Hi all, I'm the guy behind SG Bus, a Singapore bus arrival app. Full disclosure: I own the app, so yes this is self-promo lah. Mods, if this kind of post not allowed, feel free to delete, no hard feelings 🙏

Since the old NUS NextBus app kena retired in May and everything moved into uNivUS, checking when the next ISB is coming has been quite troublesome, and from the reviews I think a lot of you feel the same.

So we finally added NUS Shuttle into SG Bus:

• Live ISB arrivals for every stop on campus
• Shuttles and public buses on the same screen, so at Kent Ridge MRT you can see whether the shuttle or the 95 comes first
• Tap a shuttle to see its full route from your stop
• Pin the stops you use every day
• No NUS login, no account needed

As far as I know, it's the first Singapore bus app that puts the NUS shuttles and the public buses together in one place.

Everything is free, including the NUS shuttle, and nothing is locked behind payment. There's ads to keep the servers running. If the ads really bother you, you can remove them with a one-time "buy me a coffee" from about SGD 10. Ya I know, quite ex for a student budget 😅 so treat it as a support-the-dev thing, totally optional. The free version has everything.

Shuttle timings come from NUS's own feed, so if it's off, the source is off too. Got bugs, wrong stop names, or features you want? Comment here or email hello@sgbus.app.

Thanks and jiayou for the semester! 🚌

Im hoping to go to NUS next year and trying to decide on my major. I'm stuck between CS and computer engineering. My interests lie ai/ml, robotics/electronics, and quant finance.

My main goal is probs quant but I want to choose the majors that will allow me to do all of those. Also would there be better major options for me.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

anyone else feels absolutely cooked by this mod… even some of the mcqs are so tricky and the time constraint is insane… even some of my smart friends couldn’t finish it. how much do u need to score to get b+/a- for this mod?

one of the most atrocious papers ever out of all the past year papers. i genuinely think i’m gna retake this module next sem 🤡🤡🤡

Remarks:

• Meant to be illustrative - there's a lot of nuance missing in the individual faculties (eg. inside NUS business - bach of biz admin with and w/o honours is 6k VS 4.8K for 2025
• NUS degrees change over time - I've had to make some exclusions/assumptions
• Dentistry has actually grown the slowest → slower than inflation in fact
• For context - the median gross income for full-time residents in Singapore is $5,775
• Tech gravy train over ❓

Data notes:

• Data is median of medians (ie. Computing's median is 6,000 for 2025)
  • 4 degrees represented under School of Computing for 2025
    • Median of the following 4 values: 6400, 6000, 6000, 5700 → 6000
• College of Design and Engineering was previously Faculty of Engineering
• Excluded Law, Music and YNC to reduce cognitive overload
• Using gross median salary. For context:
  • Basic is fixed base pay only
  • Gross is basic plus overtime, commissions, fixed allowances and other regular cash payments

if i apply with my AS grades and a-level predicted grades (M/J session) alongside 3 APS and SAT, would i be at a disadvantage compared to those who would have finished their a levels during oct-nov and can submit their actual grade?
