When Canberra bus drivers called a snap strike, Nick gave strangers a lift in his Mustang. Mr Proud said he pulled over to inform the people at the bus stop that no bus would be arriving. "I told three people who were quite shocked, and one had a bit of an emergency medical [appointment] that she had to get to in Tuggeranong, so [I said], 'Jump in. I don't have a meeting until 10,'" Mr Proud said. He ended up driving a carload of people to their destinations.
