Transport Ministry calls for safety videos to be aired on tour and express buses

SEMENYIH, Nov 11 — The Transport Ministry today called on tour and express bus operators to ensure safety videos were aired on board, for the benefit of passengers.

Minister Anthony Loke Siew Fook said the videos would help passengers be aware of action required during an emergency, besides encouraging them to wear their seat belts.

While seat belts are not yet compulsory for bus passengers, inculcating a seat belt-wearing culture is nevertheless important, the minister said, expressing the hope that bus operators would encourage such efforts through the airing of safety videos.

Referring to creative safety videos aired on various airplanes he had boarded in the past, Loke said such efforts served to attract the attention of passengers and inculcate safety awareness among them.
