Some kids dream of driving a bus when they grow up. Whoever was behind the wheel in this video may not have wanted to wait.

An individual believed to be a teenage boy was seen at the wheel of a bus, according to a video uploaded to Facebook by user Zekrom Bendei Kaide on Friday (Oct 24).

"Apparently people under 18 without bus driver vehicle license can drive buses now," the user quipped.

The video is also captioned: "Welcome on board bus 67". It is unclear whether the number refers to a bus service route or is simply a reference to the "six-seven" meme popular among youths.

Appears comfortable behind the wheel

In the video, the individual, who is wearing glasses, sits in the driver's seat of what appears to be a public bus, making his way around a parking lot at night.

Multiple heavy vehicles can be seen parked around the lot as the bus moves through the area.

The individual appears somewhat skillful in handling the vehicle, smoothly twisting the steering wheel to make turns and calmly adjusting his speed.

In comments, many users pointed out the individual's apparent skill in driving the vehicle.

"Still drive better than most licensed car drivers," said one.

Another commented: "He can be a bus driver next time."

Others also found humour in the matter, with one user questioning: "[Is this] his full-time CCA (co-curricular activity)?"

However, many users also disapproved of the individual's actions, wondering how this situation occurred to begin with.

"The real question is how did he get on that bus?" one user said. "Shouldn't the bus parking area be protected?"

Many also questioned if the video was made using artificial intelligence (AI), with some comments calling the video out.

Speaking with AsiaOne, Zekrom, who is not a Singapore resident, shared that he found the video circulating among his friends and uploaded it on Facebook.

He added that he neither filmed the video nor personally knows the individual seen in it. AsiaOne could not independently verify the identity, age or circumstances of the person featured in the footage.

Questions over bus ownership

While the bus resembles a public bus, it is unclear which operator it belongs to. Checks by AsiaOne indicate it may be an older MAN bus model that was previously used in public transport service and later acquired by a private bus operator.

According to industry sources, some private bus operators acquire retired or second-hand buses previously used by public transport companies. The incident is believed to have taken place in Singapore, possibly within a heavy-vehicle parking area.

Who can drive a bus in Singapore?

Under Land Transport Authority regulations, bus drivers generally require a valid Bus Driver's Vocational Licence to operate buses in Singapore. Applicants must be at least 21 years old and have held a valid Class 3 driving licence for at least one year.

AsiaOne has contacted A&S Transit, SBS Transit, SMRT, Go-Ahead Singapore and Tower Transit for more information.

有些孩子梦想长大后当公交车司机。视频中驾驶公交车的那个人可能等不及了。

根据用户 Zekrom Bendei Kaide 于周五（10 月 24 日）上传到 Facebook 的一段视频显示，一名疑似十几岁男孩的人驾驶着一辆公共汽车。

“看来现在未满 18 岁且没有公交车驾驶执照的人也可以开公交车了，”该用户打趣道。

视频的字幕是：“欢迎乘坐67路公交车”。目前尚不清楚这个数字是指公交线路，还是仅仅指代在年轻人中流行的“六七”梗。

开车看起来很放松

视频中，一名戴着眼镜的男子坐在看似公共汽车的驾驶座上，在夜间绕着停车场行驶。

当公交车驶过该区域时，可以看到停车场周围停着多辆重型车辆。

该男子似乎驾驶技术娴熟，能够平稳地转动方向盘转弯，并冷静地调整车速。

在评论中，许多用户指出该驾驶员的驾驶技术非常娴熟。

“他的驾驶技术仍然比大多数持证司机好，”其中一人说道。
