We asked him what his favourite part about spending time with the kids during their school rides. He shared:

"It's the way they light up with excitement, especially when they get into the taxi. They're always full of energy, and every little moment with them feels special, like when they share stories or dance to their favourite songs.

When asked how kids react when hearing a song they love during the ride, he said:

"Oh, they can't resist. They instantly start dancing, laughing, and singing along. Their faces light up, and it's the purest form of happiness. It's like they forget about everything else and just enjoy the moment."
