Written Reply by Minister for Transport Khaw Boon Wan to Parliamentary Question on Proposal for More Bus Stops with Cantilever Shelters

5 February 2018

This article has been migrated from an earlier version of the site and may display formatting inconsistencies.

Mr Chong Kee Hiong asked the Minister for Transport 

a.     what is the current percentage of bus stops with cantilever shelters; and

b.     whether the Ministry will consider constructing more of such bus stops to protect passengers boarding and alighting from the buses during raining periods.

Reply by Minister for Transport Khaw Boon Wan:

1.     Out of a total of 4,900 bus stops in Singapore, there are currently 74 which have cantilever shelters.  It is not cost effective to build all bus stops with such shelters and we have given priority to bus stops which are heavily used, especially those connected to MRT stations.  More than a quarter of the bus stops at MRT stations have cantilever shelters. Where space permits, more such shelters will be built for heavily utilised bus-stops.
