Roads with Three or More Lanes in Each Direction that Do Not Have Bus Lanes

Written Reply to Parliamentary Question

Mr Fadli Fawzi asked the Acting Minister for Transport

a.     what is the proportion of roads in Singapore with three or more lanes in each direction that do not currently have bus lanes;

b.     whether the Government has any plans to reduce this proportion; and 

c.     if not, why not.

Reply by Acting Minister for Transport Jeffrey Siow:

1.     About 80% of such roads do not have bus lanes today. We expect to decrease this to prioritise public transport and reduce public transport journey times for commuters.
