Popular bus driver known for blowing bubbles named ‘Ambassador of Joy’ by Aldi

Aldi has named London bus driver Ricki Reid as ‘Ambassador of Joy’ of the retailer’s Finsbury Park branch, after he was asked to stop blowing bubbles on his bus route.
Reid was well known for blowing bubbles on his route between Finsbury Park and Whitechapel and was particularly popular with younger passengers, who reportedly named his service “the bubble bus”.
He visited the store on 20 August 2026, greeting customers as they arrived. Related StoryPopular bus drive
