Assoc Prof Jamus Jerome Lim asked the Minister for Transport whether the Ministry has studied if staggered school commencement times, with students at different levels starting at different times, can ease congestion around schools especially during the morning rush hour.
Reply by Minister for Transport S Iswaran:
1. The impact of school commencement times on traffic varies depending on location and the specific school in question. Hence, the Land Transport Authority takes a case-by-case approach when working with the Ministry of Education and schools to manage the impact of schools on surrounding traffic.
