Proposed Bus Frequency of 10-Minute Intervals During Peak and 15-minute Intervals During Non-Peak Periods for Estates Not Otherwise Linked to Major Transport Nodes

Buses

6 May 2026

Written Reply to Parliamentary Question 

Mr Gerald Giam Yean Song asked the Acting Minister for Transport 

a.    what are the Ministry’s targets to ensure that bus services with no alternative routes to major transport nodes, such as Service 228, do not exceed scheduled intervals of 10 minutes during peak and 15 minutes during non-peak periods; and

b.    how does the Ministry identify and prioritise such essential feeder services for frequency enhancements.

Reply by Acting Minister for Transport Jeffrey Siow: 

1.     All feeder services are scheduled to operate at intervals of no more than eight minutes during peak periods, once operations have stabilised. During non-peak periods, the intervals are periodically adjusted based on ridership data and feedback. The Land Transport Authority (LTA) tracks arrival timing of buses at bus stops against expected intervals, and bus operators are penalised for poor reliability.
