It comes a day after another man was arrested over a similar incident.
On Sunday, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) said it was aware of a post showing a man urinating near an escalator at one of the North East Line (NEL) exits of Outram Park MRT station on Jan 10.
"After receiving news of the incident, staff from SMRT and SBS Transit worked together to handle the case. SBS Transit staff promptly arranged for the affected area to be cleaned and lodged a police report," LTA said.
A member of the public who spoke to SMRT staff at the Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL) MRT station wanted them to use the closed-circuit television system to identify the culprit.
The SMRT staff explained that the CCTV at the NEL exit belonged to SBS Transit, which operates the NEL.
SMRT alerted SBS Transit to check the CCTV footage and the man was identified and arrested.
"LTA and the transport operators strongly condemn such anti-social behaviour, which not only deface public spaces but also pose health and sanitation concerns for commuters," said the authority.
"Such actions are unacceptable, and LTA will work with police to push for the maximum possible penalty to be taken against the culprit. We thank the member of the public for alerting us on this issue."
