Woman Filmed Shouting at Younger Commuter on Empty Bus

A video of an elderly woman arguing with a younger passenger on an SBS Transit bus has gone viral. The incident happened on March 9 2026 on bus service 69.

The footage shows the older woman sitting in a priority seat while filming and shouting at a younger woman sitting next to her. She was heard yelling at the passenger to get out of the seat while complaining that young people today have no manners and leave the elderly standing.

When another passenger tried to step in and help the woman told him to shut up and mind his own business. However people watching the video online noticed something interesting the bus was actually quite empty with at least three other seats available nearby. This has led many to call the woman entitled and ask why she made such a big deal.

In Singapore using priority seats is allowed for everyone although giving them up to those in need is encouraged.

This viral clip has once again raised questions about how we should behave and treat each other on public transport.
