Stomper Lyy witnessed the heartwarming act on Feb 4 at about 2.45pm. The incident took place on SBS Transit service 963, at the National University Hospital (NUH) bus stop. Lyy shared with Stomp that an elderly passenger on a mobility scooter was waiting to board the bus when the on-duty bus captain prepared to assist. However, before he could do so, an off-duty bus captain -- who was also on board -- insisted on helping instead. "He also assisted in putting down the ramp for the passenger to board the bus," she said. "I just thought that even a small act of kindness deserves praise. "I would like to send my compliments to this bus captain." While it may have been a simple gesture, acts like these make a difference in someone's day.
