A man boards the bus with a bag of durians and refuses to get off — what would a bus captain do?

One bus captain in Singapore recently chose to turn off the air conditioning and refused to drive to the next stop.. He had a red plastic bag in front of him, which was believed to contain durians.The bus driver replied: "It's because someone complained yesterday."The man with durians also said that it wasn't the first time he had done this, and tried to reassure the driver that nobody would file a complaint against her.

Several moments later, other passengers could be heard complaining about the heat, and one even hurled vulgarities at the bus captain."There are so many people onboard and you're reacting like this because of a small issue?" one of them questioned.Although the passengers took issue with her actions, netizens felt that the man was at fault for bringing durians into the bus in the first place, as pungent fruits are not allowed on public transport.

According to the Ministry of Transport, durians are not allowed on trains and buses as the overpowering aroma of the fruit "may be unpleasant for some and lingers in air-conditioned areas".
