Sheltered Walkways from Schools to Bus-stops and MRT Stations

Mr Darryl David asked the Minister for Transport whether LTA can work with all schools and institutions to provide sheltered walkways along the shortest possible route to bus-stops and MRT stations to enhance last-mile connectivity.

Mr Khaw Boon Wan: Today, 80% of schools already have covered linkways to an MRT station within 400 metres or an LRT station, bus interchange or bus stop within 200 metres. These linkways are built along the most practical path. The remaining schools will have covered linkways by 2018, if they fall within the Walk2Ride criteria.
