List of Wheelchair Accessible Buses

Since June 2006, our public bus fleet was progressively replaced with low-floor wheelchair accessible buses (WABs). These new buses are fitted with ramps to facilitate boarding and alighting of passengers-in-wheelchair. You may click on the links below for WAB services provided by respective bus operators.

Our public transport system has been designed to cater to the special needs of the elderly and other less mobile commuters. You can experience convenient travel by using the barrier-free facilities that are available at the various amenities listed below:
