A waste of time and money

We spent most of the time waiting around for the buses. The ticketing process was stressful as I had the ticket with a QR code in my Google wallet, but the drivers kept asking me for another form of ticket, which I didn't have. They seemed very stressed and rude. We could have spent a lot less money on the MT system or taxis and got around much more efficiently.

Operator response

Dear Alan B, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. To clarify, the QR code stored in your Google Wallet serves as a voucher and must first be activated either as a digital ticket in the Big Bus app or exchanged for a paper ticket before boarding. Unfortunately, the QR code alone cannot be used directly on the buses, which is why our drivers requested an activated ticket. We understand that this may have caused confusion and frustration, and we will continue working to make this process clearer for our guests. We also recommend using the Big Bus app during your visit, as it provides real-time bus tracking information so guests can see when the next bus is expected to arrive and better plan their day. Thank you for taking the time to share your comments. We value all feedback and will review your concerns with our team, particularly regarding the service experience you received. Your Big Bus Singapore Team

BigBus Singapore is Bad

This BigBus was terrible. We have used this service all over the world and this is the first time it was bad. We rode multiple buses with BigBus Singapore and they were all the same. The bottom (air conditioned) level of the bus had limited seats so many people had to stand. No one wanted to go to the top level (where there were seats) because it was not air conditioned. We have never seen a bus with so few seats in the air conditioned area. The drivers appeared to be under pressure to keep to their schedule (no small task in the Singapore traffic). The drivers quickly left each stop before the passengers had a chance to be seated or even grab a handhold. We observed several passengers almost falling. A very unsafe operation. Several times the drivers bypassed stops apparently because they were running late or were in the wrong lane to make it to the stop.

Operator response

Dear Rakkasan2011, We are sorry to hear about your recent experience with Big Bus Tours in Singapore. We aim to provide the best sightseeing experience possible, but sadly this was not the case for you. We strive to offer a unique and enjoyable experience for all our guests. Please note that our buses stop only at selected bus stops along the route and do not call at every bus stop. To help us investigate this incident further, please email us at infosg@bigbustours.com with your date of travel, order number, as well as the approximate time and location of the incident. This information will allow us to review the relevant CCTV footage and conduct a thorough investigation. Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention, and we look forward to hearing from you.

Big Bus ride

The ride lasted 1.5 hours, comfortable . It’s a good way to explore the city. The app most be downloaded to activate the ticket (on the day of the ride) and to check pick up locations.

Absolutely worth while...

Absolutely worth while doing the hop on off bus tour red and yellow routes. Do a full loop of both and then decide where you want to go.
