LISTEN: A small act of kindness by a bus driver made him a viral hero

A man being hailed as Cork’s nicest bus driver has been identified, and he is completely bemused by the reaction to his small act of kindness towards an elderly lady.

William Harris, from Cork, was driving the 205 bus from CIT into Cork City centre on Wednesday when he stopped the bus to tie the shoe of an elderly woman.

The woman was in danger of tripping, having already stumbled while alighting from his bus, but due to arthritis she couldn’t bend down to tie her lace.
