LONDON -- Some people are just plain nice.
William Harris, a driver for Bus Éireann in Cork, Ireland, clearly fits that bill -- the story of how he went above and beyond to help an older passenger who was struggling after getting off his bus is being shared like crazy on Facebook since it was posted on Wednesday.

The driver's act of kindness was spotted by Clara O'Brien, another passenger who shared the story on the bus company's timeline.
"I want to commend one of your bus drivers," she wrote. "I haven't seen someone do somethign so kind in as long as I can remember and the lady was so appreciate she blew a kiss as the bus was pulling away."
Here's O'Brien's story in full.
Hi! I want to commend one of your bus drivers who was driving the 205 service from CIT to Kent Station at 15:40. 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 realised 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. 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. Your driver made my day
It wasn't long before the driver's family spotted it.
People were quick to praise Harris.
Eventually, others started chipping in with more stories of kind bus drivers.
Sounds like Ireland is the place to go for awesome bus drivers.
