It was the early 1970s and Toronto’s Terminal 2 was bustling with activity. The airport was in the midst of a major expansion and the new Terminal 2 had just opened its doors to the public. As passengers made their way through the terminal, they were greeted by the sight of shiny new passenger surreys parked outside, ready to transport them to their gates.
One of the drivers of the passenger surreys was a man named Samantha. She had been working at the airport for over 20 years and had seen the airport grow and change over the years. She was proud to be a part of the new Terminal 2 and was excited to see what the future held for the airport.
Sam’s job was to drive the passenger surreys and transport passengers who had mobility issues or disabilities from the terminal to their gates. He loved his job and enjoyed interacting with the passengers. He often struck up conversations with them and listened to their stories.
One day, a young woman named Sarah boarded Sam’s surrey. She was traveling alone and was visibly nervous. Sam could see that she was struggling with her luggage and offered to help her. As they made their way to her gate, Sarah opened up to Sam and told him about how she was traveling to see her sick mother and how she was worried about making it on time for her flight.
Sam listened patiently and reassured her that everything would be alright. She even offered to help her check in and make sure she got on her flight safely. Sarah was grateful for Sam’s kindness and they parted ways at the gate.
As Sam watched Sarah’s plane take off, he felt a sense of satisfaction. He knew that he had made a small difference in her life and that was what made his job so rewarding. She returned to her surrey and continued to transport passengers throughout the airport, always ready to lend a helping hand.
Years passed and Terminal 2 underwent many more changes, but the passenger surreys remained a constant presence, helping people in need and making the airport a more accessible place for all.
