My bus driver protected me from a creep

I'm in college and take the bus to class. Earlier today, I was on my way home when this guy shady guy got on and took the seat right next to me, boxing me up against the window. (there were tons of open seats by the way. It's not like the bus was very crowded.)

We rode in silence for a couple minutes but eventually he started trying to make conversation. I was listening to music and clearly wasn't very interested in chatting, but that didn't stop him. He asked my name and where I go to school for, but then he started asking more personal questions like if my phone number or if I live in the neighborhood.

I kept dodging his questions but since he had the aisle seat, I couldn't exactly get up and move. Fortunately, the bus driver who we will call Dave (not his real name) must have noticed how uncomfortable I was because he spoke up and told the guy to find a different seat.

The guy told the Dave that he knew me and then kept asking me increasingly weird questions. As soon as Dave reached a stop, he stopped the bus, turned back, and told the guy to get off the bus.

The guy tried to argue, but Dave wasn't having it. He said "get the fuck off my bus or I'm calling the police." The guy eventually relented and got off.

Once we reached my stop, I told Dave thank you. He was super nice and said he has a daughter around my age, then he told me to stay safe.

Not a super interesting story, but I just wanted to share. It felt super nice to have someone stand up for me like that, even if the situation itself was really uncomfortable. I guess there are good people out there :)
