Bus downpour: Rainwater splashes inside vehicle

She added that some passengers even had to move to the back of the bus to avoid getting wet.

“Free admission, 60% chance of getting wet, 10/10 excitement,” she wrote in jest.

Speaking to Stomp, the user, who goes by Ms Lim, said the incident occurred between 4.10pm and 4.30pm on Nov 9 while she was travelling on a Service 197 bus. The bus was travelling from the Clementi area towards National University Hospital at the time.

The 29-year-old researcher recalled that rainwater had splashed into the bus intermittently during part of the journey, flooding the area near the door and repeatedly lifting the floor panel with its force.

She added that a family seated in the front priority seats was left completely drenched and eventually moved towards the driver’s seat to avoid getting splashed.

Initially seated two rows from the rear door, the Xiaohongshu user and her boyfriend also moved to the last row after getting soaked.

Stomp has reached out to SBS Transit for comment.
