Private vehicle journeys declined for the first time since 1997, even as total travel demand increased by 5%, to 15.4 million journeys, according to the latest Household Interview Travel Survey (HITS) 2012.
In releasing the findings on Friday (31st August), the Land Transport Authority (LTA) said this points to a possible shift and that Singapore residents are switching from private vehicles to public transport for their daily commute.
During the morning peak, public transport's share hit 67% in 2016 - up from 63% in 2012. This puts Singapore 'firmly on track to achieving our Land Transport Master Plan 2013 target of having 75% of all journeys during peak hours made using public transport by 2030', the LTA said.
