Brick by brick, we will continue to build a sustainable and inclusive land transport system for Singapore. Minister Ong Ye Kung reaffirmed our commitment to Singaporeans in MOT’s Addendum to the President's Address earlier today, even as we tackle the challenges brought about by COVID-19, to make Singapore a 45-Minute City with 20-Minute Towns by 2040 where we can walk, cycle and ride conveniently. Our active mobility infrastructure is expanding. Over the next decade, our current network of cycling path will grow over 1,300km with the Islandwide Cycling Network Programme. This means that the nearest cycling path will be just 5 mins away for most HDB residents - making it easier and safer for all to commute or run quick errands in our neighbourhoods. Whether we are walking, cycling or riding, look out for those who travel with us. A gracious and caring culture is the cornerstone of our transport system and we can make our journeys more pleasant together. #ltmp2040 #safepaths #ridesafe #caringSGcommuters #SGunited https://www.instagram.com/p/CEZSgmLHqg-/?igshid=tbrr0lvh1weu

Want to try out the first-ever electric public minibus in Singapore? From 17 October, Service 825 serving Yio Chu Kang will pick up commuters in mini e-buses with a wheelchair-lifting mechanism. This not only makes commuting quieter, smoother and more environment-friendly, the wheelchair-lifting feature is also more inclusive! Separately, Yio Chu Kang Bus Interchange expansion started operations progressively last Sunday, 13 October. Residents and commuters will get to enjoy enhanced facilities, such as improved boarding points, barrier-free alighting areas, priority queue zones with seats, a nursing room and barrier-free toilets. Another step towards a more pleasant and inclusive public transport system in Singapore! #LTMP2040 https://www.instagram.com/p/B3wxD8SHO6B/?igshid=1r13by08gy9cl

Singapore - a 45-min city with 20-min towns by 2040, using walk, cycle and ride modes! Joined Ch8’s Hello Singapore hosts Guo Liang and Meilan, and Professor Hsieh Cheng Hsien to discuss how Singaporeans can benefit from the Land Transport Master Plan 2040. What’s coming? New train stations (perhaps even a new rail line!), quicker bus rides, safer street designs and more dedicated cycling paths. Families with young children, expectant mothers, the elderly, and those with special needs will also be glad to hear that we are making our transport system even more inclusive, with priority queues and priority cabin trials being rolled out. The land transport system belongs to everyone. Let's work together to make it more pleasant and enjoyable for all!

#Guesswhere we are? I spent an afternoon with Channel 8’s Hello Singapore host Vincent Lim, travelling *around* Singapore using walk, cycle and ride modes. Stay tuned for a special Hello Singapore episode on 28 May, Tuesday, 7pm! #walkcycleride #ltmp2040 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxed8fYnAD5/?igshid=16x2ozbv1o7vx

What does it take for Singapore to have 20 min neighbourhoods, and become a 45 min city? How should we re-design our streets to achieve this? What role should we play as commuters to inculcate a gracious and caring commuter culture, where we look out for our fellow commuters? Catch my discussion with Hao FM's 老总 Group Chat on the Land Transport Masterplan 2040. We have heard from more than 7,400 Singaporeans on what they want to see in our future land transport system. Their views have shaped the LTMP Advisory Panel’s recommendations, which will be submitted to the government in the next few days.

Joined Mayor Low Yen Ling in an ‘intergenerational’ bus ride around Choa Chu Kang on Bus Service 301 last Friday, together with seniors and students from South West district. A great opportunity for the two groups of commuters to get to know each other better! Better mutual understanding contributes to a more gracious, caring and inclusive public transport culture, which leads to a more pleasant journey experience. Looking forward to more of such ground-up initiatives. Let’s make Walk Cycle Ride the preferred way to travel. #LTMP2040 https://www.instagram.com/p/BrSSsezBajp/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ehw4wnw52l55

I run regularly - and I share the pathways with fellow joggers, PMD riders, elderly having their morning strolls and other users. How can we look out for each other on our shared roads and paths? Joined LTA and 50 participants for a focus group discussion last weekend and heard many interesting ideas on we can share our transport spaces. Infrastructure is key, but making our Walk Cycle Ride journeys safe will require all of us to play our part. We need to do more to build a “safety culture”, and we must start young – schools, families, young children. In land-scarce Singapore, we may have diverse needs, but let’s work together to develop a gracious culture for all.
