Plans to Improve Public Transport Connectivity and Ensure Affordability of Alternative Transportation for Estates Located Away from Public Transport Nodes

Sectors

Written Reply to Parliamentary Question 

Mr Alex Yeo asked the Acting Minister for Transport

a.      whether LTA has plans to improve public transport connectivity for estates located further away from public transport nodes, such as the Joo Seng estate, where narrow local roads limit the deployment of regular public bus services; and

b.      whether LTA will ensure that when considering alternative shuttle services, such as autonomous vehicle options, these options will remain affordable.

Reply by Acting Minister for Transport Jeffrey Siow: 

1.      Bus stops are generally provided within 400m of the Housing and Development Board estates to provide connectivity to transport nodes and amenities. Joo Seng residents can access Services 100, 135, and 155 from bus stops along Upper Aljunied Road, to connect to MRT stations and amenities. The Land Transport Authority will study options to improve connectivity for residents who live more than 400m away from their nearest bus stop, including future autonomous vehicle services.
