3. Key Strategies

Central Bus Network Planning • Key Land Transport Masterplan Initiative • One single agency that plans the entire land transport network Integrated, seamless connectivity; faster and more convenient travel Objectives Improve Journey Quality • Bus Frequency

Enhance PT Integration and Hub-and-Spoke Model

Maintain Overall Bus Network Financial Viability

• Travel Time

• Seamless Transfers

• Efficient Use of Resources

• Convenience

– Network Design

• Affordable Fares for Passengers

• Crowdedness • Reliability


38

3. Key Strategies

Improved Bus Quality of Service (QOS) to Reduce Waiting Times • 85% of Feeder bus services at headways of 10 mins or less (Aug 08)

• Trunk buses along ERP-affected corridors at shorter 12-min headways Year QoS Standards for Bus Services Aug 2008

12 minutes

Aug 2009

10 minutes

3. Key Strategies

Improved MRT Operating Performance Standards (OPS) • To Reduce Waiting Times and Alleviate Passenger Load in Trains

Reduced maximum train passenger loading per train to 1,600 Prescribed minimum headways for peak and lunch hours Time period

3. Key Strategies

Distance-Based Through Fares 3km

•

5km

Today, Bus-Only Journey with one transfer E.g. 3km on the 1st bus and 5km on the 2nd bus Ez-Link fare = $1.24 ($0.71 for 1st bus trip + $0.93 for 2nd bus trip - $0.40 transfer rebate)

•

With Distance-Based Through Fare Fare will be computed based on total distance travelled Based on today’s fare level, fare = $1.13 for his 8km journey 41


Introduce Contestability

3. Key Strategies

• Gradually Open up Basic Bus Services for Greater Competition to Improve Efficiency of Bus Operation Competition for the market, not competition in the market

• Future RTS operating licenses will also be awarded through tender and have shorter duration

42


3. Key Strategies

Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) • Implemented in 1998 • Replaced manual Area Licensing Scheme (ALS) • Congestion Management tool • Review speed range at 3-month interval

Adjust ERP charges (in half-hour slots) Expressways
