Public Buses Are Repurposed Into Fancy Rooms At This Glamorous Resort In Singapore
It's the first of its kind in Southeast Asia.
You can soon stay at Changi's new resort hotel with rooms made from repurposed public buses that once served the streets of Singapore

The rooms may look like any other hotel room, but they retain the original features of an actual bus — including the steering wheel, driver's seat, and windows. Perfect for those who are curious to find out what it's like to spend a night in a former mode of transportation.
