What brand is that bus? Is it a BYD electric bus?

The BYD B12 is an electric single-deck city bus offered by Chinese bus manufacturer BYD Auto Industry (比亞迪). As of 2023, it is BYD’s flagship electric city bus, superseding the highly successful BYD K9.

BYD is supplying 300 units of BYD B12 buses (registered as BYD BC12A04 for this sub-type) to the Land Transport Authority (LTA) under Contract PT601A. This comprised an initial tender award for 240 units in November 2023, and a LTA-exercised option for 60 more units announced in October 2024.

Singapore is rapidly adopting SBS Transit electric buses as part of a major push to decarbonize public transport, with 660 new electric buses (including 300 double-deckers) to be deployed from late-2026. These quiet, eco-friendly buses feature 3-door, 2-staircase designs, advanced safety systems, and are replacing older diesel models to create a greener, more comfortable commute.

Key Details on Electric Bus Rollout:

• Deployment Schedule: Following the initial 420 electric buses launched in 2024, a further 660 units will be introduced starting late-2026.
• Bus Models: The fleet includes 360 single-deck and 300 double-deck buses from manufacturers like BYD and Zhongtong, featuring 3-door designs with two staircases for efficient boarding.
• Features & Safety: These buses are equipped with passenger information displays (audio/visual), on-board surveillance cameras, collision warning systems, and driver anti-fatigue monitoring.
• Accessibility Improvements: Following feedback, LTA is modifying the step heights on some new single-deck electric buses from 33cm to 23cm to enhance safety for elderly commuters.
• Charging Infrastructure: SBS Transit and Facebook utilize high-powered, smart charging systems in depots.
