Land Transport Masterplan - Service Quality Is Key Feature

By adding more than 100 trains to the rail network to boost capacity, we will reduce commuter crowding. We are also upgrading the MRT signalling system so that trains can run more frequently and commuters will have a shorter wait.

ERP Payment

We refer to Mr Lee Kim Loong’s letter “Allow delayed payment of ERP charges” (Straits Times, 6 December). The ERP system is designed to deduct ERP charges at point of usage via a stored-value card. When the IU is detected without a card or when there is insufficient value in the card, the collection of the ERP charges have to be managed in a more lengthy manner, as it involves back-end checking, processing and subsequent collection of the charges through other channels. The administrative fee is introduced to recover these additional costs incurred.

Info needed to verify illegal parking: LTA

For offences such as illegal parking, where offenders may be fined or prosecuted, we need to ensure that reports submitted are accurate before we proceed with enforcement action ("Don't make it so hard to report illegal parking" by Mr Khoo Boon Lee; Forum Online, March 22).

2013-04-04 04 Apr 2013

This trial complements our efforts to improve rail capacity aggressively through additional trains, higher train frequencies and new rail lines in the longer term.

2013-04-22 22 Apr 2013

Why Downtown Line has 3-car trains

We refer to Mr Gurmit Singh Kullar’s letter "Why only three-car trains?” (ST, 3 Apr).

To make for a robust planning process, LTA works closely with relevant planning agencies to review existing and planned developments, population density along the corridor, and the increased mode shift towards public transport, among other things.

Multi-pronged Approach To Curb Illegal Parking

We refer to Mr Tan Kok Tim’s letter ‘A cheaper alternative to CCTVs to deter illegal parking’ (TODAY, 22 March 2013). In addition to regular patrols by our enforcement team and the use of CCTVs to deter illegal parking and improve traffic conditions, the use of fixed concrete blocks can only be considered on undivided two-way, two-lane roads (that is, one lane each way) to make it unattractive for vehicles to park along these single lanes.

2013-04-02 02 Apr 2013

Steps taken to ensure road signs are visible

We thank Ms Caroline Tan Lian Neo for her feedback ("Hard to see road signs with trees, other signs about"; Forum Online, April 13). The Land Transport Authority (LTA) works with the National Parks Board (NParks) to ensure foliage does not obstruct signs along our roads and expressways.

Ease of commuter movement is a priority

We refer to Mr Soh Ah Yuen’s letter ‘Install barriers at bus stops to curb speeding cyclists’ (TODAY Online, 30 Apr). We have reviewed Mr Soh’s suggestion to install barriers at the bus stops. A key consideration is that metal barriers would impede the movement of commuters reaching the bus stops especially during peak hours. Wheelchair –bound passengers also find it difficult to access bus stops with barriers in place.

2013-07-13 13 Jul 2013

Cards in readers: visual and audible signals alert motorists

We refer to Mr Heng Cho Choon’s letter, “Adopt ‘touch and go’ system for tolls”, (The Straits Times, 18 July 2013). The Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP)/toll system is used primarily to regulate the entry and for the collection of VEP fees for foreign vehicles entering into Singapore.

LTA Not Looking To Implement Free Train Rides For Evening Peak For The Time Being

We refer to Mr Zhuang Ming Xin’s letter “Free MRT for those who knock off later” (Lianhe Zaobao, 25 Jul 2013). The free pre-peak travel trial aims to ease crowding along the most crowded stretches of the rail network. These are typically city-bound stretches in the mornings. Commuters’ travel patterns are more spread out in the evenings, both across time, as well as destination. We are therefore focusing on the morning peak rail commuters for now.

2013-07-30 30 Jul 2013

LTA reviewing sheltered linkway for special school

Prompt repairs for faulty train arrival info panels

WE REFER to Mr Kuan Weng Chi's letter ("Time to fix train arrival info panels"; Forum Online, July 19).

We therefore place them in high commuter traffic areas such as entrances, fare-gates, platforms and transfer corridors.

2013-07-29 29 Jul 2013

Surcharge Spurs Cabs to Enter CBD

We refer to the letter by Mr Tan Hee Jan, ‘Cut ERP rate for taxis’ (The Straits Times, 17 Jul 2013), in which Mr Tan suggested that the Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) rate for taxis be cut to encourage more taxis to enter the Central Business District (CBD). The objective of ERP is to manage congestion so traffic remains smooth-flowing. Taxis are subject to ERP because, like all other vehicles, they occupy road space and contribute to congestion.

2013-07-24 24 Jul 2013

Commuters benefit from less crowded peak travel

We refer to Ms Cheralyn Nicole Lee’s letter, “Offer early-bird perks at stations outside city” (MyPaper, 27 June 2013) and Law Yong Wee’s letter, “Give free travel scheme a boost” (TODAY, 26 June 2013).

The opening, which also coincided with the June School Holiday may have played a part in attracting large volume of shoppers and vehicular traffic to the area.

Slip-road Traffic Must Give Way To Vehicles on Main Road

We refer to Mr David Lim Yoke Peng’s letter “Dangerous traffic lights at Toa Payoh junction”, (ST Online, 19 Aug). Generally, pedestrian crossings – both signalised and zebra crossings – are implemented within slip roads to help pedestrian cross safely. After the pedestrian crossing, a few metres away, give way lines and signs are placed at the intersection between the slip road and the main road to alert drivers to check for oncoming traffic from the right before they join the main road.

COE Change - Why OMV Not Used For Categorising Cars

We refer to the letters and a commentary in the Straits Times on the refinements to the Certificate of Entitlement (COE) and thank the writers for their views. (The Straits Times, 12 September 2013) Many people suggested categorising cars according to their Open Market Value (OMV). However, using OMV directly is problematic because a car’s OMV can fluctuate significantly over a short period of time, depending on exchange rates and car model specifications.

2013-09-17 17 Sep 2013

Engine capacity and power battery proxy

We refer to the letters in TODAY on the refinements to the Certificate of Entitlement (COE) and thank the writers for their views.

Bukit Timah Traffic Will Improve When Roadworks End

WE THANK Mr Tan Chin Kwang for his letter ("Jam turns 1.7km drive into hour-long ordeal"; Forum Online, Sept 6).

Some motorists could have diverted from the congested PIE to Bukit Timah Road to reach Bukit Panjang Ring Road.

2013-09-23 23 Sep 2013

COE categorisation - LTA addresses concerns

We refer to the articles on tweaking the COE system. The intent for refining the Certificate of Entitlement (COE) categorisation is to keep Category A primarily for mass-market cars. We did not re-categorise COEs using Open Market Value (OMV) because OMV can fluctuate with exchange rates and different car fittings. This could result in a particular car model fluctuating between Categories A and B, which would be confusing for car-buyers.

2013-09-26 26 Sep 2013

LTA addresses concerns over COE categorisation

We refer to the article, “Hri Kumar slams COE tweaks, urges push for cleaner cars” (TODAY, 16 Sep 2013) and letter by Tan Si An, “For COEs, best indicator of value is value itself, not proxies” (TODAY, 20 Sep 2013) on tweaking the COE system. The intent for refining the Certificate of Entitlement (COE) categorisation is to keep Category A primarily for mass-market cars.

Approval process no different for parallel-imported cars

We refer to Mr Glen Goh Kwang Yih’s letter “Why do parallel-import cars have longer inspection period?” (TODAY, 9 Oct 2014). There is no difference in the approval process for new car models brought in by parallel importers and authorised dealers.

2014-10-17 17 Oct 2014

Ambulances can use bus lanes in emergencies

We refer to Mr David Goh Kia Ngan’s letter ‘Why can't private ambulances use bus lanes?’ (ST, 27 Oct). Ambulances may use the bus lanes when delivering patients in a medical emergency and should sound their sirens to signal this to other traffic.

2014-10-31 31 Oct 2014

Considerations in expanding rail network

We refer to Mr Zhang Jianyun’s letter "Explore options to improve future capacity of train system” (TODAY, 2 Oct). The design of our rail lines is based on the projections of Singapore’s population and ridership growth, obtained after working closely with the relevant agencies. Other factors considered when planning a new line include travel times, commuter benefits, changing commuter travel patterns, upcoming developments, as well as the distribution of new residential and employment sectors.

2014-10-14 14 Oct 2014

Cycling paths to cater to cyclists of all skill levels

We refer to the letters by Mr Eric Loo Min Hua and Mr Jeffrey Tan on dedicated on-road cycling lanes (The New Paper, 20 Oct 2014). Currently, cyclists are allowed to ride on all roads, including the bus lanes at all times, except expressways and road tunnels.

2014-10-28 28 Oct 2014

LTA looking at other ERP payment modes

We refer to Mr Mahinder Singh’s letter “ERP payments: Give grace period” (Straits Times, 17 October). The Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) system is designed to deduct ERP charges at the point of usage via a stored-value card. If the in-vehicle unit (IU) is detected without a card or when there is insufficient value in the card, the collection of the ERP charges will have to go through additional processes which involve back-end checking, processing and subsequent collection of the charges through other channels.

2014-10-24 24 Oct 2014

Over-height vehicles

We refer to Mr Gan Chin Yean’s letter ‘Heavier penalties better to stop vehicles from hitting overhead structures’ (TODAY Online, 2 Oct 2014). Incidents involving an over-height vehicle hitting an overhead structure are relatively low. However, a damaged overhead road structure can pose significant danger to the vehicle driver and other road users.

2014-10-10 10 Oct 2014

Bukit Panjang public transport improving in line with developments

We refer to Mr Tan Chin Kwang’s letter ‘Improve Bukit Panjang-city bus services’ (ST Online, 3 Oct). Service 972 was introduced last year under the Government’s Bus Services Enhancement Programme (BSEP) to enhance the bus network in Singapore and improve the connectivity for Bukit Panjang. Bus Service 972 connects residents in the town to key transport nodes such as Dhoby Ghaut MRT interchange and Somerset and Orchard MRT stations, where they can transfer to other rail lines or bus services to reach their destinations.

2014-10-11 11 Oct 2014

ERP gantry locations ensure CBD developments are within cordon

We refer to Mr Ajit Singh Nagpal’s letter “Why levy ERP on traffic leaving city?” (The Straits Times, 19 September). Mr Singh has suggested moving the Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) gantry located at Central Boulevard to after the turn-off into Sheares Avenue. With the opening of the Marina Coastal Expressway (MCE), the ERP cordon for the Central Business District (CBD) has been adjusted to ensure that developments in Marina Bay Downtown will continue to be within the cordon.

2014-10-01 01 Oct 2014

On track towards highly integrated rail network

We refer to Mr William Chan’s letter "North needs MRT line with direct east-west link” (ST, 22 Sep). Our vision for 2030 is to double Singapore’s rail network to 360 kilometres and to have eight in ten households within a ten-minute walk from a train station. In developing our MRT network, LTA works closely with the relevant land use agencies to enhance the reach and connectivity of the network to areas currently not served by rail, taking into consideration factors such as developmental plans and timelines of the area.

2014-10-04 04 Oct 2014

Why the TEL has been planned as a four-car system

We refer to Mr Tan Kok Tim’s letter "Build longer platforms for Thomson-East Coast Line” (TODAY, 25 Sep). When planning for a new MRT line, LTA considers many factors, including ridership, travel patterns and existing land developments. A longer car system requires longer station platforms and larger train depots. This in turn requires more land-take, as well as potentially more land acquisition, which can have significant impact on homes and families. LTA weighs these considerations very seriously when considering the need for a higher capacity system or buffer, and keeps acquisition to only what is necessary.

Hence, motorists should not wait at these bays, as this will cause unnecessary obstruction to other motorists picking up or alighting their passengers.

Splitting Cat C would result in a much smaller quota available in each sub-category for each bidding exercise, and lead to greater volatility in prices.
