2. The Journey
• For the first 30 years, road and public transport systems
managed separately
• In 1995, Land Transport Authority as one major
governing body
The White Paper (1996) identified 4 key strategies:
1. Integrating transport and land use planning
2. Expanding the road network and maximizing its capacity
3. Managing demand for road usage
4. Providing quality public transport choices
3. “..convinced that Singapore is well
placed to create a world class system”
Instead of India having quality and
highest no of skilled engineers.

charge vehicles
in central zone
14. Regulate Vehicle Use
2. Demand management
• Previously, mechanisms such as import fee worth 130%,
and an excise tax of 20%
• In 1990, Government cut the growth of car population
from 6% to 3% a year. And further to 1.5% in 2009, 1% in
2012, and 0.5% 2013 onwards

Changing dynamics
30. Areas of focus
1. More Connections
- 8 in 10 homes to be within 10-min walk to MRT
- Integrated Hubs to make transfers easily
- Majorly Public Transport dependent
2. Better Service
- Ramp up capacity to reduce over crowding
- Improve reliability and provide information on arrival and
journey times
3. Liveable and Inclusive Community
- Make public transport system barrier free
- Promote lower emissions and green vehicles
31. Road Development
• Already 12% for road as compared to 14% for housing
• Slower growth of road development in future as limited capacity -
prioritization of new roads for bus lanes
• Innovative methods – Reversible flow on expressway
32. Dip because of faster growth in private transport as compared to public transport

34. Bus Network
• Bus Service Enhancement Program (BSEP) in 2012
- Increase fleet by 20% (800 new buses) over 5 years
- Government to fund 550 of them, rest by operators
- Decrease waiting time - 4 in 5 bus services run every 10 minutes or less during
weekday peak hours, improvement from every 15 minutes in 2008
• Other advancements:
- Bus priority schemes: Mandatory Give-Way on more than 350 bus stops
- Bus-triggered signal priority system in test-bedding
- Premium Bus Service scheme - commuters willing to pay higher fare for better service
- Fast Forward Bus service - fewer stops between long distances
35. Rail Network
• Between now and 2021, a new train line or extension to open every
year – even more between 2020 and 2030
• Double rail network from 138km to approximately 280km by around
2020
• More trains to existing lines to increase capacity by 110%
• Upgrade signaling system by 2018 on two major existing lines –
20% increase in capacity
Trains will run at 100-second intervals down from 120 seconds today -
6 trains every 10 min instead of current 5
37. Taxi Network
• Taxi standards revised in 2013
- 80-85% of the taxis to be on the road at peak periods by 2015, as
compared to 65-70% today
- 85% of the taxis to achieve daily minimum mileage of 250km as
compared to 70% today
• Innovative private Taxi Apps – Uber, GrabTaxi, ola cabs,
EasyTaxi, allowed in the market
38. Cycling
• Recent shift towards cycling
• As of 2012, 6.4km of cycling path in 5 out of 26 residential
districts
• By 2015, 100km of cycling path
• By 2020, 190km in all of 26 districts
• Paths will lead to neighboring areas around districts e.g.
schools, MRTs, and shopping center
• Long term vision - Island-wide cycling path of 700km
• Test-bedding bicycle sharing scheme in one district in 2015
39. EZ-link card
• One card for all public transport modes
• Since 2010, fare calculated based on total distance,
irrespective of number or modes of transfers
• Extension of services to other lifestyle elements such as
shopping payments
40. Decentralization of Commercial Centers
• Decentralize commercial and other economic activities
through the development of regional, sub-regional and
fringe centres at MRT stations
• Reduce the needs to travel by locating employment
centres near to residential areas
• These ‘Integrated Hubs’ becoming fun and convenient
lifestyle places for commuters to embark on their journey,
or meet, live, work and play
41. ITS Vision for 2050
“Moving towards a more connected and
interactive land transport community”
Smart Urban Mobility of the Future where people and the
transportation system are seamlessly connected,
interacting through innovative, state-of-the-art
ITS technologies

Although Vehicle population grown in these years, Average speed stays constant. Thanks to ITS measures, infrastructural developments, and demand management tactics
Buses capacity increasing in comparison to population growth
Aim is to bring modal split to 75% by 2030
Premium Bus Service Scheme
The premium bus service scheme caters to commuters who are prepared to pay a higher fare for a higher level of bus service, e.g. a more direct journey with a more comfortable ride and guaranteed seas. Premium bus services can help to bridge the gap between personalized services (cars and taxis) and basic public transport services.
A vibrant premium bus service sector will also help to attract more motorists to switch to public transport. To encourage greater market participation and innovation by private bus operators, there will be minimal regulations in bus routes, dates and service frequency for such premium bus services.
Innovative Bus Services
LTA will continue to work with the bus operators to introduce innovative basic bus services to provide greater choice to commuters. The Fast Forward bus service is a prime example. Since its inception in 2005, Fast Forward bus services have brought travel time savings of up to 20% to commuters in the morning and evening peak hours by having fewer stops and flexible routing to avoid traffic congestion.
The mandatory give-way to buses scheme, implemented at 218 bus bays island-wide since 2008, also enables buses to exit the bays faster, by as much as over 70 percent in some cases, for quicker travel.
