Woman Seen Sprawling on Bus Sparks Outrage Among Singapore Commuters

A bizarre incident aboard a Singapore public bus has sparked heated discussion online, after a woman was spotted stretching her legs high against the ceiling while seated at the back row.

The passenger, whose behaviour was captured by a fellow commuter, appeared completely at ease as she spread her legs across the seat, seemingly indifferent to those around her. According to the post circulating on local forums, her unusual posture not only startled passengers but also drew complaints about poor hygiene and inconsiderate behaviour on public transport.

Eyewitnesses claimed that the woman’s actions caused discomfort to those seated nearby, with some describing an unpleasant odour emanating from the incident. While it is unclear what prompted her to sit in such a manner, the act quickly went viral, prompting netizens to question whether stricter enforcement of public transport etiquette is necessary.

Netizens criticise ‘inconsiderate behaviour’

Social media platforms were soon flooded with sarcastic and angry comments. One user quipped whether the woman was “ready to give birth on the bus”, while others described the act as “attention seeking” and “disrespectful to fellow commuters”.

Others suggested that she may have committed similar stunts before, with one commenter noting: “This aunty has been reported multiple times already, but still continues her antics.” Some even called for intervention, arguing that repeat offenders of such behaviour should face penalties or counselling.

The discussion highlighted broader frustrations many Singaporeans share about inconsiderate passengers—ranging from seat hoggers to those playing loud music or eating smelly food on board.

Calls for better awareness on commuter courtesy

Public transport authorities in Singapore have long emphasised the importance of commuter courtesy campaigns, urging riders to remain mindful of shared spaces. However, viral incidents such as this show that social norms are still occasionally disregarded.

While it remains unknown if any official action was taken against the woman, commuters have stressed that simple respect for shared spaces would prevent such uncomfortable experiences. For many, this episode is yet another reminder that basic hygiene and courtesy go a long way in keeping Singapore’s buses and trains pleasant for all.
