However, Jayrius revealed that at the age of 21, he was diagnosed with end-stage kidney failure. In his video comments, Jayrius recounted receiving the devastating news on his 21st birthday. Doctors were unable to explain why his kidneys suddenly failed. He added that he is currently looking for a donor. Working with SMRT Jayrius also shared that SMRT has been "very nice" by hiring him when other companies would not and by offering flexible work arrangements that allow him to rest during his dialysis treatments. When people ask him why he became a bus captain, Jayrius explained that beyond passion, he found it "very fulfilling and very exciting". SMRT's youngest bus driver According to Lianhe Zaobao, Jayrius is SMRT's youngest bus driver. Speaking to the Chinese media, Jayrius recounted that he had been fascinated with buses and the public transport system since he was five years old. As he grew up, he developed a strong interest in the transportation industry and a desire to work in it. Thus, after completing his national service, he decided to become a bus captain. During his physical examination, the doctors discovered some abnormalities and what Jayrius thought was a minor ailment had become end-stage kidney failure. "That was a very difficult period. I was reluctant to accept it and wondered if it was a misdiagnosis," Jayrius told Zaobao. He shared that he was frustrated with the diagnosis, but told himself he could not stay depressed forever. He wanted to fulfil his dream of driving a bus, and though he was not sure if any company would accept him given his diagnosis, SMRT eventually hired him. Breaking stereotypes Jayrius shared that his family felt that being a bus driver was a profession for middle-aged people, Zaobao stated. His family believed there was limited room for advancement in the job and even opposed his decision to drive a bus. But nothing would change his decision. After working as a bus captain for almost three years, Jayrius looks forward to a new day on the job. "I feel very fulfilled by being able to safely transport passengers to their destinations and connect people with places." When asked about his future, Jayrius told the Chinese media that his biggest wish was to find a suitable kidney donor and receive a kidney transplant. "I hope that one day I can receive a transplant and be truly free to do what I want to do."
