This is one of the smelliest bus. many south asian workers use
this service, and the smell is there, unmistakeable. It is not
pungent like hell but it is just unpleasant, a mixture of grease,
oil, sweat, decay and BO. the smell is worse if the aircon is not
strong.
i wonder do these people bathe at all? or use any soap? are they
used to their own smell that they dun smell anything anymore?
it is like out of 10 passengers, 6 are foreigners from South Asia.
How can the bus not smell. we are not expecting everyone to wear
cologne, but dun wear yr BO to public buses, coz it is an enclosed
space. spare some thoughts for other commuters. this is not bomboy
or dhaka, where buses have no or just 1 door, and not even
air-conditioned.
these third-world workers should learn some basic hygiene since
they are now in a modern clean city like Singapore, and not retain
their dirty habit of living everyday as if it is their own country.
They should buy deordorant, one bottle is less than $3.00.
I pity the poor driver, or those who have to travel on this bus to
and from work everyday. Simply unbearable. alternatively, these
workers should just ride in their own bus hired by their company.
all of the same smell packed in one bus... a world of their own,
and thank god!
