Passengers in Singapore could be fined up to Sg$500 (about $400) for putting their feet onbus seats or eating on buses.

The Land Transport Authority said those who severely soil buses or endanger others could face fines of up to Sg$5,000 ($3,900). Offences include vomiting, urinating, spitting, spilling bodily fluids or smearing seats and floors with food, mud or grease.

Known for its strict public-space rules, Singapore has earned the nickname `Fine City`. Officials said they would consider individual circumstances, particularly when offences involve commuters with physical or mental health conditions.
