Singapore tightens fines for disruptive behavior on busses and trains
World
Singapore is rolling out stricter fines for anyone causing trouble on busses or trains: think playing loud music, hogging seats, or sneaking snacks.
Get caught and you could pay up to 500 Singapore dollars (about $560), while bigger offenses might cost as much as 5,000 Singapore dollars (roughly $5,500).
The Land Transport Authority says it's all about keeping rides smooth and respectful for everyone.
