Bus captains are awesome. They have come a long way since the 1980s. Ours in singapore are super professional. New found respect for them after this video.
Thank you so much for your hard work and ensure that we arrived our work early.
Bus captain effendi is my friend. Very humble and nice guy. We used to play ps3(callofduty) together. But now. No more.. Hahahaha

im soo amazed!,i remember when i visited the country, it takes an app to monitor if the bus is coming,, i felt like idont want to go home, i had a best expereince during my visit for 2 weeks.. and stayed in yishun .. i love every corner of singapore
The instructor for advance course is more friendly then the basic.

Recruits dont need to give so much respect cos they usually drop out after a while. The ones that last to the advanced stage deserves better treatment so more respect given lah. Normal mah.
wow thank you for working so hard to make sure we have a good bus experience 💯💯👍🏻
我是巴士司机。新加坡巴士真的太爽了。我每次在巴士上驾车,总感觉那冷气冷到一种境界,老子感觉在家乡东北的雪天里。🚎🚋🚋🚋🚃🚌

Wow, this is a good insight on how the buses are managed. Good transparency to see how it works and the people behind the scenes. Looked forward to see more of such videos so that Singaporeans are educated on these and don't take it for granted, finally stop complaining.
Ah, now I know how to open and close
Thanks for this informative documentary. Impressive and meticulous SBS Transit .. possibly one of the best in the world !!
Wow i didnt know this is how they operate. Good job!
Saluted to all bus captain. A job well done👍👍👍
Once, I was waiting for service 43 at Buangkok station and I saw 2 Service 27 buses. It’s a pretty high travel service once every 5 minutes one will come

There's actually a condition called 'restless leg syndrome', where we feel the need to move our legs all the time. Sometimes it's subconscious and we don't even realize it until someone brings it up. I know how it feels because i have it
Not easy to drive public buses in Singapore,Unreasonable road users and passengers

How come red is open and green is close?..
The basic driving, it’s not because he’s not doing well. The instructor is terrible. Can see the difference with him and the advanced instructor.

SBS Transit theory system is backdated,BCs still driving recklessly followed by SMRT..I’m not saying Tower Transit & Go-Ahead is good but again they have the standards

Before go ahead company entered the bus scene... SBS buses were notorious for their bunching, lateness (30mins for a bus?!?!?!) etc. Then go ahead entered and did a very good job in being punctual (other than the 1st week due to lack of bus drivers) now SBS also improved significantly... Goes to show how important it is to introduce competition BC in the past SBS very complacent due to their monopoly

Ian Wai why I can’t blame them, if I don’t blame them, they will never improve, then in the first place don’t do public transport then? I paid for my fares so I have the right to complain, that’s not called convenience then. Only I face this with sbs other operators, at least they have other solution or tell you ahead as a courtesy manner. Not this sbs, don’t even know why they even won the tender for Yishun. Lta is blind I guess.. maybe you are a bus captain of sbs ? If you, don’t think as a driver, you should think as a commuter. Yes I understand the stress of the driver. Anyway I did not even blame the driver. It’s their management, don’t know how to manage. That’s why after seeing this video, it’s all fake.. that’s why I’m named fake account. ✌️

Most popular choice of transport because too many losers unable to afford a car and car price in Singapore is way too expensive, thanks to PAPies. Taking public transport is extremely uncomfortable and have to sardine daily, not to mentioned have to tahan the disgusting body odour and fart from passenger.
