'Soap bus ticket' - Asiri Hospitals - Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka's Asiri Group of Hospitals wanted to encourage people on public buses to wash their hands, as a preventative measure to avoid spreading germs.

The Soap Bus Ticket, an innovative ticket-roll infused with soap, was invented so that every bus ticket issued to a passenger would have a secondary function as a free piece of soap.

The Soap Bus Tickets rolled out across a number of major Sri Lankan bus transit lines, and were supported by posters and signboards at major stops, in public toilets, and in Asiri hospitals, to educate passengers.
