The Neighborly Express

My gated community, Havenwood Creek, was kind of out in the middle of nowhere, a dead zone for ride-shares and taxis.

To solve the daily commuting nightmare, I bought a used shuttle bus and started the "Neighborhood Express."

The rules were simple: one, it ran on a fixed schedule during the morning and evening rush hours, taking everyone straight downtown. Two, it was completely free. I even covered the gas myself.

My neighbors were touched. They pitched in for a little "Community Hero" plaque for me, their gratitude overflowing.

But all that changed when Kevin moved in.
