Changes to bus lane operating hours from April

SINGAPORE : There will be changes to the bus lane operation hours from April 2007.
The Land Transport Authority will be extending the full day bus lane scheme to other areas in the Central Business District, namely Eu Tong Sen Street, Hill Street, Victoria Street, Bras Basah Road and Somerset Road.
The weekday bus lane operation hours of 4.30pm to 7pm will be changed to 5pm to 8pm.
The bus lane operations on Saturdays will cease at all locations, except where full day bus lanes are in effect.
And in another move, more niche bus services are in the works.
The Public Transport Council is currently reviewing guidelines for this premium bus service.
These measures were announced by Transport Minister Raymond Lim on Monday evening at the opening ceremony of the new Fort Canning Tunnel.
The three-lane tunnel took nearly three and half years to build and was constructed at a cost of $34 million.
The tunnel will be opened to the public from 6am on January 16.
It will lead from Stamford Road to Penang Lane. There will be an ERP gantry at the end of the tunnel. - CNA /ls
