A woman was spotted removing her slippers and displaying her feet on the front row of seats.

Netizens said that this kind of behaviour is disgusting as her legs have not only marinated the seats in front of her. But also “polluted” the air.

The best part is there is a sign right in front of her telling commuters not to have this kind of behaviours.

A photo emerged online showing a woman happily eating away inside the MRT.

She was seen using her phone and enjoying her meal inside the cabin.

For eating inside an MRT, she is liable for a fine of up to $500 under the Rapid Transit Systems (RTS) Act.
