LTA vows to roll out a total of 1,000 buses by 2017

760 buses have been added as of 2015.

Commuters can expect even shorter waiting times and less crowded buses, as the Land Transport Authority (LTA) has announced that the Bus Service Enhancement Programme (BSEP) will roll out 240 more buses from 2016 to 2017.

According to the LTA, seven new bus services were introduced between October and December 2015, while two existing bus services were extended.

“These new and extended bus services have improved connectivity for residents of Bedok, Bukit Panjang, Choa Chu Kang, Jurong East, Jurong West, Marine Parade, Punggol, Sembawang, Tampines and Yishun. They bring the total number of new or extended services under BSEP to 54,” the press release said.

The LTA also announced new routes by March 2016, including routes in Eunos, Marine Parade and Yishun.

“One new route, SBS Transit Service 382, which serves the new housing developments in Punggol West, as well as key amenities such as the new Punggol SAFRA Clubhouse, has started operations on 3 January 2016. More new routes will be announced later,” the statement said.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
