The bus sports a host of innovative features, such as an exhibit area and an information technology section, along with a lecture centre, a simulated driving and road environment, and facilities for people with disabilities.

The Police started making use of a road safety bus in the 1970s.

In 2001, a design competition was also organised to make the bus an even more appealing tool for public education. It drew more than 2,300 entries from primary and secondary school students.

Winners of the best bus body design competition received prizes at the carnival. Their creative ideas were included in the bus' final design, and the works of all participants were put on display.
