You might have wowed by the collections of our national museums – but have you thought of starting your own collection? Hear from Matthew Tay, Naz Farihin and other bus enthusiasts as they share more about their personal collections of items relating to public transport. From bus guides to signages from the yesteryears, there’s probably something that might catch your eye and bring that sense of nostalgia. Join us and take the chance to also reflect on how public transportation in Singapore has evolved over the years.

Matthew Tay

From a very young age, Matthew has always been interested in an everyday object that most of us would not even think much about – buses! That passion from young has shaped him to where he is today, pursuing a career related to his interest and putting his knowledge to good use. Oh, did we mention, he has a bus license too at just 23 years old!
