@nprofile1q... Dad used to walk up the street every morning to the bus stop.
He was the only one who got on at that time in the morning or at night.
Bus drivers got to the point they used to stop outside our house to pick him up, drop him off and occasionally wait, or get out of the bus and go to the back door and check if he was running late.
Latter as we went to uni, Tafe and got jobs, us kids got the same treatment.
Our house then became the unofficial bus stop in the street. Every one stood there, rather than the one up the road. If you were standing there, the bus drivers would stop.
It now has become an official stop with its own sign.
