The first BYD J6 Autonomous Bus for the Autonomous Bus Pilot has arrived in Singapore.
In a reel released by the Land Transport Authority on 25 March 2026, one BYD J6 is seen being unloaded from the vehicle carrier Hyperion Leader.
The bus is decked out in the lush green SG Bus livery, featuring 1 wheelchair bay and 16 seats comprising 5 red priority seats and 11 regular blue seats.
Six of these buses have been procured, and are expected to begin trials on public bus services 400 and 191 from mid-2026 for an initial period of three years.
Apart from 191 & 400, other services that can deploy this are 825 (which does need an upgrade in capacity from the C6, even A22 E5’s can look filled at times), 405 (varies), 156 (weekends/ph), 138M, 200 (weekends/ph), 91 (weekends/ph).
401 403 has moderate demand, enough to overfill a minibus so it probably cant trial here. Similar to 42, which gets completely crowded during school days.
I don’t think it can be added to 405 considering the bus I took on Good Friday was already kinda crowded for a MAN A22
