The following question stood in the name of Mr Gan Thiam Poh –

To ask the Minister for Transport whether the Ministry will consider more bus services to be introduced for Fernvale in view of the increase in the number of HDB flats and the pending completion of the LRT system upgrade.

Question No 8.

The Senior Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Transport (Mr Baey Yam Keng) (for the Minister for Transport)

Besides the Light Rail Transit, residents at Fernvale are currently served by bus services that connect them to the transport hub at Sengkang town centre and to other areas, like Ang Mo Kio, Serangoon, Upper Thomson and Yishun. Additionally, City Direct Service 671 provides a direct connection from Fernvale to and from the city during the morning and evening peak periods.

The Land Transport Authority makes enhancements to bus connectivity in tandem with new housing developments. For example, we adjusted the route of Service 102 and increased its capacity to serve the recently completed Fernvale Glades and Fernvale Woods Build-To-Order projects.

Speaker

Order. End of Question Time. The Clerk will now proceed to read the Order of the Day.

[Pursuant to Standing Order No 22(3), provided that Members had not asked for questions standing in their names to be postponed to a later Sitting day or withdrawn, written answers to questions not reached by the end of Question Time are reproduced in the Appendix.]
