A public bus driver in Singapore was assaulted while on duty on August 16, marking the second incident involving Go-Ahead Singapore staff in three months, according to local news outlet CNA. The driver was operating Service 2 between Changi Village Terminal and Kampong Bahru Terminal when the assault occurred around 5:20pm. The driver was treated at Changi General Hospital and has since returned to work, with Go-Ahead stating it is providing the driver with "full support."
A police report has been filed, though specific details of the assault remain undisclosed. Go-Ahead expressed solidarity with public transport workers, stating that they deserve respect and should never face abuse or violence while performing their duties. This incident follows another assault on a Service 2 driver on May 23, when a passenger allegedly became angry over missing his stop, causing the driver to experience blurred vision.
The driver reportedly sustained non-serious injuries. The National Transport Workers’ Union acknowledged the incident, highlighting the ongoing issue of violence against public transport workers.
