She wrote, "It was midnight, my phone was dead. I didn't have any cash or cards on me. I got on the wrong bus which brought me to the opposite side of the city. I was lost and stressed, but the bus driver was kind enough to help me. He offered me a ride and drove me back to my destination. Got his number and zelled him a few bucks to show appreciation, but he refused to take it. @NJTRANSIT You got a gentleman named Noel, he is gonna retire soon. Make sure you appreciate his service and grace."
In a follow-up tweet, she wrote, "He decided to be kind and help me right after a bunch of passengers cussed him out literally for no reason. The people who work in the public services industry deserve respect and appreciation. We can simply say a "Thank You" after our ride."
The post soon went viral and melted hearts online. A user wrote, "There are always people who are eager to extend their helping hands."
Another user wrote, "He has grown up as a real man and this world need many like him."
"This is called a perfect example of kindness. Wish him long life," the third user wrote.
