Yesterday, I met a really nice female bus 95 driver in the morning. It was super overcrowded as usual and I was the last few to sardined thru. So I was standing at steps, Mdm Hoe (I managed to see her name tag wahaha) stood up and grabbed my hand, asked the passengers nearby to give a little more space for me to go up the steps and then place my hand to hold on a metal railing. Gasps for air.. Okayyy, behind me was a guy, so Mdm Hoe asked him to exchange place with a girl who was behind him because standing at the door is more dangerous? Most probably I guess. The door was about to close, 2 guys dashed to the door. Without hesitation, Mdm Hoe asked for their ezlink cards, tapped for them and asked them to enter thru the back door since typical singaporeans don't like to move to the rear even after much begging from her. As she drove pass the next stop, she gave an apologetic hand signal to the passengers waiting at the stop.
She really went the extra miles to do so many things in just 10 minutes. For a moment I feel like giving her a hug and tell her that she made my day! And no wonder she is a SENIOR bus captain (her name tag said so).
