Written Reply to Parliamentary Question on Increasing Bus Services for Residents Living in New HDB BTO Project at Rivervale Shores

Mr Chua Kheng Wee Louis asked the Minister for Transport with the recent completion of the new HDB BTO project at Rivervale Shores, whether there will be an increase in bus services available for residents living in and within the vicinity of the project to meet higher bus ridership and provide better transport connectivity.

Reply by Minister for Transport Chee Hong Tat:

1.     Currently, residents at Rivervale Shores are served by bus Services 50, 62 and 85 along Sengkang East Drive which connect them to the transport hub at Sengkang town centre, as well as to other places like Punggol, Hougang, Ang Mo Kio, Bishan, Upper Paya Lebar and Yishun.

2.     As MOT announced last month, LTA will make enhancements to bus services under the Bus Connectivity Enhancement Programme to better serve the needs of commuters, including residents from newer estates. LTA will share more details as they progressively introduce these enhancements in consultation with the grassroots advisers.
