STOMPer hd51sgcck noticed a bus parked along Tampines Avenue 6 with its engine running, while the driver was sitting outside watching a group of people flying radio-controlled aircrafts.

This STOMPer says:

"A TIBS bus (no. TIB559M) that provides shuttle service between Tampines MRT and Giant/Courts/Ikea furniture mall was seen parked along Tampines Ave 6 with a 'Off Service' sign displayed.

"The engine and the air-con were running and the hazard lights were flashing.

"The driver, who was in the red-coloured uniform, was seen reading newspaper with a group of RC aircraft enthusiasts nearby.

"His female companion who was on board the bus, alighted later to join him."

​

After investigations carried out by SMRT, the company found that the shuttle bus driver had gone against the company's guidelines, and have since been reprimanded for stepping out of the bus while leaving the engine on.

This is following a STOMP posting by STOMPer hd51sgcck who noticed this bus parked along Tampines Avenue 6 with its engine running, while the driver was sitting outside watching a group of people flying radio-controlled aircrafts.

A Spokesperson for SMRT told STOMP:

"I refer to STOMPer hd51sgcck's post "Driver parks bus along roadside to watch people flying RC aircrafts" (20 July).

"Our investigations showed that on 20 July, the Service Representative (SR) of the shuttle bus service was taking a break before starting his next shift of ferrying passengers.

"He had not parked at the designated area during his break, and did not turn off the engine when he stepped out of the bus for his break. This is against company guidelines.

"We have since reprimanded him on the matter.

"We thank STOMPer hd51sgcck for his feedback."
