From 29 April, SMRT Buses will be introducing Wheelchair-Accessible Buses (WAB) on four more trunk service routes - 187, 852, 857 and 970. These four bus services connect passengers from MRT and LRT stations to a number of medical facilities including Econ Medicare Centre & Nursing Home in Choa Chu Kang, Gleneagles Hospital and Medical Centre, Jurong Polyclinic and Mount Alvernia Hospital. The latest addition brings the number of wheelchair-friendly bus routes up to 17, a fifth of SMRT’s bus routes. Currently, 245 buses or about 23% of SMRT’s bus fleet are wheelchair accessible.
