Written Reply to Parliamentary Question

Ms Diana Pang Li Yen asked the Minister for Transport

a.          whether the Ministry will explore a pilot scheme allowing pets on buses and trains under rules like enclosed carriers, size caps, and hygiene standards; and

b.           whether the study will refer to overseas models and existing pet-friendly services by taxi and private hire operators.

Reply by Minister for Transport Jeffrey Siow:

1.          As part of the ongoing Land Transport Masterplan (LTMP) 2040 refresh, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) will be engaging the public on whether and under what conditions pets should be allowed on public transport, bearing in mind commuter preferences, safety, hygiene, and noise concerns. In the meantime, pet owners have the option of using pet-friendly rides offered by ride-hailing platforms.
