Bus captain piggybacks frail uncle while off-duty
While waiting for bus 132 at Hougang Central Bus Interchange, Senior Bus Captain Jiang Hong was approached by an elderly uncle.
According to SBS Transit, the uncle had asked for help to board the bus.
As Mr Jiang noticed how frail the uncle who was struggling to walk was, he decided to piggyback the elderly man, with the assistance of another bus captain.

Though the bus stopped at his stop, Mr Jiang allegedly gave it a miss so he could accompany the uncle to his destination.
When they arrived, Mr Jiang helped the elderly man alight the bus safely.
His gesture, while seemingly small, surely brightened the uncle’s day.
Lauded for display of kindness even off work
In concluding the post, SBS Transit noted Mr Jiang’s immense kindness, helping a passenger sincerely even when he wasn’t working:
Although Jiang Hong was not on duty then, this did not stop him from showing kindness and going the extra mile to help someone in need. He had acted as the uncle’s sunshine when his sky was grey.
They commended him for demonstrating the company’s values even in his personal capacity.
Kudos truly go to Mr Jiang for being such a compassionate individual. Hopefully, his act of kindness will inspire many others to help those in need too.
