    This document discusses strategies and initiatives by the Land Transport Authority to promote public transport use in Singapore. The key targets are to have 85% of trips under 20km completed within 1 hour, 80% of homes within 10 minutes of a train station, and 75% of peak hour trips on public transport by 2030. Methods discussed include expanding the MRT network, increasing bus capacity, giving buses priority, integrated fares, real-time arrival information, upgrading bus interchanges, and park-and-ride facilities. Surveys and incentive programs are used to understand users and encourage shifting trips to off-peak periods.

    public hols)

    Those who exit between 7.45am and


    8.00am on weekdays will still receive 50
    cts off their fare.

    Early results have been encouraging and


    we are monitoring it

    8.00 am to 9.00 am
    Ratio of peak- to pre-peak exits was reduced
    from 2.7 to 2.1 times.
