Video of boy driving 'bus 67' in heavy vehicle carpark circulating in S'pore

A person who appeared to be a teenage boy was filmed driving a bus inside a heavy vehicle carpark at night.

Facebook user Zekrom Bendei Kaide posted a video of the act on Oct. 24 and said in the description box: "I'm pretty sure this is illegal even if it's only within HVP (heavy vehicle parking)".

The caption overlaid on the video read, “Welcome on board bus 67.”

Mothership confirms that the bus is not the actual public bus 67, so the number was probably a nod to the viral "six-seven" meme popular among youth.

The bus does not belong to any public transport operator, Mothership understands.

Manoeuvres bus around carpark

The video is a screen recording from a Snapchat account "Blackie boo".

A bespectacled boy dressed in a grey T-shirt and green bermudas could be seen in the driver's seat, steering the bus around the carpark filled with trailers.

The individual seemed at ease and at times turned the wheel with just one hand, circling the lot.

The video's audio suggested that the boy was not alone and someone else was filming him drive.

The person filming could be heard saying: "How does this boy actually know how to drive properly one ah?"

"He didn't even get BC (bus captain) training bro."

Another voice said: "Because he BC already, the guy who gives out the BC training, open the back door, please."

To which the boy driving brakes abruptly, the bell dings, and the person filming says, "Exit".

Netizens chime in

The Facebook user who posted the video said in the comments section, "Although credit where credit is due, he drives better than most bus enthusiasts in the industry".

Another netizen said, "To give him credit, he never drives zigzag" and added, "say real, maybe the idiots shouldn’t have posted these in the first place if they didn’t wanna be in trouble".

According to One Motoring's website, to drive a bus, one needs a Bus Driver's Vocational License (BDVL) and a driving license for the correct vehicle class.

Additionally, to apply for a BDVL, LTA stipulates that the applicant must be at least 21 years old and have held a valid Class 3 Singapore Driving license for at least one year at the point of application.
