Meet Reggie Wilson, bus driver. Driving in traffic for 8+ hours a day is difficult. Dealing with an often difficult public is doubly difficult. But Reggie approaches his job with a different attitude. Rather than letting the job wear him down, Reggie makes a choice. Everyday, he chooses a positive attitude. Even on days when he doesn't feel like being positive, he treats his riders like they are guests on his bus. Guess what? They keep coming back. And the positivity comes back to him, too.

Some riders pass up other buses and wait for his ride! How's that for loyalty? So, why does Reggie make the effort to deliver excellent customer service? Watch the SMILE! video (full preview).
