Abstract

The Ride Etiquette (TRE) is the first student-led strategic communications campaign in Singapore to address public transport etiquette. Targeted at youths aged 18 to 35, TRE weaves humour and creative visuals to raise awareness on poor transport etiquette and in turn, encourage positive behaviour on public vehicles. It strives to stray from typical courtesy campaigns by moving away from print and towards interactive platforms online and on-ground. For example, the campaign came up with satirical illustrations intended to help the viewer understand the consequences of the poor etiquette habits on fellow commuters. This series of drawings highlighted the top five pet peeves on public transport personified by five characters: Pole-Dancing Pammy, Kancheong Kelly, Wide-leg Wally, Funky Fred and Blocking Bob.
