SINGAPORE : Commuters will be able to get real-time bus arrival information at 20 more bus stops by May.

This comes after a survey by the Land Transport Authority (LTA) found that over 90 percent of commuters voted for more of such panels.

The additional panels will be installed from Monday at bus stops with a high volume of commuter traffic.

Ten of the bus stops will be in the Central Business District and the rest around Singapore.

Last July, the LTA rolled out a pilot project at 30 selected bus stops.

And from this July, to help commuters making transfers between rail and buses, panels at the bus stops near Bugis and Chinatown MRT stations will also display the arrival times of rail services at those stations.

Two more panels will be installed at both stations' entrances from July and they will contain bus arrival times.

The LTA is also extending another well-received feature, the Key Bus Services Maps - which details bus routes and places of interests - to the Chinatown vicinity and to more areas on Orchard Road by the second half of this year. - CNA/ms
