This is Singapore we're talking about, I'm surprised this wasn't the law there any earlier

Nothing wrong with that. Use headphones or don't listen at all, you are not alone in the transit.

I don’t see a problem with this. Now do speakerphone calls.

People will do anything to be a nuisance, if fines aren't the solution then what would you propose?

To me this sounds like the right move, although fines should be proportional to income.

Good, antisocial behavior needs to be stamped out

This is the kind of thing the US transit system should embrace. Public transportation would be a far more pleasant experience by not having to put up with obnoxious riders acting like they own the vehicle.

Good.

“Notwithstanding these new regulations, LTA and the public bus operators will continue to exercise discretion and fairness in managing inconsiderate commuters, especially for cases involving commuters with physical or mental health conditions.”

Glad to hear. I'm pretty sure anyone who plays music on their phone without headphones has a mental illness.

Would be good for our government to send them to correctional facility for treatment.

Loud music, perfume you can smell more than 6 inches away... that's about it, but those two things should be punished.

This followed the introduction of new signage from December 2024 encouraging commuters to be more considerate, including by keeping noise levels down, occupying only one seat and refraining from sitting on the floor.

What's wrong with sitting on the floor, if no seats are free?

Fines are always a terrible solution for anything.

Seriously, just cane the fuckers. fines are only punishments for the poor.l

The second part is weird.

If you're on a >12 hour bus, I don't see an issue with curling up with you feet on the seat next to you to sleep.

Edit: I guess there's no such long busses here because Singapore is so small?

Yea know, I may be living in the belly button of fascist imperialism, but atleast I can play my boom box.

Silver lining type shit.
