The true picture of a kind and "not so typical" conductor just blew by me one day. He is not a Filipino (I can tell), for this guy talks with a slang, he is that so kind that he even touched my heart (which is that hard especially to those of the bus conductors that I encounter everyday) but this dude, his really DIFFERENT.
Alfred Eckell - as his name which I saw when he is wearing his ID when I've gone on-board to the JAM Transit bus which dispatches at the Southwoods Interchange, Binan, Laguna.
When I tried to go on-board the bus, I noticed Alfred telling EACH and EVERY passenger "Good morning po" (a typical showcase of respect in the filipino practice) and when he tried to reach each and every change of the payment, he tends to say "Salamat po" (Thank you) in a slang way.
Theoretically, I sensed this guy is a half-pinoy/half-european. I even concluded that this dude, is not a typical conductor which all filipino commuters stumble upon everyday.
I admire sir Alfred Eckell. His job, which is not often a job for those half-foreigners (If I believed that he's grown up here in the Philippines) and he is, for I think, is the one who really make the job of being a bus conductor a lot more meaningful, and how it is done in the modest way.
I salute you sir, you made yourself a very distinct person.
This is to inform each and every bus conductors of the different bus transportation industry.
