Mr Shawn Huang Wei Zhong asked the Minister for Transport what are the transportation infrastructure plans to support the build-up of Tuas Mega Port and increased business activities in Tuas.

Reply by Senior Minister of State for Transport Chee Hong Tat

1.     LTA and agencies have been monitoring the pace of developments in the Tuas area, including the plan for the build-up of operations at Tuas Port up till the 2040s when it will become fully operational. To support the expected increase in travel demand to the area, LTA has been progressively expanding transport provisions.

2.     In 2017, LTA completed the Tuas West Extension by adding four MRT stations to the East-West Line. This has brought about significant time savings for commuters travelling to the Tuas area. LTA also introduced two new public bus services 247 and 248 to enhance transport connectivity in the Tuas and Tuas South region. Tuas Road Viaduct Phase 1, which improves accessibility to Tuas South and Tuas Port, has also been completed.

3.     The completion of the Jurong Region Line by the second half of this decade will also significantly improve connectivity in the Western region and benefit workers.

4.     LTA and MPA have also worked with PSA to expand the coverage of their employee shuttle services to complement the public bus network.

5.     Agencies will continue to monitor the travel demand, review the adequacy of transport provisions, and engage key stakeholders of the area, such as PSA and the unions.
