Reflecting on his remarkable journey, Farah shared a heartfelt message on LinkedIn, recounting his last day as a bus driver at Victoria Station. Over the PA system, he made a special announcement:

“After 15 years, today is my last day as a London bus driver. It has been a pleasure transporting you across the city. Thank you all for being part of my journey.” To his surprise, the bus erupted in cheers, and as passengers disembarked one final time, many wished him good luck.
