The document discusses land transport challenges and development in Singapore. It outlines Singapore's vision for a people-centered land transport system and its three strategic thrusts: making public transport the choice mode, managing road usage, and meeting diverse needs. Key initiatives include expanding the rapid transit system, centralized bus route planning, and developing integrated transport hubs.
