SUPAA’D SAHID, BUS CAPTAIN

“Working at Woodlands Transport is like being part of a very large family where everyone knows each other.”
Supaa’d Sahid, Bus Captain

One of the longer serving employees at Woodlands Transport is 49-year-old Bus Captain Supaad Sahid. The father of three teenagers cite flexible hours, a company culture that promotes family values, and job security as reasons he has been with the company for 16 years. With the company, Supaad was able to upgrade his driving license from a Class 3 to 4 and finally, a Class 5 which means he is cleared to handle vehicles from motor-cars to large trailers.

Supaa d s office is a 45-seater bus which he keeps in tiptop condition as if it was his own. During the course of his driving assignments, he enjoys meeting and interacting with customers including commuters and tourists. One of his fondest memories was having a group of visitors from Khazakstan invite him and his family to visit them and offer him a job as a driver in their country.

Such moments, as well as regular passengers buying him the occasional breakfast and coffee, makes him appreciate his job as a bus captain with Woodlands Transport.

Supaad hopes to continue in this role and provide bus transport services to Woodlands Transport customers for as long as he is still able to, until he retires.
