Provision of Point-to-Point Bus Services to Primary School Students during School Peak Periods

Mr Don Wee asked the Minister for Education whether the Ministry can work with the public bus operators via LTA to provide point-to-point bus services to primary school students during school peak periods.

Mr Chan Chun Sing: Public bus operators provide public bus services under the Land Transport Authority’s Bus Contracting Model, which are planned taking into account ridership, existing connectivity options and financial sustainability. Public bus operators which have sufficient capacity to enter the school bus market without compromising on public bus services are welcome to bid for school bus contracts.
