- SWAT picks up different commuters along the way without affecting the ETA of anyone onboard.

What does this mean for you?

- You have to walk a short distance (<300 meters) to your pre-designated pickup spots to help optimise travelling time. Please bear this in mind as you plan your morning commute.

- There are 5 types of pick up spots: bus stops, taxi stands, lamp posts, petrol kiosks, and landmarks.

- Bus stops, taxi stands, and lamp posts are identified by specific numbers. For e.g. bus stop #42914 and lamp post #17.

- Petrol kiosks and landmarks are identified by street addresses.

What to expect?

- We will provide you an estimated time of arrival (ETA) for your journey and we promise that this will not change under normal road conditions.

- Your travelling time will be slightly longer than if you took a taxi but no more than 10 minutes.

- The actual time might vary depending on road conditions - we have no control over traffic jams due to accidents or vehicle breakdowns.

- The price will be a flat fee of $5.00 regardless of distance.

- Swatmobile will wait for 1 minute at the pick up location - not more not less. Please be punctual and avoid missing Swatmobile.
