An MBTA bus driver was commended Wednesday morning.
An MBTA bus driver who spotted a 2-year-old wandering the streets along and notified police received a key to the city of Medford and a commendation from its Police Chief Wednesday.
Donna D’Amelio spotted the child near Light Guard Drive as she was driving the 134 route on Riverside Avenue about 6 a.m. on Aug. 5. She stopped the bus, called police and waited with the child until they arrived.

The driver that saved that little girl who couldv'e got seriously hurt being by herself outside at those hrs is a very nice polite mbta employee. I've taken the 134 bus in the past & have had her as the driver & she is always so nice & helpful to all the riders, whether it's directions ect........she is a kind soul & the MBTA should honor her as well. If it wasn't for her this story couldv'e ended a lot different. I hope the parents of the child shows her some type of appreciation for saving their childs life.
