Kind Cork bus driver restores a little bit of faith in humanity

A Cork bus driver has become an internet sensation after restoring a little bit of faith in humanity.

The driver on the 205 service from CIT to Kent Station was pictured helping an elderly woman yesterday - and the photo has since gone viral.

It's understood the elderly woman nearly tripped getting off the bus as her shoe lace was untied.

The driver stalled the bus to inform her but upon realising she wasn't steady enough on her feet to fix the laces, he pulled the bus over and got out to tie her shoe lace for her.

The picture has been shared and viewed thousands of times with people branding the man 'Cork's nicest bus driver'.
