Who is iCOMmuter? “iCOMmuter” stands for “Intelligent Commuter”. iCOMmuters are people from all walks of life who have decided to make a change to their daily unsatisfactory way of commuting. They decided to join the iCOMmunity.
Why are they “Intelligent”? They understand that Time is a scarce resource. They value their Health and Well-being. They know that Mother Earth is ill and her condition is getting worse day by day. Now that they have a choice, they made the switch. Read on to know more.

Reduce Carbon Emission Each year, the average car emits about 4500 kg (three times its weight!) in carbon dioxide pollution, which is a leading cause of global warming. By moving groups of commuters with similar origin-destination requirements in a coach, iCOM plans a customised route which minimises mileage per passenger, thus minimising carbon emission contributed by each commuter. Let’s do our part in ensuring a better Earth for our future generations.
Convert Your Wasted Time to Useful Time Time was wasted on waiting for your public bus to arrive, standing onboard crowded bus or MRT, transferring from bus to MRT, waiting for an unoccupied taxi, and even driving. Let us take care of your traveling and you be chauffeured. At the pre-arranged time and place, get on your iCOM coach and from then till you get off, all the time is fully yours to make use. You can sleep if you feel tired, read your book, play on your PSP or Nintendo DS, type your documents, in fact, do whatever you want. That can be quite a number of hours converted per week!
Minimise Inhaling of Exhaust Waiting for buses in bus-stops and hailing taxis beside roads expose us to a lot of vehicle exhaust. Inhaling vehicle exhaust is just like breathing in a lung-full of potentially cancer-causing toxins. Researchers found that children that lived in close proximity to vehicle exhaust “hotspots,” (i.e. transportation hubs) can suffer as much as a 12-fold increased risk of developing cancer…Now with iCOM’s pre-arranged pick-up time, you minimise the damage to your body.
No More Anxiety Build-Up Everyday when we commute, we experience some form of combat. People are experiencing more congestion and we know that's stressful, be it taking public transport or driving.
It is discovered that our blood pressures rise in proportion to how far we travel to work -- the longer the commute, the higher the blood pressure. This kind of daily, repetitive stress could lead to chronic hypertension… Now with iCOM service, you can relax.
No More Carrying Big Bags Large bags are commonly carried by commuters. However, beware the size of your bag. It allows you to overload your back, neck and shoulders. Carrying a bag more than 10 percent of your body weight leaves you open for problems such as muscle spasms, slipped disks and herniations. One way to beat the pain is to make sure you alternate the side you carry your bag on. Alternating will help distribute the stress more evenly. Or simply, come onboard iCOM! We have a guaranteed seat for you and definitely space for your big bags.
Attention Ladies!!! Stepping out in high heels may make you look great but do you know what those high heels will do to your body if you keep walking or standing on them? Having a 3 or 5-inch heels with throw out your spine alignment and cause you to put more stress on your hips and your low back. Try to alternate wearing high heels with shoes that conform to the natural arch of your foot. Another way is to use our iCOM service. We minimise the need to stand and walk long distances with a guaranteed seat and customised pickup and drop-off points.
