My contribution for Pink Saturday are buses with pink features in them.I noticed the new buses over here, have very pretty pink railings in them. Most of our buses are air conditioned and fitted with a mobile TV. No eating and drinking allowed in the public transports to keep them clean. The old buses always ended having cockroaches cause inconsiderate people eat and drink in the buses.
Oh I like these open top buses. Did you spot the pink bus in the photo below? This was taken at Bras Basah Road.
These open top buses are known as Hippo Bus and they are mainly for tourists.
Each Hippo tour lasts approximately 60 minutes, depending on traffic conditions. The Hop-On Hop-off system allows tourists to tour at their own leisure pace. Spot an interesting place or sight and simply inform the captain or HiPPOtainer. Hop off and walk around at your on pace and tourists can always continue the tour later by hopping onto the next HiPPO bus.
You can get more information and the prices for the hippo bus in their official website.

Singapore is a beautiful country. One day I hope to ride one of those.
ReplyDeletei think it's fun to have pink buses :-) Never experienced riding in those kind of buses where you can sit at the top (perfect for tourists, right?)
ReplyDeleteHappy Pink Saturday!

Alice, I loved seeing the pink buses of Singapore! Some day, I would like to ride on one of them and tour your country. :-)

What lovely pink buses - and how sensible to ban food & drink. The buses here in London are a total disgrace. Most unpleasant! But so are the tubes and the trains...
ReplyDeleteHappy Pink Saturday and Happy 4th July (being from the UK, I hadn't realised it was Independence Day...).
Oh, pink buses! And pink railings - your buses sound clean and wonderful. Happy Pink Saturday!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I would love to visit your home someday.
ReplyDeleteI hope I can ride a Hippo bus someday. Thanks for sharing. Happy PS!
ReplyDeleteHappy Pink Saturday Alice! Those buses are fabulous and so colorful! I wish we were more creative with our buses here in the San Francisco bay area!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!

Glad we do not have to fret about transport in Singapore. Great service and all - buses ,trains, taxis. You've got it covered. Congrates!
ReplyDeletesuch fun buses! I hate when I see some people eating in the bus- that is so rude and stinky! luckily, our busses are so crowded that it isn't much place for people to get on with food... :D
ReplyDeleteI love the Hippo bus and would be proud to ride it. Lovely post, Happy PInk Saturday, Char

Deanna :D
we dont have bus like that here because they'll only see wires. hahaha...
ReplyDeleteWe were in a subway recently (in Germany) & sadly the carriage smells as across from us was a wall-attached trashbin, overfilled with old pizzas. I'm glad when food is banned on public transport.
ReplyDeleteMust be fun ridding on the open air upper deck of the bus and enjoy the beautiful scenes around. Have you ride on one before?
ReplyDeleteThank you all for the nice comments and compliments.
ReplyDeleteJC, yes I rode on topless bus in Sentosa but it was not under the same management of Hippo.
