For senior bus captain Abdul Lathiff Mohamed Rafi, who is 50 years old, driving isn’t just a job – it’s a source of pleasure and pride, which he derives from providing guidance to newcomer bus captains and by ensuring a safe and comfortable ride for all passengers.
Having enjoyed driving all types of motor vehicles since he was a young man, he joined SBS Transit in 2000 after working in a family business and as a head cashier at a department store.
A typical day for Mr Lathiff starts at 5am, when he arrives at Ulu Pandan Bus Depot to either fulfil his driving responsibilities or take on mentoring duties. “As a mentor, I provide guidance to newcomers as well as bus captains who may require extra attention,” he explained.
