LTA to buy 100 3-door buses

They will be deployed on the road in 2020.

The Land Transport Authority (LTA) called a tender today to purchase 100 three-door buses.

According to an announcement, LTA will purchase 100 three-door buses which will be deployed on the road in 2020. "This will allow LTA to better assess suitability for fleet-wide implementation, and also replace ageing buses in the fleet," it said.

As part of the earlier trials, a three-door double-deck bus was operated by Tower Transit on Service 143 from March to September last year and a three-door single-deck bus was operated by SMRT on Service 190 and Service 901 from June 2017 to January 2018.

LTA noted that commuters welcomed the additional door on the buses as it made boarding and alighting from buses smoother and quicker. "To further improve commuter flows and shorten journey times, LTA will explore feasible improvements to the current bus designs with bus suppliers," the agency said.

According to a previous announcement, LTA worked with two bus operators Tower Transit Singapore (TTS) and SMRT, to conduct the study over a six-month period. Both buses are designed by ST Kinetics and will include user-friendly features such as passenger information display system, USB ports, and wheelchair space.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
