The prototype bus stop comes with free Wi-Fi, handphone charging points, bicycle parking and a swing.
A new smart concept bus stop designed by a group of architects from DP Architects (DPA) 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.
Project Bus Stop re-imagines how people transit, interact and socialise in this public space featuring interactive smart boards that provide content and services such as bus arrival timings, a green roof and artwork by local illustrator Lee Xin Li.
Project Bus Stop’s features will be in operation for a year from this month, with the public encouraged to give feedback at [email protected].

Jurong Lake District will become Singapore's first “smart city” – to allow residents ultimate convenience.
The Jurong Lake District will become a mini version of a “smart city” – with more than 1,000 sensors deployed to control and monitor everything from traffic to street lights, and crowded buses. Jurong's residents will be able to use phone applications that can help them find sheltered walkways. Motorists stuck in a jam may find traffic light timings adjusted automatically to ease the gridlock.
Sensors will be deployed in parks to adjust the lighting based on factors such as the time of day and motion detection. Sensors will be able to detect illegal smoking and determine the cleanliness of public areas. Sensors on smartphones can even send data on how bumpy a bus ride is.
These are some of the 15 innovations to be tried out in Jurong as a test bed for Singapore’s push to be a “smart nation”. The upcoming Jurong Lake District will give Singaporeans a glimpse into the future.
