A WOMAN who had put more than 20,000 yuan (US$2,886) in a carton that she forgot on a bus reclaimed the money recently thanks to the fee collector on Bus M369.

The fee collector, identified as Fu Xiaoyun, found the carton while doing cleanup. She brought it back to the bus terminal and when she opened the carton in the presence of her supervisor and the bus driver, she found the money inside.
