A READING Buses driver has been commended with the star of the month award after giving much needed help to a customer.
Jim Meredith, a 59-year-old man from Tilehurst, was nominated after another road user witnessed him helping a customer with visual impairment across the road.
He had politely signalled a moped user to stop so that he could help get the customer to the pavement safely.
The moped user then put Mr Meredith forward for the award.
Caroline Anscombe, HR director for Reading Buses, said: “This nomination shows that it isn’t just about making a good impression on our customers, but also on other road users and that even the smallest act can leave a big impression.
“I am delighted that Jim has received our Star of the Month award for March.”
