SINGAPORE — In a novel move, a public transport operator has tied up with a car-sharing firm to offer commuters better first- and last-mile connections, such as commutes from MRT stations to homes.

On Feb 26, SBS Transit (SBST), Singapore's biggest public bus company that also operates the North East and Downtown MRT lines, signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with GetGo, a three-year-old car-sharing business with around 3,000 cars, to do just that.
