Enhancing Accessibility (MRT, Bus and Pedestrian Facilities)

Developments of the Mass Rapid Transport system (MRT) enable Singapore residents an tourists to travel in greater comfort,ease ans speed. Improving accessibility with transport infrastructure provide easier access to places that were once difficult to reach. The planning, construction and maintenance of the road network is overseen by the Land Transport Authority (LTA), and this extends to expressways in Singapore. These form key transport arteries between the distinct towns and regional centres as laid out in Singapore's urban planning, with the main purpose of allowing vehicles to travel from satellite towns to the city centre and vice-versa in the shortest possible distance. 


Public transport in Singapore covers a variety of transport modes such as bus,rail and taxi. This is the result of the great emphasis by the Government of Singapore in order to promote its use over private transport. About 5.308 million trips are made on a daily basis on the public transport system and at least half of its population utilizes it daily.
