SINGAPORE: Full-day bus lanes will be extended to three more locations from July 28.
The locations are Orchard Road, between Orange Grove Road and Anguilia Park; Orchard Boulevard, between Grange Road and Paterson Road; and Serangoon Road, between Buffalo Road and Balestier Road.
Currently, these three stretches have regular bus lanes, which operate during the peak hours of 7.30am to 9.30am and 5.00pm to 8.00pm.
But with the change, these lanes will be demarcated by continuous yellow and red lines, and will operate from 7.30am to 8.00pm on weekdays and Saturdays, with the exception of public holidays.
The Land Transport Authority (LTA) said the extension of the bus lane hours is in line with the government's masterplan to increase coverage of bus lanes and encourage more people to use public transport.
LTA has engaged and informed relevant parties affected by the changes, such as businesses, building owners and grassroots organisations.
