SG: BSEP has improved bus services overall

Under the BSEP, 1,000 buses purchased using Government funds will be gradually added to the public bus network by 2017. Up to 660 of the above-mentioned buses are already in the network, with many more pending registration. The 660 buses have plied on 168 bus routes, reducing crowding on several routes by up to 90%. There are 41 new routes introduced under the scheme too. 31 are operated by the Public Transport Operators (PTOs), while 10 are City Direct Services (CDS) operated by Private Bus Operators (PBOs). The new bus services improve local connectivity to transport nodes and key amenities, and also serve new housing developments. The CDS provide a direct connection between residential estates and the city as an alternative to trains during the peak periods. More CDS services will be introduced to link residents of unconnected estates to the CBD. More buses will also be gradually introduced to the PTOs’ fleets.
