A commuter is calling for a review of a smoking hotspot near a bus stop outside Labrador Park MRT station after repeatedly encountering smokers whose cigarette smoke drifts towards waiting passengers.
Stomper Lim shared photos showing a woman smoking beside a green dustbin near the bus stop on June 10 at about 7.38am.
