Disruptive and inconsiderate bus passengers are set to face penalties under new laws passed on 14 Oct. Speaking in Parliament, Senior Minister of State for Transport Murali Pillai said the Government plans to regulate passenger conduct to deter inconsiderate acts such as eating and drinking, as well as playing loud music and videos on mobile phones. Offenders will face penalties proportional to the severity of their behaviour, with harsher punishments for repeat violations, he added.
Murali noted that the specific regulations will be introduced later and will draw reference from the Rapid Transit Systems Act, which currently governs commuter behaviour on trains.
