Debated in Parliament on 9 Jan 2024.
Mr Gan Thiam Poh asked the Minister for Transport whether the Ministry will consider incentivising families to use public transport, including taxi and private hire cars, so that it will be a more attractive alternative to car ownership.
Our trains and buses, as well as stations and interchanges, are accessible and equipped with family-friendly features to encourage families to use public transport.
Families can also use point-to-point services, such as a taxi or a private hire car, as well as car-sharing services to meet their commuting needs.
