Ms Joan Pereira asked the Minister for Transport what measures will be implemented to improve the safety of buses and whether the Ministry will consider requiring all buses to be equipped with features, such as motion cameras, speed and obstacle sensor alarms and telematics systems, to alert drivers to the risk of accidents and deter dangerous driving.

Khaw Boon Wan

Today, all public buses are already equipped with cameras and speed limiters. The newer buses have enhanced safety features. Around 40% of the fleet has telematics and around 15% has anti-collision warning systems. Over time, these will be standard features in all public buses.

The Land Transport Authority is also exploring more advanced safety features, such as blind spot warning systems.
