Dogs are known for their love of the outdoors, and many owners often take them around the island with their cars.
But owning a car in Singapore isn’t cheap, which is why some pay a premium for pet-friendly transportation services like GrabPet or private taxis to transport their furry kids.
A driver sparked an online debate on Sunday (Oct 11) after she was seen taking her dog out on an unusual ride – a BlueSG car.
In a video shared on Facebook, the woman and her male passenger were seen parking the electric car at a BlueSG station and leaving with a dog in tow.
While the vehicle is part of a local car-sharing service, other users may not share your love for dogs.
This was seen in a caption accompanying the clip: “Taking your dirty, smelly dog and dirtying the carpool. Irresponsible!”
While some Facebook users questioned whether it is okay to have a pet on board in shared vehicles, others disagreed with the post implying that the dog had soiled the car.
A netizen also expressed concern about the cleanliness of the vehicle, explaining that dog dander and saliva can trigger allergic reactions in some users.
According to the BlueSG FAQ page, pets are not allowed in the car.
AsiaOne has contacted the company for comment.
