SMRT issues 309 notifications of offences
Channel NewsAsia - Tuesday, July 28
SINGAPORE: A total of 309 commuters were caught eating and drinking in MRT stations and trains between July 15 and 24.
Operator SMRT says it issued 309 notification of offences in that period after it announced new rules which will see offenders fined outright instead of being warned first.
The fines range between S$30 and S$500.
SMRT says that parents of young children are advised to feed their children before boarding the MRT.
But if the need arises for them to feed their children while travelling on the MRT, they can approach station staff for assistance and necessary arrangements will be made.
This also applies to passengers who need to take medication.
