Construction firms look to cost savings with their transport capacity for workers back to normal

Singapore

THE lifting of the 25 per cent reduction in maximum passenger capacity (MPC) for transportation provided by employers, such as private buses, vans and lorries, comes as a breath of fresh air to players in the construction industry, who said that this will help reduce transportation costs and improve productivity.

On Monday, the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) and the Land Transport Authority (LTA) said in an updated advisory that each lorry and van with a clear deck area can now carry up to the maximum number of workers stated on their MPC label.
