Public invited to vote for colour of new Tower Transit bus fleet

The public has been invited to vote for the colour of the new buses used under the Government contracting model, reported The Straits Times. 

The two colour choices, bright red or lush green, were unveiled yesterday by Senior Minister of State for Transport Ng Chee Meng during a visit to the Joo Koon Integrated Transport Hub. The chosen colour will make its debut on buses to be used by Anglo-Australian company Tower Transit, which will start operations in the western part of the island from the second quarter of this year.

Mr. Ng said, "The design team thought these were representative colours - red symbolising our country; green, the lush greenery. Let's see how Singapore votes."

The public can cast their votes at http://colouryourbuses.sg, or at selected MRT stations and bus interchanges. Voting for the new bus livery started yesterday and will end on Feb 5^th. To help commuters visualise the new colour schemes, 10 red and 10 green buses will be deployed on the roads during the voting phase.
