A London bus driver is making a splash on the city's roads with his unconventional approach to spreading joy - literally. Ricki Reid, 42, has been blowing bubbles from his bus as a way to lift commuters' moods and create a sense of whimsy in the daily commute.
What started as a personal coping mechanism for Reid after losing his father to cancer has evolved into a beloved ritual that's won over passengers and onlookers alike. Dubbed 'Mr Bubble Man', Reid's simple yet effective gesture has become an integral part of the city's transportation scene, with many now eagerly anticipating their daily bubble-filled ride.
Reid's decision to blow bubbles from his bus was initially met with curiosity rather than criticism. As word of his unique approach spread, social media platforms were flooded with images and videos of Reid at work, earning him widespread recognition and admiration. Now a regular fixture on London's streets, Reid's 'bubbles' have become a beacon of positivity in the often hectic urban landscape.
While some may see it as an unusual diversion from traditional bus driving duties, Reid insists that his bubble-blowing act has a profound impact on those who witness it. "It's amazing how something so simple can brighten someone's day," he said in an interview. For Reid, blowing bubbles is more than just a hobby - it's a way to connect with others and bring a little bit of magic into the world.
Reid's bubble-filled bus has become an unlikely social media sensation, with many users sharing their own experiences of encountering 'Mr Bubble Man' on the streets of London. As Reid continues to spread joy one bubble at a time, it remains to be seen whether his unconventional approach will inspire other drivers to follow suit - but for now, he's content in the knowledge that he's making a difference, one smile at a time.

! He's just taking things and having fun with 'em, you know? Like, who wouldn't want to blow bubbles on their daily commute? 
It's such a simple way to put a smile on people's faces, and it's awesome that he's making the most of it. I mean, he was going through some tough times after losing his dad, but now he's found a way to spread joy and connect with others - that's really inspiring 
. And can you imagine if everyone just took a page from Mr Bubble Man's book? 
London would be such a happier place 
!
he blows bubbles from his bus in london like who does that? 
someone pls tell me where i can get some of those bubbles for my car lol 
it was so cool! It really lifted my mood for the day, you know? I was stressed about something and then suddenly there were these big ol' bubbles floating in the air and I just felt this sense of joy 
! Can't wait to see what Mr Bubble Man comes up with next 
!
. love how he said something so simple can brighten someone's day 
. It's so cool how something that started as him dealing with a tough time (losing his dad) has turned into this amazing thing for everyone else. He's not just driving people around, he's spreading happiness all over the city 
. Plus, who wouldn't want to see bubbles on their bus ride? It's just the best!
It's not like you're paying £2.90 to get to work or anything, but seriously, it's actually kinda nice to see someone trying to brighten up the daily grind. I guess when life gives you lemons, make lemonade... or in this case, blow bubbles on the bus 
. Stranger things have happened, right?
i'm not surprised he's got a social media following now - who wouldn't want to be 'mr bubble man'? 
and if it makes him happy too, then that's just extra bonus 
. I mean, I guess it's cute and all, but let's be real, Ricki Reid isn't exactly breaking news here 
. And honestly, can we talk about how much of a coincidence that this whole bubble thing just happens to start after he lost his dad to cancer? That's some major symbolism going on right there 
. and can we talk about how genuine he is? he's not just doing it for claps, but genuinely wants to spread joy and connect with people 
, so if blowing bubbles from a bus is what gets you through the day, then more power to him 
!
and it's so heartwarming to see people's reactions on social media 
. It's amazing how something so simple can bring people together and make their day brighter 
. As for the rest of us, let's just enjoy the ride and soak up those bubbles
