A Stunning Smack‑of‑its at Eunos Bus Interchange
What the heck? We’re practically drowning in feather‑free, feather‑laden chaos!
On 22nd October, one overly‑obsessed commuter snapped a photo and a quick video that turned the promiscuous Eunos Bus Interchange into a real‑life slug‑slide of bird droppings and grime. The image was so shocking that it pretty much made the whole place the dirtiest bus stop in Singapore.
“This is the dirtiest bus interchange in Singapore,” the self‑proclaimed poster read.
“Bird s* is everywhere – even on the railings, so we can’t have a proper rest on our backs, buttocks, or arms!”
How Does SBS Transit Respond?
Responding to the viral tweet, Grace Wu, SBS Transit’s VP for Customer Experience and Communications, gave a quick rundown of their cleaning strategy:
- Cleaning is scheduled twice daily.
- Birds from a nearby field like to take a dip and sometimes perch on the overhead beams and misbehave.
- Those cheeky birds also leave droppings behind.
“It’s a constant challenge to keep the spot pristine,” Wu admitted. “We’re exploring extra measures to improve the cleanliness, and we’re sorry for the inconvenience.”
Why the Bummer?
While buses roll in and out, the stray bird antics turn the interchange into a public health and hygiene nightmare. Like a real‑life version of a bird’s‑bath, commuters have to dodge animal droppings while waiting for their ride.
Still, there’s hope. By ramping up the twice‑daily wash and considering “bird‑friendly” solutions, SBS Transit hopes to clean up the mess and make the interchange look like a tidy bus depot again.
Pro tip: If you must stand in the ditch, keep a pretty good distance from the railings – no one wants to become a bird droppings buffet.
