Low Ridership of City Direct Services 675, 676 and 677 and Strategies for Traffic Optimisation

Mr Abdul Muhaimin Abdul Malik asked the Acting Minister for Transport (a) whether the Ministry has studied the reasons for the low evening peak ridership of City Direct Services 675, 676 and 677; (b) what are the Ministry's plans to improve ridership, if any; and (c) whether the Ministry will consider traffic measures or reducing bus stops to improve travel speeds and journey times.

Mr Jeffrey Siow: Ridership during the evening peak is generally lower compared to the morning peak. We are monitoring the ridership on services 675, 676 and 677, but we have no immediate plans to adjust these services at this time.
