A bus driver on Crete has become an overnight sensation on TikTok after a video revealed his unique and meticulous method for keeping his vehicle clean. The driver, who transports tourists from the popular Elafonissi Beach on Greece’s largest island, has captured the hearts of millions by dusting and washing off his passengers before they are allowed to board.
The video, filmed by a surprised tourist, shows the driver equipped with a small broom and a hose. One by one, he carefully tends to each passenger. He uses the broom to dust off loose sand and a hose to then thoroughly wash any sand off their feet. His final step is to use an air blower to remove any remaining sand from their belongings and any leftover patches on their skin.
