May’s Operator of the Month is Endale Begosew from Boulder Division! Begosew was chosen for his quick action to prevent a tense situation between customers from escalating further and ensuring everyone on board remained safe.

Rad Things (to) Do - May 2026
May is such a wonderful month. Not only is spring in full swing, but it is also home to two of the greatest holidays of the year: May the Fourth, and Revenge of the Fifth.
