All public buses will be wheelchair accessible by 2020, up from 64 per cent today, said Transport Minister Lui Tuck Yew in parliament on Monday.

This is one of the new transport initiatives under the new Land Transport Master Plan (LTMP) that was rolled out on 7 October.

The new LTMP maps out new transport initiatives in Singapore that will take effect in the next 10 to 15 years.

Other initiatives include expanding the country’s train line such as adding the Downtown Line, which will see the opening of six of its 12 stations by 22 December. The LTMP aims to reduce the public’s reliance on cars and improve mobility of commuters, including the elderly, via public transport.
