965Singapore Government35993SingaporeSingaporeC402014Transport > Improve the accessibility to public transit systemsTransportImprove the accessibility to public transit systemsImproving transport connectivity As part of the Singapore’s Land Transport Master Plan 2013, the Government will create more connections through the construction of two new rail lines and three new extensions. The rail network will be expanded every year from now till 2021, with more to come between 2020 and 2030. By 2030, the rail network will have doubled from the existing 178km to about 360km, and 8 in 10 homes will be located within a 10-minute walk from a train station. In addition, buses will connect commuters to even more places, with new bus routes added to our bus network. We are adding about 40 new bus services under the Bus Service Enhancement Programme (BSEP). To improve the overall experience of commuters, especially in the first and last legs of their journeys, the Government will also be building more than 200km of sheltered walkways. More integrated transport hubs will also be built to enable commuters to switch between different types of transport easily, with convenient access to retail, dining and other lifestyle services. For cyclists, the island-wide cycling path network will eventually be well over 700km in length.(51.9055346°, 4.4742753°)(1.352083°, 103.819836°)
