Saigon Bus Driver Hangs Stuffed Animals in Vehicle to Cheer up Passengers

[ASEAN NOW News]

An enterprising Saigon bus driver has placed stuffed animals inside his bus, to bring cheer to all his commuters.

 

Maybe placing stuffed animals all over one’s workspace is not particularly a new concept. After all, these cute little creatures can do wonders in helping to relieve stress or even brightening a dreary commute to work every day.

 

But when you are a bus operator, the idea of “decorating your workplace with stuffed animals” is an entirely different story, according to a report by https://tuoitrenews.vn/.

 

Not only are you doing yourself a service, but you are also spreading positivity to passengers who board your vehicle.

 

And that is exactly what these two men in Saigon, a bus driver, and his ticket checker, have done in this heartwarming initiative.

 

The stuffed animals are prizes won from claw slot machines.

For regular expats and commuters who frequent the bus route between the Eastern Bus Station and the Hiệp Thành Market in Saigon, the image of Bus Number 146 is become well known.

 

The bus’s unique decoration is the work of driver Phạm Ngọc Tuyền and ticket checker Phạm Văn Sang.

 

Packed with hanging stuffed animals has become a common sight. Not sure if they will accept your favorite teddy bear in stead of cash for your next ride, but you never know!!!
