"Media Coverage" Brunei Signing Ceremony

On December 3rd, we have already informed you that the signing ceremony for the Brunei Bus Digitalization Project, with Zenmov serving as the lead company, took place in Bandar Seri Begawan, the capital of Brunei. This time, we would like to introduce media coverage in Brunei.

The commencement of public transport projects in Brunei is groundbreaking, and the signing ceremony was widely reported on television and in newspapers.

Brunei's national broadcaster RTB detailed the signing ceremony in the news on December 3rd (https://www.rtbnews.rtb.gov.bn/Lists/News%202018/NewDispForm.aspx?ID=33922)

The Brunei newspaper 'Borneo Bulletin' reported on the signing ceremony the day after it took place (https://borneobulletin.com.bn/en-route-to-improved-bus-services-2/, dated December 4, 2022) (Figure 10), and the following week, it published a commentary article on this project (https://borneobulletin.com.bn/a-smooth-ride/, dated December 8, 2022) (Figure 11).

The commentary article quoted Tanaka from Zenmov, stating, "To promote the digitalization of buses in Bandar Seri Begawan, we visited over 800 bus stops to confirm their exact locations, provided explanations of Zenmov's traffic management system SMOC that will be implemented by the bus company, and conducted training for drivers. The project is progressing smoothly. This pilot operation is the first phase, and we aim to build a unique bus operation system suitable for Brunei going forward."

The title of the commentary article simply stated "A smooth ride," which is also what Zenmov aims for in its bus digitalization project.
