Yeah. And there's a crowd-fund to help him out too. Just in appreciation for his dedication.

...snip...That ended Friday when a Michigan car dealership gifted him a car by surprise, a Ford Taurus.

"James, he pretty much started crying in the car and I was like, ‘James, you can't do that. You'll make me cry too,'" said David Fischer Jr with Suburban Ford of Sterling Heights.

The 21 miles a day on foot began 10 years ago when his old car broke down. Still, Robertson never missed a day of work.

The Taurus donation is on top of $311,000 given to Robertson through GoFundMe, a crowdsourcing site.

Wayne state student Evan Leedy started it.

The local news here had a story on him too. His daily trek, since the buses don't run most of the way. He starts at 8:00 a.m. and ends around midnight and sleeps and starts over again the next day. Some of the distance is on a bus route, but much isn't.

Good for Leedy too.
