A man was jailed for 11 months after he punched an SBS Transit bus captain, SBS Transit said in a Facebook post on Thursday (Oct 1).
The incident took place on June 8 on board bus service 30, the post said.
The bus operator said the man had been distracted by his phone and failed to alight at the stop he had wanted to, so he went to the captain and demanded that he be dropped by the roadside.
The bus captain declined, citing safety issues.
Then the passenger turned violent, SBS Transit said, adding that he punched the bus captain while the vehicle was still in motion.
To ensure the safety of other commuters, the bus captain immediately stopped the vehicle.
Police and ambulance subsequently arrived on scene and the bus captain was provided with medical assistance, SBS Transit said.
