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.
