The company said that if feedback is positive, ComfortConnect will be its sixth direct bus service. On-demand bus services have been launched by CDG’s sister company in Australia, CDC NSW, at Woolgoolga and Greater Western Sydney.

The on-demand bus service, which began its three-month trial on 15 August, operates from Mondays to Fridays between 10 AM and 4 PM, and serves a total of 16 physical and virtual stops, including the majority of the condominiums in the Tanjong Rhu/Meyer Road area, Parkway Parade, the Singapore Swimming Club as well as Dunman High School (Annex A).

CDG confirmed that the bus will complete the ride even if there is only a single booking.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
