BEDOK RESERVOIR HOUSING ESTATE/TAMPINES NEW TOWN (Direct bus service)

Encik Zulkifli bin Mohammed asked the Minister for Communications and Information whether the Singapore Bus Service Limited will consider providing a direct link service for residents of neighbouring housing estates, for example, between Bedok Reservoir Housing Estate and Tampines New Town.

The Senior Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Communications and Information (Mr Ho Kah Leong) (for the Minister for Communications and Information): Mr Speaker, Sir, I am answering on behalf of my Minister.

Sir, I shall ask SBS to consider the Member's suggestion. In addition, I shall ask SBS to have more discussions with Members of Parliament and resident committees in the various constituencies with a view towards improving bus services in general.
