Laid-off drivers hired for new Disneyland lot

A very encouraging story for all those Americans out of work from the OC Register:

At least 15 laid-off bus drivers are going back behind the wheel of the public vehicles that they used to run.

But in their new jobs, they will shuttle visitors to and from Disney theme parks — all paid by Disney.

For its new parking lot that opens Friday, Disney arranged to hire some laid-off drivers and lease public buses that were out-of service because of budget cuts by the Orange County Transportation Authority.

George Kalogridis, the Disneyland Resort president, got the idea after reading about cutbacks at the transportation agency. He knew that Disney was about to contract for shuttles for the upcoming lot on Harbor Boulevard, so he asked his staff to look into using OCTA’s buses and possibly their out-of-work drivers.
