As the rainy season closes in, many people are faced with the dilemma of moving about freely through the torrential rainfall

One bus captain, however, seems to be taking his duty one step further for the passengers he brings along on his coach.

Caught by a random stranger in Singapore, Shaheera Effendi, who was recently at a bus station in the regional centre of Tampines, when she came across a bus driver who was helping passengers off the bus, sheltering them with an umbrella until they were under the stand.

"He was holding an umbrella to shelter the passengers alighting the bus. Kudos to the bus driver for the kind gesture," she said in a comment to Singaporean media outlet, Mothership.

According to Shaheera, she had arrived off another bus at approximately 2.25pm when she saw the random act of kindness.

The picture was reportedly taken during heavy downpour on Saturday, 12 November, with the Singaporean Bus Service (SBS) captain having been identified from bus service 292, though his personal identity has yet to be revealed.

Many people have come forward to applaud the bus driver for taking that extra step outside his regular duties to accommodate every day civilians
