Is this London's happiest bus driver? - BBC London
A former homeless man who spent years sleeping rough has been voted London's happiest bus driver. Patrick Lawson, originally from Hackney, became homeless after spending time in jail and he used to sell the Big Issue. He was chosen by passengers who nominated him through the "Hello London" award.

Good for him, he bettered his life. Shame we there aren’t more people like him
I just got off the bus this gentleman was driving - what a wonderful man - respect.
Patrick is a fantastic role model and has such a wealth of experience, that gives hope to others going through challenging times in their lives. A true inspiration

Magnificent accomplishment MAN, someone to inspire us.
Took less than 5 seconds to hear his voice and instantly convinced me he’s the good guy he is
He's taken me to work many times. Awesome dude.
Very inspiring story, he seems genuinely grateful for a second chance at life.
A man who lives everyday like its the last 👍. Joy to watch and get a sense of how his story has changed.
This is brilliant it shows if you wanna do something you can do it such a humble bus driver
Bless Patrick man he is such a kind and down to earth guy
Lovely heart for himself and others. Thank you BBC! I *love* stories like this one.
Well done Patrick. I hope I ride yr Bus Route one day.

I just got on his bus, he's a very positive person - it's good need more drivers like him
Inspirational guy, your positivity and love for people is truly a breath of fresh air. Definatly makes me want to be more patient and caring to people and take the time to spread some kindness into their day xxx
He should try doing routes 279, 29, or 25 and see if he’s still happy. Other than that it’s honestly warm and nice to have a happy driver, can make your day.
I salute sir ... people who turn their life around from all this deserve our respect.
Great story, top bloke. Good on him and good luck to him. 🙏🏻
When the bus driver thanks you
Need more drivers like him!
Well done from a fellow Bus Driver, Yes it is great to be happy on this job.
Good on ya Patrick 🤜🤛
Great to see a bus driver so passionate about his job and happy, most drivers are miserable and don't bother to say hello.
I'm soo proud for you mate! You have been on an incredible journey and respect to you for letting everyone know about it! Keep it moving and keep London moving!
Good on ya mate you changed your life and spreading happy everywhere on the buses hope your still driving in 2022 😊👍🕺

Salaries are higher in London but thats due to cost of living but I think alot of people like the job because they like buses.
Could be something wrong with his brain, could easily have a parasite that is causing him to be happy under any circumstances. London traffic is not the best.
