February is Love the Bus Month, a nationwide campaign designed to highlight the important role that buses and bus drivers play in our communities. As part of this campaign, people across the country take to social media to share their appreciation for the hard-working men and women who keep our buses running smoothly every day. Let's check out some of the heartwarming and inspiring social media posts celebrating Love the Bus Month.
