As the more than 450 buses in Go-Ahead Singapore’s fleet return after service, the bus operator’s maintenance crew goes to work checking the vehicles so they are fit for use the next day. About 15 to 20 buses are inspected head-to-toe daily as part of a 28-day maintenance cycle – a process that would have previously involved tasks such as manually checking the air pressure of each tyre, and manually recording mileage readings. But a vehicle health monitoring system installed across Go-Ahead’s fleet last year has eliminated the need for such menial work.
