A young girl's impressive roller skating skills have gained her viral fame after a video of her racing a London bus was viewed over a million times. The video, which was captured by a passenger on the bus driving through Camden, London, shows the girl keeping up with the bus as it makes its way to a stop. As the doors open, she jokingly calls out to the driver to lower the prices for public transportation, much to the amusement of the passengers.
The skater and the bus driver then agree to a race, which she surprisingly wins to the delight of the person filming the video. The footage quickly spread on both Instagram and X, garnering thousands of likes and millions of views. Viewers have dubbed the girl a "neighbourhood hero" for her impressive skating skills and humorous interaction with the bus driver.
Many social media users have expressed their admiration for the young skater. One Instagram user commented, "This girl is a whole vibe. Love! Tfl drop your prices." Another added, "It's like running into the neighbourhood superhero." The video has caught the attention of Metro, who is eager to speak to the girl and give her a well-deserved mention.

The ability to brighten someone's day is a superpower, according to one Twitter user who commented, "The ability to make random people's day is the best power ever! Love this." In other London news, delays with the Elizabeth line have been extended and trains are cancelled at Liverpool Street station. There is also talk of a new Tube line in South East London, while an iconic London market is set to close after nearly 800 years.
Mayor Sadiq Khan has frozen Transport for London fares for five of the last eight years, but this may change in the future. The Government's announcement of the budget has hinted that the amount of investment for public transportation will depend on whether Khan decides to freeze fares again. As of now, a single journey on a London bus costs £1.75 for adults and only 85p for those under 18. Let's hope the young skater's plea for lower prices is heard.
