In the Spotlight

The students from Pathlight School were excited as they alighted from the buses at SG Mobility Gallery. They were about to discover more about our land transport system. The SG Mobility Gallery housed within the Land Transport Authority (LTA) Headquarters provides a behind-the-scenes look at how LTA plans, designs and builds our public transport network.

What made the visit even more special was our Caring Commuter Champions gave time to act as gallery “guides”, bringing students around the various exhibition zones and explaining the many features of our land transport system.

This was the first time most of our champions stepped into the role of a gallery guide. In order to familiarise themselves with the layout and content of the various exhibitions, they attended an orientation of the gallery prior to the tour to ensure they were well equipped with the relevant information.

The students were thrilled to take part in the activities and games at the many zones, role playing as a transport planner or a public transport worker through augmented reality and virtual reality. They asked many questions about the land transport system and some even shared their in-depth knowledge about buses and trains!

Our Champions thought that the learning journey with the students was fruitful, and felt a big sense of fulfilment when they observed how the students had enjoyed themselves thoroughly.
