Accessibility of Public Transport for Persons with Disabilities

Ms Sylvia Lim asked the Minister for Transport what is the Government's assessment of the current physical accessibility of public transport to persons with disabilities.

Mr Khaw Boon Wan: Our public transport system is now largely accessible to persons with disabilities. First, all our MRT stations and bus interchanges have at least one barrier-free access route from the entrance to the concourse. Second, all MRT trains and 92% of public buses are wheelchair-accessible. By 2020, all public buses will be so.
