More lots, higher priority for regular users in Park
& Ride revamp
SINGAPORE : The Land Transport Authority (LTA) is working
to improve the Park & Ride Scheme aimed at getting motorists to
use public transport in their daily commute.
Transport Minister Raymond Lim said that for the popular Park &
Ride car parks, LTA is working with HDB to try to increase the
number of lots, or in some cases, identify new Park & Ride car
parks in the vicinity.
Secondly, LTA will step up the publicity for the less popular Park
& Ride car parks.
LTA will also work with TransitLink to make it more convenient for
users to obtain their monthly Park & Ride sets, such as through
on-line channels.
It will also look at giving regular users greater priority to buy
Park & Ride sets.
Mr Lim said details will be announced early next year.
He was replying to a parliamentary question from MP for Sembawang
GRC Dr Lim Wee Kiak. Dr Lim wanted an update on the scheme and
plans to improve it.
There are at present 36 Park & Ride car parks across the
island.
