The aim is to create a more convenient, connected, and fast transport system that includes walking, cycling, and the use of personal mobility devices for short distances, and mass public transport for longer journeys. The vision includes '20-minute towns' and a '45-minute city' concept, where daily activities and commutes are within these time frames. To achieve this, there are plans to build extensive cycling paths, transit priority corridors, and integrated transport hubs, enhancing the overall travel experience.
🛠️ Infrastructure Development for Efficient Commuting
To facilitate faster travel, Singapore is investing in infrastructure, with plans to construct about 700 kilometers of cycling paths by 2030, expanding to over 1000 kilometers by 2040. Dedicated bus lanes and cycling paths will be established as transit priority corridors. The rail network will also see new lines and stations to improve connectivity. Additionally, integrated transport hubs will be developed to make transfers more convenient. Autonomous on-demand buses are part of the future plans, offering flexibility in transportation options.
🌐 Enhancing Accessibility and Inclusivity in Transport
Singapore's land transport network is being enhanced to be more inclusive, with initiatives aimed at creating a gracious and caring community.

transportation in Singapore has changed
in many ways over the past few years we
now have more choices for getting around
than ever before as the needs of
Singaporeans grow we are taking a fresh
look at how our land transport system
can better meet our future travel needs
so how will we shape our land transport
system in the years ahead for many of us
is about enjoying convenient connected
and fast journeys with more options to
walk cycle and ride that means we'll be
able to cover short distances easily by
walking cycling or using personal
mobility devices for longer journeys we
can count on mass public transport like
buses and trains or shared transport
like taxis private hire cars and car
sharing how will we make this happen
for a start you'll be faster for us to
get around with 20-minute towns and a
45-minute City eating out or going
shopping it will take no more than 20
minutes to get from your home to the
nearest neighbourhood centre where you
can find shops eating places clinics and
more and traveling to work during peak
hours should take no more than 45
minutes with transport improvements and
new regional centers that will bring
jobs closer to you to achieve these
goals we are building about 700
kilometres of cycling paths by 2030 and
will continue to expand our cycling path
network to well beyond 1000 kilometers
by 2040 transit priority corridors which
are dedicated bus lanes and cycling
paths will be built to enable faster
travel new lines and stations on a rail
network will connect us to even more
places on us
a island we can also look forward to
having more integrated transport hubs
which will make our journeys more
convenient it will be easier for us to
run quick errands along the way before
transferring to our next ride technology
will play a bigger part in our everyday
travel for example autonomous on-demand
buses will be available in the future to
offer us more flexibility to get to our
destination as our needs continue to
grow the land transport network will be
enhanced to become even more inclusive
for all we can create a more gracious
and caring community - by looking out
for one another
and helping others so that everyone can
enjoy the daily commute initiatives like
priority queues and cabins will be
implemented there will also be more
wheelchair accessible facilities and a
public transport network to help those
with trouble using steps the elderly
among us will find it easier to move
around with more resting points and
lives at overhead bridges
Wow commuters with special needs new
technologies like audio alerts will help
them board and alight from buses more
easy public transport staff will also
undergo more training to provide better
support for commuters who require
assistance we want to wake up every
morning to a clean and safe environment
where everyone can enjoy healthy lives
walking and cycling will be made better
with wider footpaths and dedicated
cycling paths while an additional 150
kilometers of covered link ways will
keep us cool and dry to and from our
doorsteps to create a more livable city
our towns will be redesigned with more
spaces set aside for community uses new
technologies like the collision warning
system on buses will also help make our
journey safer by 2040 we can enjoy a
greener and quieter environment with
public buses taxis and private fire cars
running on cleaner energy noise barriers
along elevated railway lines will also
bring sound levels down we're excited
about these upcoming initiatives which
will make it easier for everyone to walk
cycle and ride with the Land Transport
master plan 2014 we can all look forward
to a better land transport system that
brings Singapore together
