Ranjit Singh works for National Express in West Bromwich. Ranjit loves his job and recently he made a video to show friends and family living in India what he does and who he works with. The video has been viewed thousands of time and is being praised by other bus drivers. You can watch the video in the link above.
Ranjit says, "I have worked at National Express for 13 years and take great pride in what I do. There's a real team spirit and I wanted to do something that celebrated the many different communities that we have at our West Bromwich depo and how we all work together as one team."
Manager David Bradford says, "Our staff really are our greatest assets."
In the song, Ranjit sings in Punjabi and there are English subtitles. Watch the video and ask the children which lines are about No Outsiders:
"From different countries brothers drive buses together,"
"Sisters also drive buses from different cultures and nations from all over the world."
"All the different countries and nations drive together as friends."
"Working in the offices as brothers, we sit together in the canteen as brothers."
"If any drivers need moral support we give it to each other."
"Other cultures greet us"
