Lui Tuck Yew's full FB posting:

Once again, let me thank you all for your feedback and comments. Some of you have taken the time and trouble to suggest various ways to improve our public transport system. I appreciate and take them seriously.

In recent days, there were a number of announcements regarding our rail network. More trains and improvements to the Bukit Panjang LRT, the opening of the remaining 12 stations on the Circle line, additional trains to be purchased for the NSEW lines, SBST adding more than 490 weekly trips to the LRTs in Sengkang and Punggol. Later this week, SMRT will share their plans to add more train trips to improve frequencies during off-peak hours.

We have other plans to purchase more trains (which we will announce soon) and to improve and extend our rail network over the medium to long term. However, these will take time. My primary and immediate concern is the commuters’ daily experience. The sensible thing to do, which is also a consistent feedback I get, is that we need to improve our bus services; this can be implemented more quickly and will provide some relief in the next few years until the ongoing works to significantly increase rail capacity is completed.

I have therefore asked LTA to do a comprehensive review of our current bus service levels. The review will focus on what commuters need – improve bus capacity and congestion levels, frequency and reliability. The goal is clear – reduce waiting time, increase the predictability of bus journey times, improve our chances of getting onboard and provide better information to commuters.

As part of this review, LTA and the PTC will work with the operators to raise the current Quality of Service (QoS) standards further. Once the review is completed, the PTOs will need to follow through to provide better service delivery to meet the higher standards that commuters are looking for. PTC will also need to audit and regulate more tightly to ensure these standards are met. I envisage the PTOs having significantly more buses (and bus captains) added to the existing fleet of about 4000 buses. We will also need to study carefully how Government can help the operators grow their bus fleet and captains in a sustainable manner.

This comprehensive review will take some time and I have set LTA a target to have this completed by the 4th quarter of this year, together with a robust plan of action. It will also take some 12-18 months to get the new buses and, in the meantime, recruit and train more bus captains.

But this is not good enough. My preference is to bring about some quick improvements on the ground. Therefore, I have asked LTA to work with the operators to allow some of the older buses which are nearing the end of their planned lifespan to be extended on a temporary basis, provided the operators and LTA ensure that the buses are road-worthy and safety is not compromised. I estimate that this measure will add about 5-6% of the fleet capacity until the arrival of the new buses. It is a more immediate measure which I’m confident will allow us to improve the current service levels in areas where they are most needed.

How can you help? I encourage you to continue with the feedback you have been providing to the Grassroot Organisations and the LTA’s community relations officers on issues you encounter in your local area. This will be helpful to the LTA so they can carry out verifications and prioritise areas for improvements in the review.

then they must go thru the COE bidding and as such? or can suka suka extend?
 
I for one say its ok to re-use scrapped buses only if they re-do the interior and make sure that all the components etc. steering, are all in 100% working condition. Good for the environment cos less resources is pulled from the earth to create another bus.

Don't expect anything good coming out from these paper generals with zero experience in starting and running a business in tough competition environment. These fuckers are nothing but balls-carrier of LKY.
