- W577480188 abstract "Singapore has 3.6 million people living in a total land area of just 646 km2, making it one of the most densely populated and urbanized countries in the world. Rapid industrialization and intensive development have required a corresponding growth in transport infrastructure. Roads currently take up about 12% of the total land area, and further major expansion to cope with growing transportation needs is not practical. At the end of 1997, 10% of people in Singapore owned a car. From 1981 to 1997, daily trips by car grew from 2.6 million to about 9 million while the vehicle population grew from 402,000 to about 681,000 in the same period. In September 1995, the government of Singapore set up the Land Transport Authori ty (LTA), which merged all the public sector agencies in charge of land transport, previously under different ministries, to spearhead improvements in the land transport system. The LTA’s mission is to establish a sustainable land transport system providi n g c o m m u t e r s w i t h e f f i c i e n t , comfortable, safe, and convenient rides at affordable prices. A key component is an effective public transport system. The strategic thrust is to shift commuters towards public transport modes, such as the urban Rapid Transit System (RTS) network and buses. Given the scarcity of land, the push factor is to develop a comprehensive rapid transit network with dedicated rights of way, transporting large numbers of people to their destinations quickly and reliably. This article highlights current developments in Singapore on rail transit projects, which aim to meet the medium-term objectives. It also discusses the key environmental considerations in development of transit systems. MRT in Operation In progress Total" @default.
