Bus Driver In Ireland Goes Above And Beyond For Elderly Passenger

A bus driver in Ireland is being commended after a commuter captured his kindhearted deed for an elderly passenger.

Clara O'Brien snapped a photo showing the driver — identified by the Irish Independent as William Harris — tying the shoe of an elderly passenger during his shift. She shared it on the Facebook page of Bus Éireann (a bus and coach operator in Ireland) to praise the driver on his deed, reminiscent of the cop who did the same for a boy in Colorado.

"As an elderly lady was getting off the bus she almost tripped. Once she was off, the driver noticed that her lace was undone and he stalled the bus to tell her. When she said that she knew, he [realized] that she wasn't steady enough on her feet to bend down and tie it herself, so he got off the bus and tied it for her. He was so kind to her and went out of his way to look after a customer," O'Brien wrote. "I haven't seen someone do something so kind in as long as I can remember and the lady was so appreciative she blew a kiss as the bus was pulling away."

The company quickly responded to the heartwarming photo: "Thank you Clara for sharing this inspiring moment with us. And thank you to Willie for taking the time to help this sweet lady. It’s a great example for us all."
