The Commuter's Nightmare: Soaked by Rain? Here’s Your Instant Fix at the Bus Interchange.

The sky was clear five minutes ago. Now, a wall of tropical rain stands between you and the shelter of the bus interchange. You make a frantic dash for it, umbrella fighting a losing battle against the wind, but it’s too late. Your shirt is completely soaked.
It’s a scenario every Singaporean commuter knows intimately. And it’s always followed by the same sinking feeling as you tap your EZ-Link card and step onto a bus with the air-conditioning on full blast.
You now face a 45-minute journey home, shivering in a cold, damp shirt. It’s more than just uncomfortable—it’s a miserable end to a long day. But what if you could solve this entire problem in the 60 seconds you have before your bus arrives?

The Unspoken Misery of a Wet Commute
Getting caught in the rain is one thing, but being forced to endure a long commute while soaked is another. It’s a uniquely unpleasant experience that combines several factors:
The Chill Factor: A wet shirt in a heavily air-conditioned bus or MRT cabin can make you feel freezing cold, as the moisture rapidly evaporates from your skin.
The Clingy Discomfort: There’s nothing worse than the sticky, clammy feeling of a wet t-shirt clinging to your back and shoulders.
The Musty Aftermath: When you finally get home, you’re not only miserable, but you also have a sopping wet, potentially smelly outfit to deal with.
