Following the earlier Trial of Luggage Racks on Bus Service 36 in 2025, the Land Transport Authority will be installing multi-tier luggage racks on 12 more MAN A22 buses, to be deployed on Bus Service 36.
These additional measures were revealed by a spokesperson for the Land Transport Authority, in response to inquiries from Lianhe Zaobao and subsequently featured in a news article by Zaobao.
Buses with luggage racks would be deployed at staggered intervals to ensure that every other bus is equipped with a luggage rack, accommodating the needs of passengers traveling to the airport and other wheelchair users.
In addition, the LTA spokesperson mentioned that there are currently no plans to install luggage racks on the 7 other public bus services serving Changi Airport. This is due to the routing of the other bus services which primarily serve residential areas and general community passengers with diverse travel needs. Currently, Service 36 sees a higher proportion of airport passengers and is the only service that directly connects Changi Airport and the city centre.

Why not also Luggage Racks on service 858. It’s also have many MAN A22 Buses.
Don’t just install Luggage Racks on route 36. Service 858 also had many MAN A22 buses. Can consider to install
on Service 858.
So these A22 E6 can carry 1 Wheelchair user instead of 2?
Frankly, when people take plane to and fro Changi Airport, they take MRT. Bus is honestly for people staying in the east and the north.
You are not considering the tourists who are staying in hotels in the Marina Centre/Orchard/Bras Basah area, and tourists staying in hotels in Katong. These people are the ones who are carrying the most luggage on 36, and the difficulties in storing luggage affects these groups the most.
not true, alot take directly to changi airport from city centfe.
Finally! Good to see a POSITIVE CHANGE to Service 36! This will be very convenient to travellers to Changi Airport, and other 36 commuters who do not need to deal with people lumbering with luggage. Now, they should label the buses with luggage racks as such on the bus ETA apps, like they do for WAB buses.
