\nThe prototype bus stop comes with free Wi-Fi, handphone charging points, bicycle parking and a swing.
\nA new concept bus stop along Jurong Gateway Road aims to make daily commuting less boring, with free Wi-Fi, handphone charging points, e-books download, bicycle parking and even a swing.
\nConceived by a group of architects from DP Architects (DPA), Project Bus Stop re-imagines how people transit, interact and socialise in this public space, revealed a joint statement by the Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore, Land Transport Authority, National Parks Board and Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA).
\nThe prototype bus stop also features interactive smart boards that provide content and services such as bus arrival timings, a green roof and artwork by local illustrator Lee Xin Li.
\n\u201cWe are looking forward to see how commuters use, experience and enjoy this new setting. Hopefully the community will appreciate how bus stops can be an extension of their social environments, as sites of possibilities, fun and enrichment,\u201d said DPA\u2019s Director Seah Chee Huang, who spearheaded the initiative.
\nProject Bus Stop\u2019s features will be in operation for a year from this month, with the public encouraged to give feedback at AUDE@ura.gov.sg.
\nIn a blog post, National Development Minister Lawrence Wong said: \u201cWe will review the public response to the features and services to see if they should continue to be operational.\u201d
\nWong shared that he was very encouraged to see the young architects come forward with their ideas to make public spaces more vibrant.
\n\u201cThis is why URA has an initiative called \u201cOur Favourite Place\u201d to provide funding support to individuals and groups with ideas to activate and enliven our public spaces,\u201d he said.
\nHe added that \u201cplanning our future city\u201d is not just a job for urban planners.
\n\u201cWe all can play a role in shaping our streets and public spaces. The more we do so, the more we strengthen our sense of ownership, identity and emotional connection to Singapore our home.\u201d
