Contribution guidelines
The datasets do not publish showers, lockers, secure bike cages, staircases or blackspots. People who ride know where they are. This is what makes a submission useful and what happens to it.
What to submit
- End-of-trip facilities — showers, lockers, secure bicycle parking. Say which, and whether it is open to the public.
- Bicycle parking — a rack, cage or bay missing from the map, with approximate spaces and shelter if you know.
- Hazards — a surface, junction or stretch that is dangerous to ride. Describe the hazard, not the traffic in general.
- Network gaps — a staircase, barrier or missing link that breaks a route. These are the most useful contributions of all.
What makes it reviewable
- One observation per submission, placed at the point it describes.
- A name someone else can recognise: “Tampines MRT — secure bike cage”, not “bike thing”.
- Your own observation. Do not copy from another map, a business listing or a photo.
- No personal data about other people — no names, plates, phone numbers or photos of faces.
What review means
An operator checks that the point is plausible and the description is not advertising, abuse or a duplicate. Approval is a judgement, not a site visit: an approved point means someone found it credible, not that it was verified on the ground.
Contributions appear in the Community contributions layer once approved. Rejected points are not published; the reason is kept with the row.
Licence and privacy
You must tick the licence grant: it is what allows the point to be published and redistributed under the Singapore Open Data Licence. Without it the submission is refused.
Email is optional and only used for a reply. The submission’s IP is stored for abuse triage. See the privacy notice for retention and your rights.
Limits and removal
Ten submissions a minute per address. Repeat submissions that ignore these guidelines can be refused, and the form can be closed for everyone by the operator.
To have a contribution removed — yours or one that is wrong — contact the operator with the point and what should change. Removal is manual and recorded.
