Written Reply to Parliamentary Question on Extension of Incentives for Off-Peak Travelling and Switching to Selected Bus Services Beyond North East MRT Line Regions

Mr Liang Eng Hwa asked the Minister for Transport whether the incentives to encourage commuters to avoid travelling during the morning peak period or switching to selected bus services can be extended to beyond the North East Line region such as the Downtown Line.

Reply by Minister for Transport Chee Hong Tat:

1.     The Travel Smart Journeys initiative was recently enhanced on 2 January 2025, focusing on certain stations along the North East Line. The Land Transport Authority will monitor the outcomes to assess its effectiveness before deciding whether to extend the initiative to other rail lines.
