Drop in sale of private properties

THE cooling measures are leaving their mark on the property market - and the latest developer sales data for the month of September seems to underline that.

Taking a bus - SG Bus Timing

I had to take a bus from the stop outside NTUC Income Center to Cricket Club. I find the signs at the bus stop quite confusing. I went up the first bus that is heading the right direction. It turned out to be the wrong bus. I stopped outside Clifford Pier. It was a long walk to the Cricket Club. This is the confusing state of the bus services in Singapore.

I found an application in my Android phone called SG Bus Timing. It has a useful feature that allow you to locate a bus stop along a road. I searched for Bras Basah and located the stop at NTUC Income Center. I also searched for Connaught Drive and located a stop near it. The matching numbers were 131 and 167. The application also show the time of arrival of the next bus.

The useful feature of this application is the ease of locating the nearest bus stop along a road and the bus services that use this stop.

Google Driverless Car

I am fascinated with the Google project to develop a driver-less car. It uses technology to drive the car and is safer than being driven by a person. I believe that there is big potential for this driver-less car to be used like a taxi.

Imagine, You use a mobile phone to book for a driver-less car nearby. It comes to your location. You enter the place you want to go. It brings you there. The car is then available to be used by another commuter.
