  In the 1960s, public buses in Singapore used to be non-air-conditioned with two-storey buses simply unthinkable. Putting the evolution of public buses into place, the SBS Transit provides the main bulk of the public buses that we see on the streets of Singapore and has taken the liberty to enhance the public transport experience with facilities of all sorts including a TV onboard, air-conditioning for all buses and wheelchair friendly facilities to ensure that our public buses are delivered on time. This session provides a perspective of the service provider and provides a glimpse of the history and development of public buses in Singapore.
  
  In addition, we meet with some really crazy bus fans who literally chase buses as a hobby. Some say they are weird and crazy. Meet these unbelievable bus fans who create their own fan club to discuss everything about our public buses. Some literally go around chasing for buses, just so that they can take a picture of the buses to add up to their picture collections. The best part is some are not public transport commuters but are still obsessed about buses. Join our bus enthusiasts and hear more about the things that they do!
  
  Due to limited seats, registration is required and can be made via http://golibrary.nlb.gov.sg and surf on to "MAS".
  
  Saturday, 6 Feb, 10.00 am - 12.00 pm, level 16, POD, National Library building.

  To those going. Have FUN!

  soon, we will have buses without seats, since we're having half of our bus space with seats only....

  you won't believe the average utilisation during the off-peak hours does correspond to roughly the number of seats now available on the newer buses....
