Public feedback is being sought to improve the safety of public buses following a recent spate of accidents involving these vehicles.
In a Facebook post on Aug 23, Minister of State for Transport Murali Pillai encouraged Singaporeans to share their frank feedback, which he said would help the authorities find solutions that would “benefit bus captains, commuters and other road users”. “In the months ahead, the task force will be engaging different stakeholders, including commuters and bus captains, for their views on what more we can do to improve bus safety,” Mr Murali wrote on Facebook.
The Government had said previously that the number of serious accidents involving public buses has remained stable each year over the past few years. There were 75 such accidents in the first five months of 2024, compared with 207 in the whole of 2023 and 207 in the whole of 2022.Mr Murali also pointed out that the number of workplace injuries for rail and bus operations has dropped.
