In a statement today, the agency said it took a serious view of the incident, and had also cancelled the permit of the bus in question.

It said it found several infractions of the law by the bus company, including the failure to comply with Section 22(1)(b)(iii) of the Land Public Transport Act 2010 (Act 715), related to the “conduct of a driver and conductor of a public service vehicle”.

It said the company had also flouted Section 23(1)(b) of the Act for “failure of a licensed operator and their worker to give the highest priority to the safety of passengers and road users”.

“In line with the powers provided (to Apad) under Section 27 of Act 715, the cancellation of the vehicle’s permit will take effect from Aug 7, 2025,” it said.

A video shared on TikTok showed the bus driver giving a car driver on the right lane of the highway the middle finger before cutting in front of him.

In the video, the passenger of the car, ostensibly the driver’s wife, claimed that her husband was already driving at 140kph on the right lane when the bus driver flashed his high beam at them.

“He also flashed his high beam at the other cars in front. He drove even faster. So dangerous,” she wrote in the caption.
