A bus driver in 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 Elafonisi beach, has captured the hearts of millions by dusting and washing his passengers before they can 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, then a hose to thoroughly wash their sandy feet. In a final touch, he uses an air blower to ensure all sand is removed from both their belongings and any remaining spots on their skin.
