SINGAPORE: Train operator SMRT will be stepping up pest control measures at its stations and depots, after a video circulating online showed a rat on one of its trains.<\/p>\n
In the video posted on social media, a rat is seen scurrying around the cabin of a train as two people attempt to corner it. People are also seen lifting their legs to avoid it as it scurries past them.<\/p>\n
“SMRT is aware of a post online about a rat sighting onboard one of our trains on the East-West Line<\/span>,” said SMRT Trains president Lam Sheau Kai on Monday (May 25) in response to CNA’s queries.<\/p>\n SMRT will be stepping up pest control measures at its stations and depots, he added.<\/p>\n “Rats may occasionally enter trains through station platforms, track areas, undercarriage gaps, or gangways between train cars.<\/p>\n “As part of our regular maintenance regime, trains are thoroughly cleaned when they return to the depot at the end of passenger service every day,” Mr Lam said.<\/p>\n The company also reminded commuters not to eat or drink on trains and at the stations, as food remnants may attract rats and other pests.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n SINGAPORE: Train operator SMRT will be stepping up pest control measures at its stations and depots, after a video circulating online showed a rat on…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":55165,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/dam.mediacorp.sg\/image\/upload\/s--lzl0Ck40--\/c_crop,h_900,w_1600,x_0,y_0\/c_fill,g_auto,h_676,w_1200\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1\/mediacorp\/cna\/image\/2026\/05\/25\/img_3157.jpg?itok=VS-KJhNp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[10797,23424,10711,18182,14762,6835,1930,697,4302,5079],"class_list":["post-55164","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-buzz-news-sg-global","tag-control","tag-depots","tag-measures","tag-pest","tag-rat","tag-smrt","tag-spotted","tag-stations","tag-step","tag-train","wpcat-2-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55164","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=55164"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55164\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/55165"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=55164"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=55164"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=55164"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
