Written answers

The success of bus priority measures is an essential component in persuading people to switch from their cars to public transport, thereby reducing emissions and congestion. It is therefore necessary to ensure that we have the best possible system for enforcement of the rules on bus corridors, particularly in the context of BusConnects.

Officials in my Department are engaging with the National Transport Authority and other stakeholders to see how this can best be achieved.
