  3. Seems to be a lot of animosity towards Robert Medeiros from those that say they knew him (co-worker's). I question... is it jealousy...gossip of questions (doubts). Its just that I'm not convinced of the doubts raised based on their assessment....Wyatt

  4. Robert has been involved with buses since he was 12 years old. He has an amazing bus memorabilia collection. He also has tons of photo albums documenting his long career in the busing industry.
    The Herald News is like any other news outlet...they only have so much time time and space to cover a specific article. So, in regards to Robert's long bus career, they decided to focus on Greyhound. They left out Almeida, SRTA, Viking, Souza, etc. It will sell more papers and use less space to just say he was a Greyhound driver.
    The man lives and breathes buses. How should I know?!? Well, I'm his son. I am the one who contacted the Herald News while I was visiting my Father in Massachusetts in 2012.
    I talk to my Father once a week on the phone. He's usually out on a charter run somewhere in New England or New York. This is a msn who is 82 years old!
    By the way, my first word I said as a baby was, "bus".
