RIPTA Hero
RIPTA Operator Eldora “Ellie” Giblin this week received a formal commendation by the board for stopping her bus and coming to the aid of man who seemed ready to jump off the Henderson Bridge.
Giblin, a RIPTA driver for nine years, was driving Route 33 toward East Providence on April 3, when she stopped en route to talk to a man who had one leg over the railing of the bridge.
Giblin said she was nervous but knew she had to take action because even though other cars had pulled over, no one was talking to the man. “People just had their phones out and were taking pictures or video It broke my heart,” she said.
