Done by: Tay Ming Yi
Class of 1-02 (2011)
Description: Considering the hustle and bustle of the morning and evening rush hours, Ming Yi designed the New
Elderly Friendly Bus to better address the needs of the elderly when taking
public transport to and fro from their place of residence. Ferrying only the
elderly, the seats of the bus have headrests and railings attached to them to improve the
comfort factor and their actions of getting up from their seats, respectively. Hooks are installed at
the sides of seat railings to hook on umbrellas and grocery bags. Humps are
lined along the floor edges of the wheelchair slots to prevent the wheelchair
from moving forward should the bus jerks to a halt. Ez-link card scanner screens
are made bigger to display a larger font sizes. There are wider spaces
in-between seats so that the elderly are able to walk about without having to
squeeze through narrow gaps.
