The Land Transport Authority (LTA) is studying the feasibility of introducing a higher-capacity Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system for Tuas South. LTA is evaluating BRT models used in other cities, including systems in Shanghai, Seoul and Curitiba, to determine which configuration could best fit Tuas South’s transport needs. The authority says the proposed BRT could use high-capacity buses or trackless trams, operating on dedicated lanes to improve reliability and speed. The system design being considered includes giving buses or trackless trams priority at junctions. LTA’s work focuses on determining the most suitable technical and operational approach for Tuas South, including how the service would function with dedicated infrastructure and traffic-management measures. While the study is centred on Tuas South, LTA indicates the concept could potentially be expanded beyond the area if the model proves feasible, with the results of the evaluation guiding any next steps for rollout.
