SINGAPORE : Recommendations of the The Concept Plan 2011 Focus Group on "Quality of Life and Ageing" include an intra-city shuttle bus network and a hire-and-ride bicycle scheme.
The focus group has also recommended, among other things, a menu of senior-friendly fixtures for residents to retrofit their existing homes.
The recommendations are aimed at making Singapore a more liveable and lively city, which is inspiring and vibrant.
One way, the group said, is to improve public transport - for example by renting out bicycles.
Professor Tan Chorh Chuan, co-chairman of the focus group and President, National University of Singapore, said: "The idea was to create more cycling paths as well as make it more convenient for people to cycle.
"The idea is that if you could take up a bicycle at one place, leave it off at another place and maybe with facilities to clean up after that, that might promote cycling within hot and humid Singapore."
The focus group is one of two focus groups appointed by the Urban Redevelopment Authority as part of the Concept Plan 2011 review public consultation exercise to discuss four key issues - Quality of Life, Ageing, Sustainability and Identity.
