SMRT is introducing wheelchair-friendly buses on four more bus
services, bringing the total number of wheelchair-accessible bus
services run by the operator to 38.
From Sept 29 onwards, 30 such buses will be added to bus services
178, 853, 904 and 947.
SMRT in a statement on Monday said that bus captains have been
trained to assist passengers using wheelchairs. They will ensure
that the passenger's seatbelt is fastened and the wheelchairs are
secured before the bus moves off. They will also help to tap the
passengers' ez-link card. Bus captains will also stow a ramp -
which is manually-activated for persons in wheelchairs to get on
and off the bus - to its original position before opening the front
door for other passengers to board.
Passengers may contact SMRT customer relations at 1800-336-8900 on
weekdays (excluding public holidays) from 7.30am to 6.30pm or
