SINGAPORE Cheap Curry Mens Shoes , Oct. 7 (Xinhua) -- Singapore is aiming to raise the proportion of public transport in the total number of trips made at peak hours to 70 percent by the end of this decade, Transport Minister Lui Tuck Yew said on Monday.

Announcing the launch of an updated land transport master plan, Lui said that the peak-hour public transport mode share has steadily rebounded from 59 percent in 2008 to 63 percent in 2012.

"Interestingly, more higher-income commuters appear to be choosing public transport Cheap Curry Womens Shoes , based on our travel survey," he said.

Lui said that private motoring cannot be the solution for cities in the 21st century. The number of cars in the world hit 1 billion in 2010, double the number in 2000, and experts predict that the number could double again by 2030.

For those living close to a train station, the rate of public transport usage increased from 65 percent in 2008 to 71 percent in 2012.

The latest survey covering 10,000 households showed that the daily number of journeys made by people in Singapore increased by 13 percent over the last five years to 12.5 million in 2012.

The daily number of trips made on public transport as a whole increased by 14 percent Cheap Curry 5 Shoes , with train trips growing 35 percent to 2. 3 million trips daily in 2012, and bus trips growing 3 percent to 3.2 million trips daily.

According to the updated master plan, Singapore is aiming to double its rail network to about 360 km by 2030 from the current 178 km, with eight in 10 homes located within a 10-minute walk from a train station.

The first stage of the Downtown Line rail network will open on Dec. 22 this year. When fully opened in 2017 Cheap Curry 4 Shoes , the 42-km line will be the longest fully underground driverless train system in Singapore.

The city state is also aiming for better commuter train and bus services with plans and incentives, including a quality incentive framework to improve regularity of bus waiting time by next year.

It is planning to give priority to buses on the road, and build or expand facilities including sheltered walkways and cycling path networks Cheap Curry 3 Shoes , the Land Transport Authority said.
