SBS Captain Supports Elderly Man With Injured Leg Who Was Limping Slowly Towards Bus

As the presidential election draws close, Singaporeans have probably heard their fair share of the hopefuls’ desires to build a kinder and more inclusive society.

An SBS Transit bus captain’s recent actions show that all of us can contribute to the cause through our own little actions.

Seeing that an elderly man with an injured leg was trying to board the bus he was driving, the bus captain literally lifted the man on board and supported him all the way to a seat.

Later as the bus arrived at the commuter’s destination, the bus captain once against supported him as he alighted. He even helped the passenger to a seat at the bus stop.
