Bus driver treats passengers to lemonade at child's stand

BOSTON -- Four kids at a lemonade stand, who set up shop in front of a bus station, were thrilled when a bus driver pulled over and treated each of his passengers to a cup, CBS station WBZ reports.

Bus Driver John Lohan was mid-route on Centre Street in West Roxbury, Massachusetts when he decided to pull over.

"I said if anyone is in a hurry or needs to make a connection, I won't stop," Lohan told WBZ.

After all seven passengers agreed they could spare a few minutes, Lohan stopped at a lemonade stand. He was greeted by four excited kids.

"The biggest thing I thought was that the children would have a story they can tell for the rest of their lives. And then afterwards, I thought, 'Well, so do the passengers,'" said Lohan.

The 19-year veteran driver ordered a round for everyone.

"The lemonade only cost 50 cents and he bought seven of them. He gave us 10 dollars, so, he's awesome!" said 14-year-old Erin Starkey.

"I was surprised because usually none of them stop," said 11-year-old Shannon McGovern.

"I gave them a little bit of a tip also, but still, it was the cheapest round, the least expensive round, I ever sprung for," Lohan told WBZ, laughing.

Lohan continued on his regular bus route, not thinking much of what he had done.

"My passengers, as they got off the bus, each one of them said, 'That made my day and thank you,'" said Lohan.

The humble MBTA bus driver said his small act is just an example of what many of his 2,000 colleagues do on a daily basis.
