Hands up 🙌🏻 if you’ve spotted (or rode in) any of our 60 electric buses! ⚡️🚌

#DoYouKnow why electric buses are a greener mode of transport? 🌱 For one, they help reduce carbon emissions by about 7,800 tonnes per year – equivalent to what 1,700 petrol cars would have generated! 😲 They are also quieter as they produce an ambient noise level of around 75 decibels – way lower than a typical bus plying our roads! #NowYouKnow 💡

#SayHello to more electric buses on our roads as we work towards electrifying 50% of our public bus fleet by 2030. 🤩

#PressPlay to find out more from our friendly Bus Captain, Syaqif!

#PSA We’ve just launched a Request for Proposal for a Master Plan consultancy to remake the surface streets along the North-South Corridor (#NSC)!

As we progressively complete the NSC’s tunnel and viaduct, surface streets along the corridor, such as Ang Mo Kio Avenue 6 and Ophir Road, can be repurposed (~30 football fields of space!) to give more priority for walking, cycling, buses, and community spaces. 🚴🏽‍♂️🚶🏻‍♀️🚌

#DoYouKnow that we’ve been engaging residents and other stakeholders on their ideas (see photos above!) for these spaces since July 2023? #NowYouKnow 🏘️👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Stay tuned for more details! 😎
