LTA to call tender to install 3,000 bicycle parking lots at 28 MRT stations

SINGAPORE'S Land Transport Authority (LTA) will be issuing a tender to install 3,000 parking lots at 28 MRT stations.

They will be installed at train stations in housing estates including Pioneer, Bukit Gombak, Sembawang, Hougang, Marymount and Pasir Ris, said LTA in a release on Wednesday afternoon.

In addition, the new Downtown Line 3 (DTL3) stations will also be outfitted with 1,700 bicycle parking lots in total, said LTA.

Stations that are likely to see more cyclist traffic such as Tampines station, an interchange station connecting the East-West Line and Downtown Line, will be outfitted with more parking lots.

Other than bicycle parking lots, LTA has also added 34 new bicycle parking zones at existing MRT stations and bus stops, which can accommodate 1,400 bicycles in total.
