The Challenge
Some say radio is a dying medium, but MediaCorp, Singapore's largest radio network, believes otherwise. In fact, MediaCorp and all 13 of its stations believe radio can still be a leading medium in everyday life e.g. drivetime. The challenge: reaffirm radio’s position as the leading medium of the road.
The Insight
To prove that radio is the king of the road, we looked at how the king can help its people. The problem: in the last three years, Singapore roads saw a 200% increase in accidents involving cyclists, but despite that, there are no plans to build bike lanes to protect cyclists.
The Results
Radio Bike Lane was launched in partnership with Singapore’s largest cycling association. Initial user feedback indicated that 68% of cyclists feel safer using the Radio Bike Lane. These Users have also noted that there is a 34% increase in drivers giving them a wider berth on the roads. After only two months of public release, it is too early to tell Radio Bike Lane's impact of reducing accidents involving cyclists.
