Turns out, the recent event wasn’t an isolated incident — she has been doing it for the past 45 years whenever it rains.

When asked about her actions, 72-year-old Madam Hoe explained that she simply did not want her commuters to catch a cold as a result of the rain.

She added that it was merely part of her job scope,

This is part of my job to provide my commuters with a safe and pleasant ride.

SBS Transit also shared that they were extremely proud of Madam Hoe’s actions, which showed that age is no obstacle when it comes to providing good service.

Touched by bus captain’s commitment

We’re heartened by Madam Hoe’s commitment to her job, so much so that she often goes out of her way to ensure her passengers do not fall sick.

Let’s hope other bus captains, too, will be inspired to go the extra mile for passengers during harsh weather.
