How this atlas is made · What “last verified” means · What “source-checked” means · The full record behind this page
The point is what the resident never has to work out: which of 10 agencies or 17 town councils owns the broken thing. A municipal office routes every case itself, and has done since January 2015.
what does this mean?
The strongest source is the operator's or the city's own reporting — an official report, dataset or press release. It grades who did the looking — not how well the project went.

OneService lets Singapore residents report municipal issues — littering, pests, faulty facilities, illegal parking — via photo and location, without identifying which government agency or town council is responsible; the app routes each case automatically. Live since January 2015, it added an AI chatbot on WhatsApp and Telegram in 2021; in 2026 a voice-message beta, Tell Us @ OneService, is being trialled on both.
📊 Impact
After the Municipal Services Office linked the feedback systems of 11 agencies and 16 town councils, the average time to close 90% of complex multi-agency cases fell from 16 working days at end-2015 to 11 by end-2017 (MSO figures, reported by the Centre for Liveable Cities). The pooled data also led to action: an analysis tying stray-dog complaints to construction sites prompted the veterinary authority and HDB to trap dogs around site clearance.
🎓 Lesson
The citizen-facing app was the smaller half of the work: what shortened multi-agency cases was a back-end system that tracks every case across agencies and alerts any agency that has not accepted one within five working days. A reporting app without that shared tracking only moves the question of who is responsible from the resident to the officer.
