How it works

Three steps. Then the city opens up.

  1. Board Bus 111 toward Esplanade

    Any stop on the route works. Hop on, find a seat by the window.

  2. Allow location — stories unlock as you ride

    When you're near a landmark, a popup appears on the map. Tap to hear the story — your phone handles the timing.

  3. Hear the story, right on time

    No scrolling, no searching. Ambient sound and narration play for the stop you're passing.

$4SGD · one ride

A guided walking tour runs $30–40 and takes two hours. This is $4, uses a bus you're already taking, and takes 20 minutes.

No tour guide to keep pace with. No umbrella to follow through a crowd. Just the route, the stories, and a window seat.

From the window seat

What people say after the ride.

  • Hopped on the 111 with this in my browser — better than a hop-on-hop-off, and it cost four dollars.

    Emma Rodriguez

    Spain

  • I've taken this bus dozens of times. Never noticed how much history was right outside the window.

    Marcus Tan

    Singapore

  • Bought it at Orchard, had stories playing by the time we reached the bay. Felt like a smarter bus ride, not a tour.
