On November 4, a Go-Ahead Singapore bus captain faced verbal abuse and threats from a male commuter, marking the fourth such incident since May. Despite the recent 11-month imprisonment of a man for punching an SBS Transit bus captain, the latest case occurred on Go-Ahead Singapore's service 136. The altercation took place on Ang Mo Kio Avenue 6, with a video circulating on social media showing the commuter standing by the bus captain, speaking loudly, and later punching the air in front of the captain.
The bus captain remained calm, acknowledging the man's gesture to move forward, but could not open the door due to a concrete barrier. When the man boarded the bus, he began verbally abusing the captain, who attempted to explain the situation. GAS stated that bus captains work to keep commuters safe and that abuse towards them is unacceptable.
GAS is reviewing the incident, including CCTV footage, and may take further action with authorities. Under Singapore's Conditions of Carriage, disruptive behavior can lead to removal from the bus and potential legal consequences under the Protection from Harassment Act.
