Bus Transport In Singapore




Interchange.]]
Bus Interchange.]]

Bus transport in Singapore is the most comprehensive and affordable means of Public Transport for the masses, with over two million rides taken per day on average on the buses of the two main public transport providers SBS Transit and SMRT Corporation . There are more than 300 bus services covering all parts of Singapore.

Plans released in the Public Transport White Paper by the Land Transport Authority , however, predict the gradual decline of extensive public bus transport with the development of a comprehensive rail-based transport system such as the Mass Rapid Transit . It was due to this concern, that the government worked towards establishing multi-modal transport companies so as to allow them to remain relevant in the future.
