BST Driver Kindly Helping Blind Passengers In Solo, Mr. Gibran 'Gives Respect': This Is Our Duty As Humans

JAKARTA - The heroic action of the Batik Solo Trans (BST) bus driver who helped lower the visually impaired passengers received attention from the Mayor of Solo, Gibran Rakabuming Raka.

Gibran 'hates off' for the hospitality and kindness shown by the driver, Wahyu Setyanto.

"I give my greatest appreciation to the BST (Batik Solo Trans) Driver Mr. Wahyu Setyanto who has helped lower blind passengers. He seemed so friendly and patient to help blind passengers get down to the bus stop," said Gibran via a tweet on his Twitter account, @gibran_tweet launched Monday, November 1st.

The kindness shown by Wahyu was recorded by uploading a video on the Instagram account @dishubsurakarta, last Saturday, October 30. At that time, the bus was seen stopping at a bus stop because there were passengers who got off.

Seeing the blind passenger, Wahyu immediately rushed from his driver's seat. Slowly, he helped passengers get off the bus. Wahyu seemed friendly in guiding passengers, even to the bus stop.

"Exemplary can come from anyone, not only obligations as officers, but actions like this are our collective duty as fellow human beings. Thank you @dishubsurakarta for optimizing the realization of the best passenger service," said Gibran.
