SINGAPORE - A new shuttle bus service will be rolled out from July 8 to connect residents living in areas such as Marine Parade and Joo Chiat to amenities including MRT stations, polyclinics and hawker centres.
Minister for Culture, Community and Youth Edwin Tong said the aim is to improve connectivity for residents in the various constituencies. The shuttle service in Joo Chiat, for instance, will include stops at Eunos Polyclinic, Marine Terrace MRT station, which opened on June 23 along with six other Thomson-East Coast Line stations, and Kembangan MRT station.Manpower Minister Tan See Leng said that besides improving accessibility to different areas, the initiative aims to encourage social connectivity among elderly residents, given Singapore’s ageing population.
