Singapore enforces strict bus rules on Oct. 14, 2025, with fines up to $1,000 for disruptions and expanded security checks.
Singapore has passed new laws effective October 14, 2025, to crack down on disruptive bus behavior like loud music, eating, drinking, and littering, with penalties based on severity and higher fines for repeat offenses.
The rules, set to fully align with train regulations by 2026, grant authorities expanded powers to conduct security checks—including frisk searches and X-ray screenings—at bus interchanges and on buses, with fines up to $1,000 for non-compliance.
LTA officers and trained staff will carry out checks, which officials say will take less than a minute and prioritize safety, especially amid terrorism concerns.
Measures also include stronger protections against abuse of transit workers and plans to use COE revenue for transport improvements, while maintaining substantial annual subsidies.
