A man in Singapore who missed his stop had allegedly demanded the bus driver to turn back, and refused to alight unless the driver did so, causing the vehicle to come to a standstill.

Missed his stop

TikTok user Wreon88 uploaded a three-part recording of the incident on Saturday night, June 19.

In his video, a bespectacled man in a blue long-sleeved shirt can be heard claiming in Chinese-accented Mandarin that the bus went past his stop.

Disgruntled, the man asked the bus driver to turn around and send him back.

When the driver refused, the man then whipped out his phone and said he wanted to call the police to lodge a complaint against the driver and to resolve the matter.

The man can also be heard refusing to get off the bus, claiming that it was too far from his destination.

A woman's voice can be heard off-screen coming to the bus captain's defence.

She claimed that the man had failed to alight at his destination, which was apparently the same stop where she had boarded the bus earlier.

She said: "Yah, you stop there, I go up, but he never go down."

The bus captain can be heard saying that he had not heard the bell ring before the man's stop.

The man, however, claimed that he had pressed the bell.

Insisting that the bus captain was at fault, the man refused to alight from the bus to get to his destination, and kept insisting that the bus captain send him back.

He could also be heard asking for a taxi, and demanded monetary compensation for the time that he lost.

The man also said this was his first time taking a bus, but he knew where to alight.

In the third video that was posted, another passenger in a black t-shirt was seen stepping forward and suggesting that the man walk back to the stop that he missed.

However, the man claimed that he's "an old man", and that he can't walk.

Towards the end of the video, the TikTok user said all of the passengers in the bus alighted eventually and boarded the next bus.
