Little enough to ride for free, little enough to ride your knee...

In Alaplı district of Zonguldak, a 2-year-old girl boarded a public bus 
while her family was at a phone shop (!). The driver, Gündüz Çimen, 
noticed the child on his way home. The moment was captured by the 
bus's security camera, and the driver took the child to her family.

The incident occurred yesterday at a public bus stop in Alaplı district. 
Gündüz Çimen, the driver of a public bus coming from Karadeniz 
Ereğli to Alaplı, got out of the vehicle to buy bread after pulling up 
to the stop. At that moment, a 2-year-old girl crawled onto the bus, 
which was parked with its door open, and sat in the back seat.

Gündüz bey had a great story for the evening dinner table.
















As the driver got back into the vehicle and started driving away, 
he heard a crying sound, looked back, and noticed the child. Çimen 
calmed the crying child and reported the situation to the authorities. 
Returning to the garage, Çimen took the child to the police. 

Through their investigation, it was determined that the child had left 
her family while they were at a phone shop. Çimen, along with the 
police, returned the child to her family.  The entire incident was 
recorded by the vehicle's security camera.
