The Ballad of the Singing Shuttle Bus Driver

Ellen Trevathan finds her own brand of salvation driving people to and from the city economy lot at the airport

Ellen thinks her singing is a special kind of ministry.

Ellen thinks her singing is a special kind of ministry.

"See?" she says. "It makes a difference!" She goes on about how her job is a ministry. How people just need something to cling to once in a while. Salvation can be as simple as a word, really. Or maybe a song.

Ellen radios the dispatcher and starts pulling the bus out of the lot. Sometimes she sees hundreds of people a day on that shuttle, and they won't all remember her. Maybe some don't even care if she sings or not. But most do, so it's all right. Besides, planes are always landing at the airport, and Ellen Trevathan drives all night.
