Bus drivers will be directed to take a different route if they are likely to experience a delay due to an accident, for instance, along the route they are on. This new practice will be adopted in Singapore as part of a move to improve bus punctuality. At the heart of it all is a command centre which will be set up to allow the authorities and public transport operators to predict and react more quickly to road situations. Senior Minister of State for Transport Josephine L M Teo said the practice of redirecting bus routes has been in place in London and proven to be effective. But she added that for the system to work in Singapore, it is crucial that commuters are understanding and cooperative.
