I noticed Lok Jiaern give up her seat on the mrt and bus to elderly and warmly assist them. She enjoys conversing with elderly and doing little acts to make their day.

I saw a classmate of mine, Joey Poon, who is always giving up her seat to those in need. It’s a small thing, but a thing that makes a big difference. Be like Joey!

I was on Bus 197, SH4507R, on 18 November. A lady alighted the bus with an elderly man. I realised the lady had left her bag behind. When the bus stopped at the traffic lights, I saw the lady running towards the bus along the pavement, which had railings. I alerted the bus driver. He opened the back door, and I managed to pass the bag to the lady. Though panting she thanked me several times. The bag must have meant something to her. I was glad I had helped someone and made their day.

I was on my way to work on 19 October when I noticed a visually impaired lady with a white cane at Paya Lebar Station. She was about to take the train bound for Pasir Ris. I approached her and asked if I could assist her, which she eagerly agreed. Through my learnings from the Caring Commuter Champions e-learning course and my experience assisting Abby who is also visually impaired, I have built up confidence to offer help to fellow commuters whenever possible. On this occasion, I met the joyous Auntie Daisy. When I guided her to take the lift, she said she would rather take the escalator. She held on to my arm and told me to let her hold the railing when going up the escalator. She requested to be brought to a specific door at the platform as it will be easier for her to alight at her stop. There was a kind SMRT staff who brought us to the specific carriage. When she was seated, I mentioned to Auntie Daisy that I am a Caring Commuter Champion, and being a Champion gave me the courage to ask her if she needed assistance. I also told her that sometimes I have my own reservations as I don’t know how others would react. She told me not to worry. Some may reject help but this should not stop me to offer help if I have the chance, especially to people with visual impairment because they really appreciate it. She also told me that I was doing fine with the way I was assisting her. Before alighting at my stop, Auntie Daisy mentioned that she is a member of a Mobile Massage Team and let me take a photo of her business card with the Singapore Association Of The Visually Handicapped (SAVH) logo on it. What a fulfilling experience!

One of Bus 103’s female bus captains is very polite. When the passengers board and alight from her bus, she would always greet them with her sweet smile. Thank her for her good service.

I boarded bus 302 on Sat 29 Jul from the bus stop opposite Blk 661 at 9.40am. The bus driver greeted commuters with positive vibes, asking the elderlies to walk carefully as the steps are wet, and telling the kids to be careful and to walk slowly in the bus. He will also wait for the people to stand properly or sit down before driving off.

Late Tuesday night, on 13 June, I was travelling on the East West line on my way home, when I felt nauseous. A Muslim lady, who was sitting next to me, noticed I was looking unwell and asked how I was feeling. She offered some ointment and even massaged my hands and head to help ease my pain. When I finally reached home, my nausea was completely gone. I did not manage to get her name due to my condition in then, but I am really thankful to her for what she did!

I had a fulfilling experience assisting a visually impaired person today. After both of us alighted, at Serangoon station, I asked if I can be of help when I saw that she was trying to find the lift. She said yes. I brought her to the bus stop and waited for the bus with her. When her bus arrived, I assisted her to the seat nearest to the driver and informed the driver of her stop. She gave her heartfelt thank you before I left. It felt good to have the opportunity to assist a fellow commuter. I would usually be apprehensive because I'm not very sure about what to do in such situations, but my learnings from Caring Commuter Champions e-learning course helped build up my confidence to ask if I can be of help. I will not hesitate to do same thing again if given a chance.

I was walking home from work after alighting from the bus. A young lady, probably in her early 30s, was lying on the floor, groaning in pain, and vomiting. A student from the Nanyang Polytechnic nursing school, Niviya, was comforting the woman, trying to make her feel better by offering water, and even letting the woman lie on her lap instead of the floor. She then called the ambulance, and the both of us stayed there till the paramedics arrived.

A bus driver helped a senior on a wheelchair boarded the bus. He moved away from his seat, unfolded the slope and assisted the senior. Upon arrival at the destination, the bus driver again stepped out from his seat and helped the senior to alight from the bus. This is not common in Malaysia, at least I had never seen this kind of assistance throughout the last 4 years of public transport experience in Kuala Lumpur. This is a good job and literally “disabled-person-friendly” public service. It is this extra small effort and care that makes a huge difference. It really shows Singapore as a humanity oriented country where all people are treated equally and full-heartedly.

A Malaysian bus driver who drives Bus No. 173 has been plying this bus route for more than 20 years. He is so friendly and caring to the regular commuters . He will wait for the seniors to be seated before moving off. He also waited for any commuter who nearly misses the bus to board the bus. He requested a transfer to drive other bus routes a few years ago. We miss this kampung spirit that he possesses. I hope to see a public transport culture where bus drivers can take more pride in their job. They can be more tactful in handling rude and impatient customers and stand up as our hero when they see something amiss.

An ode to the kind man and lady who came forward to help the man who appeared to be unwell and was sitting on the floor in the MRT. Not sure if he was drunk or fainted, but the young man went to check if he was conscious and able to respond. He and the lady then helped to sit him upright until staff came at the next station.

Last week a lady dropped some money notes from her pocket while standing up to alight, she was rushing a bit as she at first did not realise it was her alighting station so she rushed before door closed. She did not realise the notes that dropped on the chair and floor. It was late at night so it was one of the last few trains available and not many people were around, only myself opposite her. I saw the notes and quickly picked it up, but the door has already closed. I alighted at next station and took the train back to the same exact station she alighted. At first did not see her around, so I went to pass it to the passenger service staff. As soon as I did, that the lady cane back probably looking for the notes or was about to report about her missing notes. I returned the notes to her and she was in tears - she didn’t believe this kind of miracle would happen to her!

My friend, Aloysia, would always initiate to help others in need when she commutes daily on public transport. Many a times, she has helped children by giving them money to board the bus when they realize that their cards have no more money inside. There was also a time when she stopped to help an elderly man who had fainted at the bus interchange and waited there till the paramedics arrived. To me, she definitely embodies and deserves the title of being a “Caring Commuter”.

On the bus, a mum was pushing a pram onto the bus was not wearing a mask. Her accompanying friend asked her where her mask is and she suddenly realised she had forgotten it. A commuter behind me heard their conversation and took out her spare surgical mask to hand over to the lady. The lady was so grateful. A true act of selfless kindness.
