The recent MRT disruptions in Singapore have understandably caused significant frustration and inconvenience among the public. The extended delays, crowded alternative transport options, and the impact on daily routines have led to a surge of negative sentiment online and in person. While the disruptions have highlighted the need for improvements in the MRT system, they have also underscored the importance of reliable and efficient public transport for Singapore's residents. Thus, this is a timely article about ComfortDelGro, a Singaporean transport conglomerate, which has successfully expanded its operations beyond its domestic market, demonstrating the capabilities and resilience of Singaporean companies on the global stage. Key factors contributing to its overseas success are its: 1/ Strong Domestic Foundation: its deep roots in Singapore's transport industry have provided a solid foundation for its international expansion. 2./ Strategic Acquisitions and Partnerships in various countries, allowing the company to quickly establish a presence in new markets and leverage existing infrastructure and customer bases. 3/ Adaptability and Localization, i.e demonstrated strong ability to adapt its business model and services to meet the specific needs and preferences of local markets. This includes tailoring its operations to comply with local regulations and cultural norms. 4/ Technological Innovation, to improve its operations and enhance customer experience. This includes the use of mobile apps, GPS tracking, and electric vehicles. 5/ Risk Management to mitigate the challenges associated with operating in foreign markets. This includes managing currency fluctuations, political risks, and regulatory changes. By leveraging these factors, ComfortDelGro has been able to establish itself as a leading player in the global transportation industry. The company's success serves as a testament to the capabilities and resilience of Singaporean companies and their ability to compete on the international stage. #singapore #internationalization #transportindustry

This is very interesting article to see the view of both side. Having to say that while bus lane can be annoying at times due to some confusion it is also important to know that to keep in mind what do we want to achieved in the end. I prefer the concept to increase the number of bus, improve bus lane, improve bus route etc. In the end the idea is that citizen in klang valley can move around without even using their own transport. Compare our capacity of klang valley and outer klang valley i would say the approximately population is about the same with singapore. But singapore have 5000 busses running for the people. Perhaps a point to consider and ponder about. If all this improve perhaps we can also save parking places and even mitigate emission as we are now using public transport rather than each one of us drive. (assumption here not taking the type of energy to be a factor of decision) Something for us to think about for future. Ai Lin Eileen ChiangSabarinah Marzuky

As we stand on the cusp of a new era, the future of human mobility demands our attention. Our daily commutes, once mundane and routine, have become critical threads in the fabric of our increasingly complex lives. In envisioning a better tomorrow, we must consider how to invest wisely in the mobility. We must invest heavily in public transport. Trains, buses, and trams remain the backbone of urban mobility, capable of moving large numbers of people efficiently and affordably. A robust public transport system is essential for reducing our reliance on private vehicles and mitigating the environmental impact of our commutes. Modern public transport should be designed with the user in mind. It should be reliable, clean, and safe, with frequent services that connect seamlessly across the city. The integration of technology can enhance the user experience, providing real-time updates and contactless payment options. By prioritizing public transport, we not only reduce traffic and pollution but also promote social equity, ensuring that everyone has access to affordable and efficient transportation. In conclusion, the future of human mobility lies in our ability to create compact cities, embrace micro mobility, and invest in public transport. These three pillars, when combined, offer a holistic approach to improving our daily lives. As we move forward, we must remember that transportation is not just about moving from point A to point B; it is about enhancing the quality of life for all humans. By investing in these areas, we can build a future where our cities are more livable, our environment is protected, and our societies are more connected than ever before. Let us take this opportunity to reimagine our world and invest in a future that prioritizes the well-being of humanity. The journey ahead is not just about transportation—it is about creating a better, more harmonious world for all. #publictransport #mobility #efficiency

Creating the first AI-driven Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system in Lagos, Nigeria I'm happy to share that Optibus and CapitalCore will be working together to provide an intelligent transportation system (#ITS) and AI-driven Bus Rapid Transit (#BRT) system in Lagos, one of the world’s fastest growing cities and the most populous urban area in Africa. In the last two decades, Lagos’ population has doubled to nearly 16 million. This rapid growth has been accompanied by severe congestion and vehicle emissions, with commuters spending up to three hours in traffic each day and Lagos becoming the 10th most polluted city in Africa. At the same time, 52% of households are car-less, making them reliant on fragmented, often unregulated and unreliable mobility options to travel long distances. Better public transportation is a key part of the solution to sustainable urban development in Lagos. Working with our partner CapitalCore Outsourcing Limited, Optibus' software will be used to plan, schedule, and roster the Lagos BRT system and achieve the following goals: 🔹 Boost ridership 📈 🔹 Reduce personal vehicle reliance and vehicle emissions 🌲 🔹 Expand the BRT fleet 🚌 🔹 Improve the passenger experience by minimizing wait times ⌚ 🔹 Enable the historic transition of Lagos' BRT from traditional, time-consuming methods to a fully digital platform for the first time 🖥️ I am proud to see Optibus support Lagos as the city grows and evolves, and to further our vision of providing accessible, sustainable, and effective public transportation for everyone, everywhere. Technology can transform the future of cities and urban mobility, and we’re excited to bring this impact to one of Africa's largest and fastest-growing cities. Together with CapitalCore, we’re ready to set a new standard for public transport innovation in Nigeria and beyond. 🚀 Read the full announcement here: https://hubs.ly/Q02P6Snl0 #BRT #Lagos #PublicTransportation #MobilityAfrica

Digital Transformation in African Public Transport: What’s Next? African public transport is on the verge of a major shift. 🚍💡 As technology continues to reshape industries across the continent, public transport operators are feeling the pressure to modernize. The days of relying solely on manual processes are slowly fading, as digital transformation takes center stage. Picture this: A long-distance transport company in Kenya, managing a fleet of 30 buses, is struggling with outdated methods. Managers are bogged down by endless paperwork—tracking sales, auditing performance, and ensuring smooth operations. ⏳✍️ Everything is manual, time-consuming, and costly. It’s a familiar story for many in the sector. But change is in the air. Thanks to new digital tools, transport operators are finding ways to streamline operations. With automation, ticketing systems, and real-time data access, what once took hours or days can now be handled in minutes. 🕒🔧 This transformation isn’t just about saving time—it’s about reducing costs, improving efficiency, and enhancing the overall experience for passengers. Imagine a future where travelers no longer stand in long queues for tickets or wonder if their bus is on time. With the right digital solutions, passengers can book tickets on their phones, receive real-time updates, and even track their bus’s progress. 📱🚌 It’s the kind of convenience that builds trust and keeps customers coming back. But as exciting as this shift is, it doesn’t come without challenges. Many transport businesses are hesitant to adopt new tech. The costs can be intimidating, and there’s a learning curve for staff. However, for those brave enough to embrace change, the benefits are undeniable—and they’re already seeing the rewards. 💼📊 So, what’s next for African public transport? The future is digital, no doubt about it. Companies that adopt technology early are setting the stage for a more efficient, reliable, and customer-friendly industry. 🌍🚀 The question isn’t whether digital transformation is happening—it’s how fast your company can catch up. #DigitalTransformation #AfricanTransport #PublicTransport #FleetManagement #Automation #TechInTransport #SmartTransport #Innovation #Efficiency #RealTimeData #TransportSolutions #CustomerExperience #FutureOfTransport #TransportTech
