You may have noticed that in true trade journalism style, we, ahem, don’t always publicise other award ceremonies. However, we had to mention this from the recent London Bus Awards 2017.
Award for actions above and beyond the call of duty – Ewulo Gbobaniyi, Tower Transit (Lea Interchange)
On the night of 24 October last year, Ewulo bravely put himself between a disabled passenger and five people who were attacking him. Ewulo was driving a route W15 in Higham Hill when he saw the group tease and spit on the passenger.
Ewulo stepped in to protect the passenger while he sought police assistance. Because of Ewulo’s careful delay tactics and management of the situation, the police arrived in time to detain the offenders.
Ewulo then invited the passenger back on board the empty bus, and safely drove him back to only a short walk away from his home. The passenger has since expressed his sincere gratitude for Ewulo’s help and continues to use the W15 bus.
