Based on a large passenger consultation, the latest Land Transport Masterplan 2040 published by the Land Transport Authority (LTA) has retained three priorities:
1- A transport network that is convenient, well-connected and fast
20-Minute Towns: all door-to-door journeys to the nearest neighbourhood centre using Walk-Cycle-Ride modes within 20 minutes;
45-Minute City: 9 in 10 peak-period door-to-door journeys using Walk-Cycle-Ride modes in less than 45 minutes;
Walk-Cycle-Ride modes: preferred way to travel, making up 9 in 10 of peak-period journeys.
Several action areas underpin this strategy:
Expansion of rail network and active mobility paths
Creation of transit priority corridors and deployment of automated driving for buses
Open and contestable market for taxis and private hire cars
Bringing jobs closer to home through development of employment centres outside CBD (e.g. Jurong and Punggol innovation districts)
Data based technology (e.g. app to book a combination of transport modes as a single service)
2- A transport environment that supports healthy lives and enables safer journeys
1000km
of cycling path network by 2040
100%
of buses fleet running on clearer energy by 2040: (hybrid or electric)
80%
of households within 10 min walk of a train station by 2030 (64% in 2019)
90%
of taxi companies fleet running on cleaner energy by 2025
The environmental footprint and safety of Singapore’s mobility system were also among the concerns expressed during the consultation.
Dedicate more space to public transport, active mobility and community uses.
For a healthier environment, increase use of clean propulsion systems (e.g. electricity, hybrid engines) for buses and taxis fleets; install equipment to reduce resident exposure to noise.
Reduce land transport-related fatalities through education, infrastructure design and enforcement measures.
3- A transport ecosystem characterised by gracious behaviour and inclusive infrastructure
Care more about each other’s needs while commuting.
“Barrier-free travel” for people with reduced mobility (seniors, pregnant women, wheelchair users and parents with small kids).
Upskill transport workers so that they can assist all types of users.
