Passengers on bus service 87 found themselves in a stink after poo-like substances were discovered onboard Hougang Avenue 3 on the afternoon of Jun. 19.
In response to Mothership, a spokesperson for SBS Transit, Grace Wu, said that the bus captain informed their operations control centre when he was alerted of the discovery and the trip was disrupted at about 4:16pm.
The bus captain then transferred the passengers onboard to another bus to continue their journeys.
Footage of the poo-like substance and tissue paper was circulated on social media, with the caption on an Instagram post by @sgfollowsall claiming that they were found at the back of the bus.
