This will make your week a little more bearable.

A picture is going viral on Reddit, shared by a user named u/Arkn0id with the caption, “My father has been taking the same bus to work and back for the last 5 years. Today, all the regular commuters gave a farewell to the bus conductor on his last working day.”

The image shows regular commuters clicking photos and giving gifts to the employee.

According to another user, the image is of NMMT or TMT buses in Mumbai. Another user pal0z said, “You make friends with your conductors very fast when you have a 1.5-hour one-way commute every day. They always have change for you, tell you about the next available seat if you don’t get your usual seat. Ask about you if you don’t turn up for a day or two. And they never ever fell ill. It’s a thankless job but they do it day in and day out. I freakin love that these commuters did this for their conductor. Much love.”

Soon this lovely gesture by commuters kickstarted a thread where other Reddit users shared their experiences. Check out some here:
