What has NTUSU done to improve the campus transportation system?
NTUSU and Housing and Auxiliary Services (HAS) have been consistently working together to improve the transportation services on campus. Such efforts include:
- Review of NTU’s Campus Transport System for changes to be implemented to the system (i.e adding more buses, improving the quality of service, reducing bunching and increasing information)
- Express shuttle bus services to alleviate hotspots
- Regular meetings with HAS and presentation of feedback on campus transportation from students
- Daily analysis and monitoring to alleviate bunching of buses
- Additional sanitation measures (i.e daily disinfecting) for shuttle buses, in light of the COVID-19 situation
It is an ongoing effort between NTUSU and HAS to improve the transportation services on campus, thus we hope to seek your understanding and patience in this matter.
For the full Transport Services Report, visit our website www.ntusu.org or our Instagram (@ntu.su) for the highlights.

Removal of chairs in canteens
NTUSU understands that all canteens have had chairs removed to prevent students from dining at the canteens effective this afternoon.
To our understanding, this decision was made following NEA’s inspection of NTU canteens earlier this morning and is part of social distancing efforts to ensure the health and safety of all Union Members and the NTU community.
As fellow students, we comprehend the inconveniences this measure may bring. NTUSU had not been consulted on this implementation, but recognises that these measures were made with the best intentions to achieve social distancing purposes. We are currently working with HAS to mitigate issues that have stemmed from these changes.
In the meantime, we thank students for your understanding and cooperation on this matter. We encourage students to continue practicing social responsibility, and support social distancing measures across all activities. Should you have any concerns, please write to us at su-feedback@e.ntu.edu.sg.

NTUSU supports all students: Aid for students affected by trip suspension
NTUSU understands the challenges faced by students who had their overseas programmes suspended in view of the COVID-19 situation. We have been working closely with the University Management to ensure that these students are equitably supported.
1. Reimbursements
- Upon taking NTUSU's feedback into consideration, the University will be reviewing claims of students regarding additional essential expenses incurred due to having to cut short their overseas programme (i.e costs for change in flight bookings or cancellation fees, visa fees, and accommodation)
- Procedures and FAQs will be provided shortly
2. Academic
- Arrangements will be made for students who are unable to complete credit transfer due to the trip suspension
- Students are advised to review study plans with their faculties and explore possible course options for special terms and AY20/21 Semester
- This is to cushion the impact of the disruption and prevent delay in graduation
