Written Reply to Parliamentary Question on Update on New Bus Services Introduced in Tengah New Town to Institutes of Learning

Mr Leong Mun Wai asked the Minister for Transport whether new bus services will be introduced to connect Tengah new town to nearby primary schools in Bukit Gombak or other schools with a high enrolment of Tengah residents.

Reply by Acting Minister for Transport Chee Hong Tat:

1.     Currently, Bus Services 870 and 992 provide Tengah residents direct connection to schools in Bukit Batok such as Princess Elizabeth Primary School and Bukit Batok Secondary School. Tengah residents travelling to schools in Bukit Gombak such as Dazhong Primary School and St Anthony’s Primary can also take Service 870 or 992 before connecting to Service 188.

2.     With the completion of more BTOs and schools within Tengah, LTA will monitor changes in travel patterns and make further adjustments where necessary.
