Singapore Imposes Fines for Disruptive Bus Behavior
· World · BBC News, NDTV
Singapore has introduced new regulations allowing authorities to fine bus passengers up to $500 for disruptive behaviors like playing loud audio, eating, or placing feet on seats. More severe offenses, such as causing danger or soiling public transport facilities, can result in fines of up to $5,000. These rules align bus policies with existing regulations on the city's Mass Rapid Transit network.
