Design Solution 1

Solution 1

1. Flats are built shorter in terms of length such that the lift can be located in the center and elderly do not have to walk far.
2. Eateries, clinics, convenience stores are located at void decks or 2nd to 3rd levels of the blocks for convenience.
3. A garden in the middle for the elderly to spend some time outdoors.
4. The interchange is a MRT station and has shuttle buses to aid elderly to travel outside of the town.
5. A supermarket and some shops will be located at the interchange.
6. Link bridges with shelter to allow elderly to travel within blocks to enhance interconnectedness of town.
   
   To consider: Underground carparks for visitors/residences.

Solution 2

1. Larger signboards to show bus number.
2. Replaced with ramp instead of stairs with built in handicapped ramps.
3. Different colour/design to help elderly differentiate the buses easily.
4. Wider and bigger/longer bus to contain more seats.
5. No steps inside, more railings for elderly to hold on to.
6. Emergency buttons in bus.
7. Stop buttons located strategically to make it easier for elderly to press it to alight. Placed within reach and without them having to move out of their seats before the bus stops as it's dangerous for elderly to get off their seats before the bus stops as the bus might come to a stop suddenly.
