SBS TRANSIT MAKES TRAVELLING WITHIN THE CITY EASIER WITH
CITYBUZZ
To make travelling within the city area even more convenient, SBS
Transit will be launching and giving free rides on three CityBuzz
services on 13 December 2004.
In line with the CityBuzz, service ambassadors from SBS Transit
will be on board selected buses to give away honey to commuters and
balloon sculptures to children between 5pm and 7pm on that
day.
Looping the city, CityBuzz will operate daily from 10am to 10pm,
calling at key stops at Marina Promenade, Esplanade Theatres, City
Hall, Clarke Quay, Eu Tong Sen Street, Raffles Hotel and Orchard
Road (see attached map for the detailed routeing).
Mr Ong Boon Leong, Chief Operating Officer, SBS Transit said,
CityBuzz will appeal most to tourists as they get to experience
the must-see areas of Singapore in the most economical way. For
the locals, CityBuzz is an alternative mode of transport for
travelling within the city besides the existing bus services. The
locals can also be buzzed by the sights and sounds of Singapores
cultural diversity.
The CityBuzz services are offered on aircon double deckers and will
stop at each bus stop every 10-15 minutes. All CityBuzz buses will
spot a different service plate from the normal SBS Transit buses
and commuters can identify them by looking out for a friendly bee
at the bus stops and in front of the buses.
Like a monorail, CityBuzz will call at all designated stops without
the need to press the bell for stop. A chime will be sounded at
every stop to alert passengers. Fares for CityBuzz are at $1 a trip
by ez-link card or cash. A $5 CityBuzzPass is also available for
unlimited rides on all CityBuzz services for a day. CityBuzzPass is
available at all TransitLink Ticket Offices and authorized sales
agents.
