Pedestrians who walk on bicycle paths should be charged in court, jailed 6months and fined $5000 (for repeat offenders)

This is because that is what electric scooters and hoverboard scooter users face for riding on the road.

What is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. Pedestrians who cannot follow rules, walk in the centre/ on the wrong side of the shared path, hog shared paths, walk abreast or stay stationary when others want to pass, look at screen while walking, engrossed in loud earphones music etc should also be arrested, their devices impounded and be heavily fined just as e-scooter users can be fined too...

Cyclists should be stuck in a room with child rapists, serial murderers and pedophiles. Then deliver some warm pipping gas into the room!

car pay paid a lot of taxes in form of : COE, carbon tax(road + petrol), GST, parking fees
bicycle pay what? ofo free $5 voucher?

Car taxes are to pay for driver's healthcare costs subsidy because many drivers even drive 500metres to destination, lack exercise and get diabetes etc.
Car taxes are to pay for other citizens healthcare costs because car exhaust that other citizens breathe makes them fall sick.
Pays for global warming compensation : everytime SAF sends food/ rescue team to ASEAN floods, typhoon rescue, its because internal combustion engines are most blame worthy for sea level rises and increasingly ferocious typhoon storms.
Taxes are for frequent road repairs because Singaporeans like to drive like daytona, so much acceleration and braking, road wear is increased and need to be repainted and resurfaced more frequently than planned. Expressways are also reserved for vehicles registered under COE scheme.
Road tax is because roads need to be very wide because cars take up so much space and need reserved space like car parks which are factored in when town planning but for 12hrs/day at least, remains vacant and unoccupied, these reserved spaces could be better used as parks, green lungs and other public spaces rather than unnecessary road / parking lot use.
Taxes are for maintenance of traffic light signal system since they allow higher flow of traffic vz direction etc coordination, not unreasonable for those who travel fastest to pay most.
Cars are common trade tools of terrorist and drunkards and much $$$ is utilized in performing comprehensive security checks and alcohol breathalyzer checks: these gahman service costs need to be raised through taxes on cars and other heavy vehicle traffic.
Cars are a luxury item and the gahmen has the right to tax luxuries to help poor people. Thus the need for ERP, COE, road tax, ARF, petrol duties, etc etc.

All PAP MPs should be made to take public transport.

I bet that after the experience they will improve bus & train services.

Guess the truth of the matter about transport in Singapore is that LTA has absolutely no clue what to do...

LTA issues grant calls, seeks solutions to S’pore’s transport challenges
By KENNETH CHENG
Published03 JANUARY, 2018

SINGAPORE — From mining data analytics to shorten public transport journeys, to optimising bus operations through modelling and simulation studies, the authorities announced on Wednesday (Jan 3) that they are seeking proposals to improve Singapore’s land transport system.

The two grant calls launched by the Land Transport Authority (LTA) invite the research community as well as the industry to put forward research-and-development proposals in four areas.

First, researchers are invited to tap data analytics to pinpoint bottlenecks and suggest fresh solutions to shorten journeys on public transport. Solutions could include new ticketing technologies that lessen the time needed to board and alight from buses, and dynamic lane markings to give buses priority on the roads, said the LTA.

Second, the LTA is seeking new ways to meet public-transport demand, particularly during peak periods, while making the best use of resources by leveraging existing ones or even cutting resource needs. The aim, said the authority, is to ensure that public transport remains affordable and preferred by commuters — for example, by using modelling and simulation studies to optimise bus operations.

Third, proposals are being sought for how Singapore’s roads — which form 12 per cent of the country’s land area — can be better used and how the solutions can be put in place. The proposals should pinpoint the “challenges or considerations for various urban typologies”, said the LTA.

These solutions are aimed at cutting back on road space, so that they can be reclaimed for other uses.

Lastly, the authority is calling for proposals on new ways to raise the accuracy of measuring bulk excavations of soil, which make construction of underground depots possible, for volumetric analysis.

“The volume of bulk excavation has to be tracked accurately to monitor the excavation rate and factors such as volume of good earth and soft clay,” the LTA explained.

It is also seeking a quick and reliable three-dimensional model of sites for record and data analysis.

The two grant calls are open to all research-and-development organisations in Singapore. These include publicly funded institutes of higher learning, not-for-profit research institutions, public-sector agencies, firms, and company-affiliated research entities.

Submissions close on Feb 21. More details are available on the LTA website or the Integrated Grant Management System portal.

my uncle say e scooters should not even be allowed in sg. he say want to ride on road ride a license class 2 bike if no license walk on path.

You are the manifestation of pure evil.

There should be dedicated pedestrian walkways, cyclists on them will be shot.
