Original and authentic videos of elevators, escalators, buses, and trains in Uniquely Singapore, a country in Asia where the East meets the West! Presenting to you one of the largest collection of buses, railways, and elevator videos in SE Asia, with new videos published daily. Welcome onboard the official video channel for SGBuses.com, an independent hobby channel.
In a surveillance state constantly being filled with FTs, its citizens driven by fear, where its future and progress won't wait for the past urban transport heritage, it is hoped that some of these public transport recordings would document the urban history of Singapore in some form before they eventually disappear altogether.
I'd prefer to let the videos speak for themselves; Almost all of the recordings are raw, authentic, unedited footage. The collection of lift, escalator, bus, and train videos have since expanded overseas. If you have enjoyed my transportation videos, please subscribe to receive the latest uploads!

There are so many bus, train, elevator and escalator photos and videos that are increasingly being lost to time due to Internet decay. When I first started filming on this channel, I never expected that it will become a way to fight against the tide of time and history.
To all 18,000 subscribers of this channel, a massive thank you for your amazing and continued support. The flow of new videos and photos will keep coming as transport continues to evolve.

The current state of affairs of the Internet today is just plain sad, when online services are ens#!ttified to the point that Office Clippy actually becomes a positive form of nostalgia.
Especially the part about comments getting filtered for no apparent reason but spam gets through unhindered.

To all Singapore bus enthusiasts, I have a request. Please start filming any Volvo B9TL on any of your favourite services. Any service, any operator is fine.
It's a taken for granted bus model because it's so ubiquitous. I've checked my own archive and realized that the model was severely underfilmed. If that can happen to me, the same can happen for for everyone else.
Two years will fly by very quickly and the first batch of WEG2 B9TLs come up for retirement.
There's a very good chance that whatever you film now will be your childhood bus memories.
So please go out there and film the first B9TL that you can get a ride on or on your regular trip home.

If you are not seeing my comments or replies, you are not being ignored. I am being timed out by the comment algo overlords. That might take a week, month, or longer.

I've just managed to work through old brand elevators Westinghouse, Marryat and Scott, Thames Valley Controls, Hyundai, and 9G Elevator for the elevator and escalator model identification project.
Excuse my tardiness in uploading stuff - there's quite a lot (thousands) in my to-do list to work through.
An interesting point about the photo below - It's an early Mitsubishi NEXCUBE MRL, but if the year installed is the same as Haneda Terminal 2's year of opening then the date don't add up as the MRL variant wasn't formally introduced until a few years later. So either it's a prototype or it was installed later. Any suggestions for this elevator?

@輝源氏 It took me forever to find it, but it's buried deep in the "Internet Archives". YouTube automatically rejects any links posted, so I can only say to search "new space saving escalator" of the Mitsubishi Elevator webpage between 2008 and 2012 in the "Internet Archives" and look out for the section that says "less than 7000mm elevation" and "7001mm elevation and above".
(見つけるのにものすごく時間がかかりましたが、「インターネットアーカイブ」の奥深くに埋もれています。YouTubeはリンクを自動的に拒否するので、「インターネットアーカイブ」で2008年から2012年までの三菱エレベーターのウェブページで「新型省スペースエスカレーター」を検索し、「標高7000mm未満」と「標高7001mm以上」というセクションを探すしかありません。)
