Netizens Call Out Woman Who Yelled At Bus Captain In Punggol
Bus captains spend long hours on the road, ensuring that we arrive at our destinations punctually and safely.
Despite their hard work, they encounter demanding commuters who do not treat them with the respect they deserve from time to time.
On Monday (14 Mar), a lady shared a Facebook video of a woman yelling at a female bus captain after being told to wait before boarding.
She could be heard shouting at the bus captain, “You’re just a bus driver” in Chinese, and she didn’t need to listen to her.
The video later went viral, garnering over 1,000 shares. Netizens were quick to defend the bus captain and condemn the woman’s actions.
Woman tells her she’s just a bus driver
According to the woman’s post to the Singapore Incidents Facebook group, the incident occurred at 322 Sumang Walk in Punggol.

The bus captain told the helper to wait for an elderly passenger in a wheelchair to alight before boarding the bus with a pram.
However, the helper had trouble understanding her instructions. A woman, presumably her employer, soon grew unhappy and began yelling at the bus captain.
In the video of the incident, the bus captain could be seen helping another commuter push the elderly on a wheelchair down the ramp.

The elderly person also made an apologetic hand gesture towards the woman.
At this moment, the woman shouted at the bus captain in a mix of English and Mandarin, saying, “You are a bus driver. I don’t need to listen to you”.

Everyone deserves respect
Bus captains are an essential part of our community. Every day, they work tirelessly to bring us to our destinations swiftly and safely.
We hope that people will be grateful and respectful to them as they do their jobs.
Furthermore, an individual’s value is not defined by their job, and everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect.
