MULTI-MODEL TRANSPORT IN SINGAPORE

“Aiming towards a perfectly seamless public transport system , Singapore provides inclusive mobility with availability, affordability, convenience, real time information and safety as the major parameters ”

Distance from CBD Central Business District Multi modal hubs Multi modal hubs

Singapore has 13 multi-modal hubs connected by Bus Rapid Transit (BRT), Light Rail Transit (LRT), Metro Rail Transit (MRT), Mono rail and ferry. The Walk 2 Ride initiative of the PT system promotes lesser walkability and use of bicycles catering to first and last mile connectivity.

Key plan showing the multimodal hubs in Singapore

Schematic diagram of Seng Kang, Bukit Panjang & Harbourfront terminals showing transit lines

Schematic section demonstrating transit levels at Seng Kang hub

The transit hubs are designed for universal accessibility and are integrated with shopping and dining amenities thus adding convenience to commuters.

Prime use of technology, periodic maintenance and public discipline contribute to the successful functioning of the public transport system.
