Can we expect more improvements for public transport system in 2007?
Getting more people to use public buses and trains is one of the aims of the Transport Ministry in the coming year.
This as the ministry undertakes a comprehensive review of its Land Transport Policy.
Transport reporter Lin Jiamei with more.
2006 saw several improvements in the transport scene as Singapore moves towards to having a world class transportation system.
There was the revision of the service standards for public bus services, to ensure better reliability and safety for the commuters.
Plans for a new transport roadmap were also announced, with a comprehensive review to be undertaken in 2007.
This would take stock of the 1996 White Paper on Singapore's Land Transport Policy.
And one area which the ministry will look into in the coming year - getting more people on board the public transport system.
However it may not be a task that will see immediate results.
Assistant Professor at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, Dr Paul Barter.
"Majority of people in Singapore are getting more and more choosy. People expect excellance and they expect it to be at a decent price and they expect it to be convenient. You can't provide them with a basic public transport anymore and say thats your alternative to having a car. They will say that alternative is not good enough. We want a really excellant public transport system."
But for a start commuters could just find safer trains and buses next year.
Earlier in March the Land Transport Authority indicated that the majority of buses and trains could be equipped with security cameras as early as 2007.
And it started a trial run in June.
So can we expect more improvements for the public transport system next year? -
close close close!
