Domestic Transport in Singapore at 9:02 AM picture adapted from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Kawasaki_c751_eunos.jpgThe domestic transport infrastructure has a well-connected island-wide road transport system which includes a network of espressway. The public road system is served by the nation's bus service and a number of licensed taxi-operating companies. The public bus transport has been the subject of criticism by Singaporeans, the majority of whom are dependent on it for their daily commuting. Since 1987, the heavy rail passenger Mass Rapit Transpit(MRT) metro system has been in operation. The MRT has been further augmented by the Light Rail Transit(LRT) light rail system, adds accessibility to housing estates. Established in 2001, EZ-link system allows contactless smartcards to serve as stored value tickets for use in the public transport systems in Singapore. More than 2.85 million people use the bus network daily, while more than 1.5 million people use either the LRT or MRT as part of their daily routine. Approximately 945,000 people use the taxi services daily. Private vehicle use in the Central Area is discouraged by tolls implemented during hours of heavy road traffic, through an Electronic Road Pricing system. Private vehicle ownership is discouraged by high vehicle taxes and imposing quotas on vehicle purchase. Zesna Aw Kenny Bong Letitia Koh Lee Xiao Yun xoxo, you know you love us |
