A childhood fascination with buses led to this transport-themed shop
As a child, Danial Sim, 28, dreamt of driving a bus and would sit behind the driver, imagining himself at the wheel.
That childhood dream came full circle when he opened transport-themed store Tap Space at Burlington Square.
Before the physical shop opened in Jan 2026, Sim sold his merch online and through pop-up stores.
The die-cast buses come in different designs, from old buses with sliding windows and no air-conditioning to today’s green electric ones.
Beyond die-cast buses, he also sells miniature MRT trains, SCDF fire engines and police cars.
There are also keychains of every MRT station, neatly arranged by train lines.
The station names come in three languages and customers often buy these to help elderly family members identify their stop when travelling alone.
Other items include life-sized MRT handrail keychains, miniature card reader scanners and other transport-themed knick-knacks.
