Dan Boyns's bus used to be filled with people going shopping, heading out to see friends or visiting family, but now it's just key workers stepping onboard.
He takes NHS staff to hospital so they can save the lives of coronavirus patients, supermarket staff to stores so people can buy food, and teachers to schools so they can look after children.
He's also a key worker, and his decision to continue going out to work every day means hundreds of others can do the same.
When lockdown was introduced and Dan, who works for Arriva and is based at the Gillingham Depot, knew he wanted to carry on driving, but he admits he's terrified about bringing the virus back to his family.
Speaking to the Mirror Online as part of our Frontline Fighters series, he said: "I was happy to stay at work, working helps me provide for the family.
"I don’t feel like part of a big fight I just do the job I love.
"I don’t class myself as key worker, and I have never felt so appreciated nor realised how much the service I provide helps people.
"When customers get on and off buses the thank you is more heartfelt that before.
"I never considered quitting, I love my job."
While Dan says Arriva have done everything they can to keep drivers and have been very supportive, he is still worried about getting coronavirus and taking it home to his wife and five daughters.
He said: "The most difficult part for me is knowing I could potentially bring something home to my family. I feel safe when driving, Arriva have done a lot to help protect me.
"I don’t feel like I am at more risk, I still do the same job I love. Because I am still at work personally it does not feel like anything has changed."
Dan one some of his colleagues have taken to dressing up on their shifts to try and make passengers smile.
He said: "Myself and a friend are very close and Batman and Robin was the obvious one to do. I was hoping customers would be happy.
"I have had so many people say that I have made their day which is great."
However he hasn't noticed too much of a chance in people's attitudes when they get on the bus, saying: "People are happy to still be able to get to work.
"There are so many different workers, some are regulars others travel on odd occasions. There are hospital staff, police and emergency services, even solicitors."
