After a passenger accidentally left her bag containing $32,000 worth of cash and jewellery on a bus, an SBS Transit staff member went the extra mile by paying for her taxi fare so she could retrieve it.
A Facebook post by SBS Transit Ltd on Wednesday (July 22) recounted the incident where the passenger, identified only as Mrs K, had accidentally left her bag on bus service 853 earlier this month after alighting at a bus stop.Â
She then approached the staff at Ang Mo Kio Interchange for help after realising what had happened.
According to the post, the bag contained, among other things, the passenger’s passport, $2,000 cash and $30,000 worth of gold jewellery meant for her daughter’s wedding.Â
As bus service 853 is operated by Tower Transit Singapore, senior assistant interchange supervisor Nithyananthan Palne (Nathan) immediately contacted the operator to locate the missing bag.
About 20 minutes later, the bus operator confirmed that a fellow passenger had found the bag and handed it in.Â
