A recent Facebook post sparked a discussion about the increasing number of Singaporean commuters who play videos and music loudly on public transportation, disregarding the personal space of others. Many shared their frustration, comparing MRT rides to KTV or Bollywood, while others suggested a cultural shift towards encouraging a reading society on public transport.
“Nowadays, public transport is like KTV or Bollywood” — SG commuters say about people who listen to music loudly on their phones
It seems that one thing Singaporean commuters have in common these days is a distaste for those who have no respect for personal space on public transportation and insist on listening to or watching videos on their mobile phones with the volume up so that those around them can hear it. “You and all of us,” commented one man.“Nowadays, public transport is like KTV or Bollywood,” another wrote. “Once they put on an earpiece, they become ‘deaf’ to outside lo, then got to speak loud because they think we deaf!” a commenter opined.Another disagreed, however, and added that people who play music on their phones at full volume seek attention. In other countries, it’s customary to have “quiet rides” and an offence to speak or play music loudly.
