Lately, it seems that the cleanliness of buses are getting very, very bad. Dusty windows, corners, cobwebs, cockroaches all over, dusty seats, stale air are all some of the things we find in many buses. Doesn't any authority take charge of it? Is there any standards imposed on the industry?
If not, do you guys think that by alerting the NEA, they might be poised to take action? Since they are obliged to ensure the population enjoys a clean environment, I would want to try see if they'd do anything. As quoted, "The Environmental Public Health Division ensures a high standard of public health through comprehensive ground surveillance and appropriate preventive measures. This Division is also responsible for the [b]overall cleanliness in Singapore and a high standard of hygiene in our food retail industry. It also plays a lead role in enhancing our living environment through programmes such as the Hawker Centres Upgrading Programme (HUP) and Clean Public Toilets Programme."[/b]

Any thoughts/comments on how i should go about doing this? btw, this is more for SMRT Buses because their buses are soooo disgusting[/b]
i don't know about you, but these buses have cockroaches, ants crawling all over them, seats that are terribly dusty, dustbins which are broken and not fixed, spider webs all over the place. if you do stay in am SMRT Buses area, just try to take any bus from Choa CHu Kang, Bukit Panjang, Bukit Batok. 75% of the buses are pretty much dirty. The buses obviously are not up to standard at all.Originally posted by ditzy:Must it be clean enough you can eat of the floor and seats?![]()
Example like TIB1103M [KJ 190]. Front seat is dusty. I can't stand it!Originally posted by carbikebus:Simple reasons,We can start by not EATING OR DRINKING in the buses.Even if they hire Pest control every 3 days also doesn't help much.BTW I feels that SMRTB should change the cushion seats on its O405s/DAFs/Lances,So dusty
yup...exactly. i also agree that there are irresponsible commuters who eat and drink on the buses but what about problems like dusty window panes, dusty corners and mouldy windows?that cannot be blamed on commuters. furthermore, in countries like australia, their tram operators do allow eating and drinking on trams but such problems are not AS evidents. What i'm saying that commuters do have a part to play, but SMRT, as an operator isn't playing their role enough.Originally posted by carbikebus:Simple reasons,We can start by not EATING OR DRINKING in the buses.Even if they hire Pest control every 3 days also doesn't help much.BTW I feels that SMRTB should change the cushion seats on its O405s/DAFs/Lances,So dusty
We ca start by sending friendly feedback like why they must clean the interior dust/Greasy windowsOriginally posted by simnatic:yup...exactly. i also agree that there are irresponsible commuters who eat and drink on the buses but what about problems like dusty window panes, dusty corners and mouldy windows?that cannot be blamed on commuters. furthermore, in countries like australia, their tram operators do allow eating and drinking on trams but such problems are not AS evidents.
