The two buses will be operated by Tower Transit, and are deployed on Mr Hue’s service 173, which serves MINDS Hub @ YMCA-MINDS Bukit Batok, and service 859, which serves Rainbow Centre Admiral Hill School. “Members of the public shouldn’t raise their voice at , nor should they give them weird stares, otherwise they may feel self-conscious,” he said.
“The bus captains will have a better understanding of how they can help … if an autistic passenger has a meltdown, they can now look at it and manage the situation better,” he said. The two buses were unveiled by Tower Transit in partnership with the Public Transport Council under the Caring Commuters Assist Readily with Empathy bus initiative.
