“I was recently stranded in Bylas, AZ on my way to Safford, AZ for the annual New Year's weekend hot air Balloon Festival. I'm new to AZ and take public transportation to get around, so I took a Greyhound bus to Bylas and was told that Apache transit was running a shuttle bus to Safford, which turned out to not be running December 31st. The lady, and the young man, that were working in the store that day were so helpful to me! My phone went out of communication, as my phone carrier didn't seem to have any connections in the area! I wish I could remember the lady's name, she let me use her hotspot so I could attempt to schedule an Uber ride, which turned out to not have any drivers available! I was told that there were no taxi services in Bylas either! She even attempted to find someone to give me a ride, which was very kind of her. Anyway, I made it to Safford with the help of a kind lady, and her family, named Althea and spent my two nights in Safford. I was hoping to make it back to Bylas to thank the kind staff in whatever monetary way I could, where I was to catch my return Greyhound bus. Unfortunately I was stranded by the Apache transit shuttle bus again and ended up, after many hours of stress, cancelling my departure ticket from Bylas to Thatcher instead. I won't ever forget the kind people of Bylas!”
