NTU's internal buses don't have route diagrams, so I've made some wayfinding signs. I hope this helps students and visitors with campus navigation!

If you see something that doesn't look right, sort it.

bishan is a lovely place to spot trains 🚃
it's the only subsurface mrt station in singapore - giving it a special vibe!
stand near the walls, grab a cup of coffee, and enjoy watching trains roll by!
fun fact: junction 8 is named after the station's old code - N8!

It's hilarious how some signs have been up for a while and no one bat an eyelid.
After I shared them on socials, perhaps some people went "Oh no, these are unofficial! We got to remove them!" 🙃

Checked out a school street outside Sekolah Kebangsaan Danau Kota 2
This used to be a 2 lane road with parked cars
Today, it's a traffic calmed 30km/h zone with a mobility lane, giving children the freedom to walk and cycle to school 🚲

I love TEL4, but trying to navigate it is tough!
The sheer number of commuters making u-turns after taking escalators in TEL4 stations got me interested in wayfinding
While the new MRT wayfinding signs are sleek, they are oversimplified and lack information for commuters

KL has raised zebra crossings and continuous sidewalks with priority for walking and cycling across side streets 🤩
But sometimes there can be too many bollards that make moving around on a mobility aid tougher

In Singapore, a footpath is minimally 1.8m wide, but when a cycling path is next to it, 1.5m is the standard!
Insufficient space for people who need more room or with mobility needs results in walking-cycling conflicts

KL’s has some cycling lanes in the city centre 🚲
These lanes are built along main roads to help people commute
I like that they get priority when passing side streets, and continue through intersections 👍🏻
However, when they are not protected, people park in them 🙃

I'm disappointed with AMAP (A thread)

The Changi North Corridor was advertised as a "Transit Priority Corridor" 🚌🚃
But renderings for this project in 2024 show no bus lanes in sight.
This isn't a TPC, this is just a highway through a residential area! We've been greenwashed!

The bicycle is a tool invented more than 200 years ago. Today, it's needed more than ever for the safety and liveability of our neighbourhoods.
It's not as hyped as autonomous cars, but it's a tool that fosters autonomous children.
Wishing everyone a happy World Bicycle Day! 🚲

Westies deserve a Bus 2 equivalent that runs parallel to the MRT line + 24/7 bus lanes.
Bus Rapid Transit is something Singapore could look into. 24/7 bus lanes are found along EDSA in Manila, Jalan Sudirman in Jakarta, and SG's buses shouldn't get stuck in traffic too!

when people describe walking on the road like "grandfather's road", i think there's a historical reason behind it
because our grandfathers grew up in a time where our roads were shared by all
just look at how beautiful they were!

vibes at bukit merah town centre - where the food centre, TPTC, and bukit merah interchange are located at
a short walk away is the rail corridor - a path that follows the old railway alignment
even though bukit merah translates to redhill, its mrt station is 1km up north!

The new SMRT chimes are nice when heard for the first few times
But as a commuter travelling from one end of the line to the other, they are too long and get annoying after a while

I think I've found the narrowest walking and cycling lane in Singapore 😂
1.13m wide, Plumer Road Shared Path
(people park their vehicles on it!)
I feel that it would be better if the whole lane is a 10km/h walking, cycling, and driving shared zone like how it is in Melbourne!

COE is like a buffet - once you get past the high cost of entry, you're incentivised to eat (or drive) as much as possible. People who pay more for COE drive more.
Making it quicker and more convenient to Walk Cycle Ride is the better way forward in the long run.
Our vision is to see more people

, and using
#publictransport
... not as a last resort or for lack of a private car; but because it is truly the safer, more efficient, and more accessible option.
