The Vehicle Location System (VLS) will be introduced on another
10 SBS Transit service routes starting Monday.
They are service numbers 225, 229, 262, 269, 273, 292, 317, 333,
334 and 335.
SBS Transit says this addition follows the successful launch of the
system over the last three months on 15 service routes.
The VLS allows for the automated updating of fare stages through a
satellite-based bus tracking system.
Once the bus position is determined automatically, bus drivers no
longer need to update the fare stages manually, and this will
eradicate human error in the updating of fare stages and hence,
ensure accurate fare deduction.
To inform commuters about the VLS, posters and decals will be
displayed at Ang Mo Kio, Bedok, Bukit Merah, Jurong East, Serangoon
and Tampines Bus Interchanges where the ten services are operating
from. - CNA
