The Journey For the first 30 years, road and public transport systems managed separately In 1995, Land Transport Authority as one major governing body The White Paper (1996) identified 4 key strategies: Integrating transport and land use planning Expanding the road network and maximizing its capacity Managing demand for road usage Providing quality public transport choices
“..convinced that Singapore is well placed to create a world class system” Instead of India having quality and highest no of skilled engineers. ( Hasegawa et al, 1997) –(French executer) Independent International Audit Panel
Road Development Over last 25 years, road network has been expanded by about 16%
Road Development In INDIA 1995 to 2010, rate of total vehicle population growth outstripped growth of road development Vehicle growth - 13% p.a. Road growth - 1% p.a. Vehicles to Road length ratio
Road Management in other countries. Maximize Capacity Regulate Vehicle Use

Regulate Vehicle Use Congestion pricing In 1999, Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) system to charge vehicles in central zone
Regulate Vehicle Use Demand management Previously, mechanisms such as import fee worth 130%, and an excise tax of 20% In 1990, Government cut the growth of car population from 6% to 3% a year. And further to 1.5% in 2009, 1% in 2012, and 0.5% 2013 onwards Vehicle Quota System - prospective car owners to bid for Certificate of Entitlement (COE)
Number of Cars / 100 persons
Average Speed of vehicles on roads
Taxi network in SINGAPORE 18000 taxis carrying around 1 million passengers a day Liberalized market with few operators Quality of Service Standards by the government Highest number of taxis per million population among Hong Kong, London, and New York
Taxi network in INDIA 13,18,000 taxis carrying around 07 million passengers a day. Huge taxi market with few Passengers as compared to other Quality of Service Standards by the taxi drivers.
At one of the lowest fares
Bus Network By 1990s, two multi-modal Public Transport Operators – ComfortDelgro , the parent of SBS Transit , and SMRT Corporation In 2008, Land Transport Authority (LTA) took the role of centralised bus planner Today, buses dominant public transport mode – over 3.6 million journeys per day
Population – Buses Ratio
One of the highest in comparison
At one of the lowest fares
Rail Network Realized in 1972 that buses alone would not be able to cater for all Singapore’s public transport demand Construction began in 1982 First line opened in 1987 Today, 153km of MRT line (tube) and over 2.6 million passengers a day
Population – Rail length Ratio
In comparison to other metropolitans
At one of the lowest fares
Recent years & Future
GDP 28% higher in 2012 as compared to 2008 Expected to grow 3-4% every year over the next 10-15 years Population grew from 4.8 million in 2008 to 5.3 million in 2012 More than 12.5 million journeys today. Expected to reach to 14.3 million by 2020 Changing dynamics
Areas of focus More Connections 8 in 10 homes to be within 10-min walk to MRT Integrated Hubs to make transfers easily Majorly Public Transport dependent Better Service Ramp up capacity to reduce over crowding Improve reliability and provide information on arrival and journey times Liveable and Inclusive Community Make public transport system barrier free Promote lower emissions and green vehicles
Road Development Already 12% for road as compared to 14% for housing Slower growth of road development in future as limited capacity - prioritization of new roads for bus lanes Innovative methods – Reversible flow on expressway
Dip because of faster growth in private transport as compared to public transport 1997 2004 2008 2013 2030
1997 2004 2008 2013 2030
Bus Network Bus Service Enhancement Program (BSEP) in 2012 Increase fleet by 20% (800 new buses) over 5 years Government to fund 550 of them, rest by operators Decrease waiting time - 4 in 5 bus services run every 10 minutes or less during weekday peak hours, improvement from every 15 minutes in 2008 Other advancements: Bus priority schemes: Mandatory Give-Way on more than 350 bus stops Bus-triggered signal priority system in test-bedding Premium Bus Service scheme - commuters willing to pay higher fare for better service Fast Forward Bus service - fewer stops between long distances
Rail Network Between now and 2021, a new train line or extension to open every year – even more between 2020 and 2030 Double rail network from 138km to approximately 280km by around 2020 More trains to existing lines to increase capacity by 110% Upgrade signaling system by 2018 on two major existing lines – 20% increase in capacity Trains will run at 100-second intervals down from 120 seconds today - 6 trains every 10 min instead of current 5
MRT system by 2030 in Singapore
Taxi Network Taxi standards revised in 2013 80-85% of the taxis to be on the road at peak periods by 2015, as compared to 65-70% today 85% of the taxis to achieve daily minimum mileage of 250km as compared to 70% today Innovative private Taxi Apps – Uber, GrabTaxi , ola cabs, EasyTaxi , allowed in the market
