Go-Ahead bus captain finds & returns purse containing S$1,200 in cash

On the evening of August 12, a Go-Ahead bus captain named Er Soon Beng found a purse containing S$1,200 in cash on one of his buses, service 72. The red purse also held the commuter's identification card and bank cards. Rather than keeping the valuable items, Er immediately turned the purse over to Go-Ahead's passenger service office, following proper lost-and-found procedures.

A Facebook post from Go-Ahead Singapore praised Er's actions, noting that he acted in accordance with the company's lost-and-found protocols. The owner of the purse was subsequently contacted by an interchange support officer and was able to reclaim her belongings, including the purse and its contents, on the same day. Go-Ahead Singapore's Senior Operations Manager, Hock Chuan, and Operations Director, Kastriot, personally met with Er on August 14 to express their gratitude for his exemplary service and commitment to the company's values of trust and dedication.
