The video of a bus driver who stopped to shelter his passengers with an umbrella at every stop has been circulating online, garnering praise and heart-warming messages from netizens.
The Facebook group All Singapore Stuff on Wednesday (September 16) shared a 20-second video clip of an elderly man waiting at a bus stop, held in place by the rain.
