Bus lanes, give-way to bus
scheme extended to more areas to improve bus
reliability
The Land Transport Authority (LTA) will expand two measures that
give buses more priority on the roads.
From the middle of October, it
will begin works to add 25km of new bus lanes at 13 selected road
corridors islandwide, including Sembawang Road, Ang Mo Kio Ave 6
and Bedok North Ave 3. The LTA said the roads selected have
sufficiently high numbers of buses plying along them and enough
traffic lanes to accommodate the implementation of new bus
lanes.
The LTA will also roll out the
Mandatory Give-Way to Buses scheme to another 135 bus bays from
November. These measures are meant to improve the overall
reliability and speeds of buses.
