Written Reply to Parliamentary Question

Mr Pritam Singh asked the Acting Minister for Transport whether the Ministry will consider expanding the criteria that govern the outfitting of existing Pedestrian Overhead Bridges (POBs) with lifts to POBs located near hawker centres, in view of the importance of hawker centres as a node of the community.

Reply by Acting Minister for Transport Jeffrey Siow:

1.     The Land Transport Authority (LTA) already prioritises the installation of lifts at pedestrian overhead bridges (POBs) with high footfall and serve more seniors. These POBs are typically near key transport nodes and amenities like hawker centres.
