Smooth Journey to Global Connectivity
Transportation
Singapore is one of the most densely populated countries in the world. Like other urban cities, Singapore faces the challenges of meeting the growing travel demands to support the economy and the needs of its citizens against the constraints of physical space. In 2008, the public transport mode share was 59 per cent during morning peak hours (based on HITS 2008). By 2030, Singapore aims for at least 85 per cent of public transport commuters to complete their journey within 60 minutes during the morning peak hours, from the time they set out on their journey to their destination (i.e. “door-to-door” journey time), up from 63 per cent.
Did you know?
- The Land Transport Authority (LTA) targets to increase public transport mode share to 75% by 2030. This means that the number of daily journeys will increase by 50% from 12.5 million today as we double the size of our rail network.
