SEPTA Bus Operator Dominic Rose says he did this on his own time. He says this act of kindness is his gift to the city.

"With COVID going on, a lot of us are depressed, from the operators to the passengers. So just to bring back smiles on people's faces when I ride by them, and just cheerful talking to them, and this is something that I wanted to do just give back to the community," Rose said.

Rose said it took him three days to decorate the bus.
