Portrait Of A Bus Driver

"By 3:20 each morning Larry Taylor is up, washed, dressed and headed for his job driving a city bus in parts of Washington that tourists seldom see. In the course of the day, he may have to deal with obstreperous drunks, the unbathed homeless and hard-to-control youth.

He loves his work.

Husky, with a trim, graying beard, he has spent more than half his life at the wheel of a red, white and blue bus run by Metro, the Washington area transit company."
