Committee of Supply 2022 debate, Day 5: Gerald Giam on bus services rationalisation
The Land Transport Authority (LTA) should strive to retain trunk bus services. These serve many elderly and disabled residents who have trouble walking between bus stops or transferring from bus to MRT. Many of them do not mind longer bus routes or bus rides if it means walking less. MP Gerald Giam, who made this call in Parliament on Tuesday (Mar 8), said that while LTA and public transport operators strive towards efficiency, they must pay closer attention to the comfort and convenience of commuters. He urged LTA to proactively monitor public feedback.
