Channel NewsAsia - Digital Tools Help Bus Operators Cut Incidents and Improve Driving Behavior

Channel NewsAsia's - independent report- "Digital tools help bus operator cut accidents, bad driving habits" Singapore's bus operators Tower Transit and Go-Ahead are sharing their success with GreenRoad's technology. By Kenneth Lim June 29, 2017 SINGAPORE: After adopting GreenRoad’s Drive app to track and assess driving behaviour, public bus operator Tower Transit said it has halved the number of “incidents” its bus drivers are involved in. Tower Transit said it has been using GreenRoad in Singapore since July 2016, after using it for about five years in London.“Having seen the scores we’re getting from our BCs (bus captains) here in Singapore just over the course of the last year, which are now doing better than those scores we’ve seen previously in London – that’s been really, really pleasing,” Tower Transit’s operations director Stuart Thomas said. A few weeks ago, operator Go-Ahead Singapore too, adopted the same GreenRoad’s fleet safety software, in which drivers are assessed on braking, speeding, accelerating, distracted driving, cornering and lane changing behavior and safe drivers are given monetary rewards. Go-Ahead Singapore’s chief operating officer Andrew Edwards added that GreenRoad was also good for the environment. “We can see where our idling hot spots are, and coach our bus captains to turn our engines off when they’re not actually using the vehicles,” he said.
