Oral Reply by Senior Parliamentary Secretary for Transport Baey Yam Keng to Parliamentary Question on Bus Services in Fernvale

Mr Gan Thiam Poh asked the Minister for Transport whether the Ministry will consider more bus services to be introduced for Fernvale in view of the increase in the number of HDB flats and the pending completion of the LRT system upgrade.

Reply by Senior Parliamentary Secretary Baey Yam Keng:

1.     Besides the LRT, residents at Fernvale are currently served by bus services that connect them to the transport hub at Sengkang town centre, and to other areas like Ang Mo Kio, Serangoon, Upper Thomson, and Yishun. Additionally, City Direct Service 671 provides a direct connection from Fernvale to and from the city during the morning and evening peak periods.

2.     LTA makes enhancements to bus connectivity in tandem with new housing developments. For example, we adjusted the route of Service 102, and increased its capacity to serve the recently completed Fernvale Glades and Fernvale Woods BTO projects.
