Squabbling MRT Commuters Take Argument Outside, TransCom Officers Greet Them At The Door

Squabbling MRT Commuters Run Into TransCom Officers At Yew Tee Station

When individuals confront each other, settling their disagreements outside is a common follow-up. That seemed to be the case for 2 MRT commuters in a recent viral video.

Unfortunately for them, TransCom officers were coincidentally waiting right outside the doors they exited from when they were taking their arguments outside.

The rather amusing video garnered many shares on the Singapore Incidents Facebook page, with over 900 at the time of writing.

Passengers get into argument in MRT carriage

The start of the video shows 2 men engaging in a seemingly heated conversation in an MRT carriage.

Moments later, the shorter of the 2 men gestures for the other man to exit the train, just as the MRT reaches one of its stops.

As soon as he steps out of the carriage, the shorter man starts berating his taller counterpart.

In his moment of fury, however, it seems the middle-aged man was completely oblivious to the TransCom officers standing right next to him.
