association after members began to feel that drivers were getting overlooked and weren’t recognised enough for the work they do.
The inaugural event took place in 2019, but for this year’s event the association joined forces with the Asian American Student Organisation and Islam on Campus to grow the event further.
Stephanie Beltran, Vice President of the university’s Hispanic Student Association, told the station: “I think it’s a very fun event, just seeing the bus drivers and making them happy is something good and something that we should take into consideration every day in thanking our bus drivers.”
