Gone are the days when "sleeping in the bus" meant leaning your head against a grimy window and subjecting your body to a blend of jolts and drops.
The Bus Collective is a new resort in the heart of Changi Village and, as its name suggests, comprises buses that have been repurposed into luxury suites. Bookings for stays from Dec 1 are now open.

There are 20 guest suites at The Bus Collective – each putting the term "glow-up" to shame with their blend of aesthetically pleasing features including marble tops and rain showers.

Room rates start from S$398, inclusive of breakfast. There are multiple room configurations, with some rooms even offering lavish bathtubs. You can view the rooms and make your bookings via The Bus Collective's official website.
