Ms Mohan thought she was going to miss the bus when she suddenly heard the vehicle’s horn — the kind captain way of telling her that there was no need to rush.

Later on, when an elderly couple got on board, the bus captain apparently waited for them to be seated before driving off.

However, when informed by the couple who’s getting off soon that they didn’t need a seat, he said, “I’ll drive slowly you both hold carefully ok”.

As sweet as the captain’s thoughtfulness already is, that’s not all yet.

As such, she is deeply moved by the kind captain and thinks that he exemplifies a great service ambassador.

She also hopes that SMRT can convey her compliments to the bus captain for making his passengers’ day.

Kudos to the friendly & thoughtful captain

Kind gestures like his are especially important during the uncertain times we’re in, lifting everyone’s spirits so we stand a better chance of bringing the virus under control.
