This means less emission of toxic air pollutants. This leads to less pollution and will improve the health and overall well-being of the citizens. ]]> 2022-07-19 06:54:56 UTC https://padlet.com/pad_humanities/qn7xnmq2vnlyudv3/wish/2245993476 https://padlet.com/pad_humanities/qn7xnmq2vnlyudv3/wish/2245994144 There are a lot of train stations and bus stops situated in many places, such that the amount of nodes in one area is a lot and therefore passengers are able to reach transport nodes without needing to travel very long or far distances. 
There used to be five nodes within a 6km route, but now it has expanded to approximately 200 nodes within a 6km route. ]]> 2022-07-19 06:56:20 UTC https://padlet.com/pad_humanities/qn7xnmq2vnlyudv3/wish/2245994144 https://padlet.com/pad_humanities/qn7xnmq2vnlyudv3/wish/2245994553 with increased public transport, the driving of cars and use of private transport are also indirectly discouraged. by expanding public transport, people are encouraged to take public transport, which therefore decreases the overall carbon emission and improves air quality.
currently, car sharing also helps to improve air quality by decreasing the amount of cars on the road. this is because more people are fitted into a car and lessens the amount of drivers hence less carbon emissions will be released into the air.
electric cars also help to decrease carbon emissions. unlike fuelled-cars, electric cars only require charging, and doesn't require petrol which is a fossil fuel.]]> 2022-07-19 06:57:03 UTC https://padlet.com/pad_humanities/qn7xnmq2vnlyudv3/wish/2245994553 https://padlet.com/pad_humanities/qn7xnmq2vnlyudv3/wish/2245994569 For private transport like taxis and cars, they can't really hold many passengers or items and have limited space. However, over the years Singapore has developed buses and trains that can hold a large amount of people and have stations all over Singapore which allows us to conveniently travel. Overtime, Singapore has built more double-decker buses that can hold more passengers compared to single-decker buses]]> 2022-07-19 06:57:04 UTC https://padlet.com/pad_humanities/qn7xnmq2vnlyudv3/wish/2245994569 https://padlet.com/pad_humanities/qn7xnmq2vnlyudv3/wish/2245995223 -Easily accessible, close by
-Many Bus stops
-MRT near clusters of facilities
-Just tap EZ link card to use
-Bus stops outside MRT stations 
-Easy access to many places around

By adding new lines ,train stations and more integrated transport hubs will allow for high efficiency for travel.]]> 2022-07-19 07:00:49 UTC https://padlet.com/pad_humanities/qn7xnmq2vnlyudv3/wish/2245996632 https://padlet.com/pad_humanities/qn7xnmq2vnlyudv3/wish/2245997003 there are more lanes dedicated for bus services and cyclists, this then enables for faster travel from one location to another. 

technologies are playing at bigger role in the frequency of the transport network. For example, on-demand buses will be something to look forward to in the future

Developing more MRT nodes and routes, providing more and easier access to different locations, allowing more opportunities for social interaction and economic trade]]> 2022-07-19 07:01:37 UTC https://padlet.com/pad_humanities/qn7xnmq2vnlyudv3/wish/2245997003 https://padlet.com/pad_humanities/qn7xnmq2vnlyudv3/wish/2245997123 we also have park connecters which allows cyclists to travel from one place to another.]]> 2022-07-19 07:01:54 UTC https://padlet.com/pad_humanities/qn7xnmq2vnlyudv3/wish/2245997123 https://padlet.com/pad_humanities/qn7xnmq2vnlyudv3/wish/2245997138 around 7000 people can fit in a mrt, 60-120 passengers can fit in a bus. approximately 3-4 trucks can fit in the unloading bay at the same time. Singapore is trying to increase its capacity of passengers in public transport by making it bigger in size and increasing its capacity of items it can move around, within shorter period of time.]]> 2022-07-19 07:01:57 UTC https://padlet.com/pad_humanities/qn7xnmq2vnlyudv3/wish/2245997138
