Just a moment...
This section is catered for the Buses side of things - signages and what not. A lot of focus has been given to the Train's side of things, so why not show the same love for the Buses' side of things too?
For the redesigns in this section, I'll be adopting my own design language and principles, based on the changes I proposed on the second page.
Let's take the newly opened Integrated Transport Hub (ITH) at Pasir Ris as an example. While it has already adopted the current wayfnding systems, the implementation, in my opinion, leaves much to be desired.
Firstly, for the Wayfinding Icons, I find them too cluttered as everything has been lumped together.

So I've decided, why not decouple the Exit signage from the other signages? Labels are also added for enhanced clarity.
Let's take a look at the Interchange Name signages implemented at the Pasir Ris ITH.

The design implemented here is very inconsistent and weird. The caplets were weirdly scaled, and the weird duplication of caplets (the yellow SG icon itself were used on the previous Design System, and the new Bus Icon were used on the new Design System) makes it look awkward.

Hence I've decided to redesign and make the design more consistent. As mentioned in the second page, I have decided to only stick with just the Dark Grey colour across all signages.
The MRT caplet on the current signage, (the one in blue) might confuse commuters. Usually, a blue coloured caplets meant that the MRT line it is bringing the commuters to, is the Downtown Line. To reduce confusion, I have decided to replace it with the MRT caplets (my redesigned version) shown on Station Entrances.
What about the older design language? Can I adopt the new designs too? Of course!
Same goal as before, I want to minimal texts but at the same time, the removed information must be compensated somewhere.

The design system used here is the ones designed by TDC. Hence, I will be switching over to the new design system, but using my changes.

The older design system lacked Overhead signages near/at the respective Exits. The new system already has these, as seen in Pasir Ris ITH. Hence, I'll be bringing those elements over to Choa Chu Kang Bus Int as well.
Introducing new Bus Route Diagrams Signages for key Bus Stops! (e.g. MRT
Stations, Hospitals etc). The route diagrams are here to help commuters visualize roughly the direction
of services.
For full route
details, commuters can refer to the Bus Services Board which lists down the whole Bus Stops.
