This mobile app is a community-based, crowd-sourcing platform for express bus commuters. It aims to reduce the number of accidents among express buses as well as provide critical information to commuters on estimated time of arrival, location of the bus and which bus operators are safe. It also alerts its users if the bus is violating speed limits. That way, they’ll have a safer commuting experience, especially for long distance journeys. All you have to do is install the free app, key in the perimeters – bus operator, bus registration number and destination – and it starts tracking.

This video streaming platform enables musicians to connect with their fans and to reach out to a larger audience through live performances, shows and competitions.

Co-founder of FlowCastv, Henry Chew, 24, hopes that this app will motivate artistes to make music, release albums, and most importantly, realise the potential in the local music industry.
