SINGAPORE: A bus stop on Boon Lay has been transformed into Singapore’s first gym bus stop.
Called “Recharge,” the prototype will allow commuters to exercise and charge their mobile phones while waiting for their bus.
“This is a simple but meaningful initiative for our residents to get simple exercises and charge their phones while waiting for the bus,” National Development Minister Desmond Lee said in an Instagram post on Wednesday (Nov 23).
The project is a collaboration between the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD), the Land Transport Authority (LTA), the Ministry of Health Office for Healthcare Transformation (MOHT) and grassroots Boon Lay.
Located at 20 Boon Lay Drive, this is a two-week trial starting from November 21 to December 5, Mr Lee said, adding that the vouchers will reward people who get 150 minutes of exercise a week. .
However, entrants will need to be Boon Lay residents to participate.
