Specifically from the paragraphs below.
"The Government is funding the capital cost of the ramps, which
comes to about $21 million in total. By end-2010, 40% of our buses
will have wheelchair-accessible ramps, and by 2020, all of them
will."
"Second, the bus stops along the route must be
wheelchair-accessible. This involves replacing steps with ramps,
removing potential obstacles and creating more space for
wheelchairs to manoeuvre.
The Land Transport Authority (LTA) is in the process of making
all 4,500 bus stops in Singapore wheelchair-accessible by 2010.
These two sets of improvements, to the buses and the bus stops,
are coordinated between the LTA and the public transport operators
so that we can roll out as many wheelchair-accessible bus services
as possible to best meet the needs of
passengers-in-wheelchairs.
The criterion of requiring at least 80% of bus stops to be
wheelchair-accessible, before designating the bus route as such, is
to balance between the safety of passengers-in-wheelchairs and the
speed of implementation."
It's still in progress today.
