50% of commuters have the tendency to peek at others’ mobile phones

According to a My Paper poll involving 100 Singaporeans, many Singaporeans get annoyed when other commuters peek to see what they are doing on their mobile devices while on public transport. However, 42 per cent also admitted to doing so themselves, and out of which, 36.7 per cent said that they found it hard not to as the screens were within their sight. Academic Director of SMU Executive Development Michael Netzley said that on a crowded bus or train, people may find peeking hard to resist as the screens can be right in front of their faces.
