Written Reply to Parliamentary Question
Mr Edward Chia Bing Hui asked the Minister for Transport
a. whether the Land Transport Authority will publish real-time LRT arrival data via public apps or DataMall specifically during off-peak hours and weekends when train frequencies are lower; and
b. whether the Ministry can provide an update on any technical limitations preventing a time-restricted or line-specific data release.
Reply by Minister for Transport Jeffrey Siow
1. The Land Transport Authority (LTA) does not plan to provide real-time LRT arrival data through public applications or DataMall, as LRT trains operate at short and consistent intervals even during off-peak hours and weekends.
