He's been told to stop blowing bubbles 🫧💔
Bus driver Ricki Reid has become a local legend on the 106 route between Finsbury Park and Whitechapel, with children reportedly calling his bus the 'bubble bus' after he began blowing bubbles from his cab.
But operator Go-Ahead London has now asked Ricki to stop using his bubble gun, citing unspecified safety considerations.
A spokesperson said: “Ricki has stopped blowing bubbles following some safety considerations, so he isn't available for interview on this topic at the moment.”
The company said Ricki remains a valued member of its team, while explaining that he had been asked to put away the bubble gun to prioritise getting passengers where they need to be.
Ricki previously explained why the simple gesture meant so much to him, saying: “A simple thing like a bubble, it makes someone smile.”
