A 17-year-old student of one of Singapore's top JC allegedly punched a bus driver in the face during a quarrel on Wednesday.
The 53-Year-Old SBS Transit driver tried to stop the HCI student from leaving.
The teen's girlfriend, who is from another school, had been found to be using an invalid concession card.
The bus driver, who suffered minor bruises on his face, was given two days medical leave. He had lodged a police report against the student, and the police said they are still investigating.
SBS Transit said it is taking the matter seriously as the driver was assaulted in the course of his duty.
Ms Tammy Tan, SBS Transit's director of corporate communications, said the bus captain had acted accordingly to company procedures when he retained the concession card.
Bus captains, she said, are authorized to retain any concession card for investigation.
''Our bus captains have the right to work without fear of being attacked.We will seek redress for them through all available channels,'' She said.
The driver, Mr Wong Kok Leong, told TNP on Sunday that he never expected to be assaulted on the job in his 25 years of working.
Worse, he said, was being hit by someone younger than his own children, who are aged 18, 20 and 25.
Mr Wong said that on Wednesday afternoon, the student and his friend boarded his SBS bus No 170, opposite HCI, on Dunearn Rd.
The boy was in his school uniform but the girl was not.
The boy's friend tapped he wallet on the card reader,but it could not deduct the fare from the EZ-LINK card.
Instead, the card reader beeped continously.
Tired liao.. someone continue leh -
Aiya another case of a failure at life. Nothing special in Singapore.
Fark, I'm only 15 and I have more sense than him.

That guy would be happier. Well at least my friends were happy for 3 days free holiday. -
yes, I agree .... such people should be taught a lesson ... such acts undermines the very core of civic society ....
I only feel sorry for the parents .... but to have brought up someone like that, I guess the parents are partially responsible also ...

that guy ought to be killed!

Continued
The alarm was activated because the student's concession card had either been reported lost or stolen.
So Mr Wong said he had to follow the standard procedure of retaining the card.
When he told her she had to surrender the card, she initially refused.
She handed over only after he insisted and explained that the card had a problem and had to be retained.
Said Mr Wong in Mandarin: ''All this while, the male student kept arguing that the ez-link card belonged to the girl. I kept repeating my explanation, but he refused to listen.''
Just as Mr Wong was about to issue her a retention slip telling ehr to contact TransitLink, he said the male student snatched the ez-link card from his hand.
Bot students then went and sat down.
Mr Wong quickly pressed the emergency help button to alert the operations control centre that he was having trouble.
The control centre's operator advised him to drive ahead slowly while waiting for the traffic inspector to catch up with the bus and assist him.
Six bus-stops later, a passenger wanted to alight
Said Mr Wong in Mandarin: ''I asked the passenger to alight from the front door as I was afraid the students would try to leave.''
True enough, he said the students tried to make a dash for it.
He then stopped the bus and stood at the front exit blocking them.
He said: ''I held out both my arms and held the poles on either side of the bus to prevent them from leaving.
''The female student tried to leave,but I refused to budge. Next thing I knew, the male student punched me on the left side of my face.''
He said he stumbled forward and fell on the floor, hitting the driver's seat.
He claimed that the male student allegedly continued to hit him. Inthe process, Mr Wong's shirt pocket was torn. ''I was too shocked to react. I couldn't believe a kid was beating me,'' Said Mr Wong.
It stopped only after a male passenger came forward to restrain the student, who struggled and shouted until the passenger let go.
''The passenger has to hold him back by both his arms, or he would have continued to beat me. Some of the female passengers started to scold him,''
Mr Wong recounted.
