SINGAPORE: A new Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system that could use higher-capacity two-section and three-section buses is being studied for Tuas South, with an islandwide rollout possible if it proves feasible.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Land Transport Authority (LTA) said on Friday (Jul 31) that a BRT system in Tuas South could give workers faster and more reliable connections from their workplaces to existing and future MRT stations.<\/span><\/p>\n

BRT is a “medium-capacity transport mode” that offers higher passenger capacity than conventional bus services, though less than the MRT, LTA said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Such systems typically run on dedicated road lanes or corridors with traffic signal priority, allowing BRT vehicles to travel faster and more reliably than conventional buses.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis also results in higher capacity, especially at peak periods, while requiring less dedicated infrastructure and greater flexibility in route adjustments compared to MRT or LRT systems,\u201d said LTA.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis makes BRT a potentially cost-effective and scalable solution for suitable medium-density corridors like in Tuas South.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
