SINGAPORE : The Land Transport Authority (LTA) is working to improve the Park & Ride Scheme aimed at getting motorists to use public transport in their daily commute.
Transport Minister Raymond Lim said that for the popular Park & Ride car parks, LTA is working with HDB to try to increase the number of lots, or in some cases, identify new Park & Ride car parks in the vicinity.
Secondly, LTA will step up the publicity for the less popular Park & Ride car parks.
LTA will also work with TransitLink to make it more convenient for users to obtain their monthly Park & Ride sets, such as through on-line channels.
It will also look at giving regular users greater priority to buy Park & Ride sets.
Mr Lim said details will be announced early next year.
He was replying to a parliamentary question from MP for Sembawang GRC Dr Lim Wee Kiak. Dr Lim wanted an update on the scheme and plans to improve it.
There are at present 36 Park & Ride car parks across the island. - CNA /ls
