The 6 am to NYC
Jake splashed into the Port Authority Bus Terminal approximately forty-five minutes behind schedule. They had made better time than expected, considering the multi-car accident he had to work his way around, plus the reduced speed everyone was driving at. None of that mattered now. He had gotten his passengers there safely, and that was what it was all about. Jake opened the door and stood at the bottom of the stairwell, offering a hand to anyone needing assistance. Most of them thanked him for getting them there safely, and two of his regulars even gave him five-dollar tips for getting them there without incident.

6 A.M to NYC
Chapter 1 Jake’s run was the 6 am from Washington, DC, to New York City and the 1 pm return trip to DC. This had been his schedule ever since he gained enough seniority to hold the bid for the last five years. Seniority did have its privileges. Jake was an early bird. Waking up at four in the morning, leaving his house a little after five for the half-hour commute from Annapolis to the bus yard in Tuxedo, MD, was Jake’s idea of the perfect schedule. The early departure time let him avoid the rush hour traffic coming into DC. Jake and his passengers were leaving the U.S Capitol while commuters were on the way into town to begin their day. A little over four hours later, including stops in Baltimore, MD, and Wilmington, DE, Jake would be driving through the Lincoln Tunnel, unaffected by any lingering rush-hour congestion clogging the city streets. Jake’s trip back to DC was the same route minus the Wilmington stop. The two-hour-layover in New York gave him time for lunch and a short nap.
