MAN Lion’s City DD L Concept Bus (SG5999Z) – Passenger Information Display System (PIDS) on Upper Deck (Front)
The Passenger Information Display System (PIDS) is capable of displaying real-time information on the next bus-stop along its route, integrated with bus stop announcements. While the system was not fully operational at launch (13 March 2017), the system was configured to display bus stops in sequence with as of 31 March 2017 without any announcements.

Stickers
For the purposes of the Tower Transit trial, floor stickers were put in place to assist in guiding commuters around the bus. Additional stickers scattered throughout the bus interior inform commuters about various aspects of the bus design, including information tidbits and special features.
Many of the signs are captioned in Singlish to attract attention but are accompanied with descriptions in Queen’s English. The use of Singlish was a minor talking point among Singaporeans, with some praising the lighter side of it, while others criticising the use of Singlish in such a setting.
As of SBS Transit operations (April 2018), the promotional stickers around the bus have been removed.
