Can ask him go work as BC?
Gd job!
Did he manage to pick up any fares? What was the service number, if on?
I remember 1 case in Tiong Bahru where a man stole a private bus to drive himself and his friends home after missing the last public bus.
security lapse..
transit security eating snake somewhere ah..
Imagine the perm BC's reaction when he realise that his bus is missing when he want to start trip...
All buses are equipped with GPS tracker and some with CCTV so you cant really go far with a stolen bus...
$302,639? Citaro?
This man is likely to be familiar with the operations of the buses at bus parks...that's why he can go into the bus and drive the bus away from the terminal.

He don't have a Class 4 driving licence, how could he be an ex-driver?

U forgot that majority of SBST n SMRT bus drivers also dun have class 4 let alone vocational license.Those 4A is issue by public bus co so that class 3 holders can drive auto public buses only.If they resign they are left with only class 3 after 1 year
