They can take you almost everywhere across Singapore – but what is this particular bus doing outside of the country?<\/p>\n
A familiar green bus has caught the eye of Singaporeans after a China-based salesman uploaded an Instagram post on Wednesday (July 15) trying to sell the vehicle.<\/p>\n
In the post, user Penghuiz59, also known as Peter, shared that he is at Nansha port in Guangzhou.<\/p>\n
Behind him is a green double-decker bus, complete with recognisable livery bearing the Singapore slogan “Moving Ahead Together”.<\/p>\n
“This is bus,” he said in broken English. “Do you like this car?”<\/p>\n
Peter continued: “This car is very beautiful. If you want to own this car, leave me a message. Thank you!”<\/p>\n
His video has since attracted over 150,000 views with more than 3,500 likes.<\/p>\n
Many users pointed out the origin of the bus, with one user even jokingly saying, “Welcome to Singapore!”<\/p>\n
Another user quipped: “Include COE (Certificate of Entitlement)?”<\/p>\n
“Cannot wait for the bus to come to Singapore,” another user said.<\/p>\n
Others also tagged the Land Transport Authority (LTA) in their comments, enquiring if they were interested in making the purchase.<\/p>\n
Whether anyone takes up Peter on his offer, the bus he’s selling is similar to the double-decker buses that will soon be plying Singapore’s streets.<\/p>\n
LTA previously awarded six contracts for 660 new electric buses, of which 300 are double-deck buses, according to a press release in December last year.<\/p>\n
This is LTA’s first large-scale purchase of electric double-deckers, which are set to be progressively deployed from end-2026 to replace diesel buses that are approaching the end of their lifespan.<\/p>\n
Among the 300, 150 are being purchased from ST Engineering Mobility Services, 50 from BYD and 100 from Cycle & Carriage.<\/p>\n
AsiaOne has reached out to Peter and LTA for more information.<\/p>\n
