Call for national transport agency

Prof Kishore Mahbubani, Dean of the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, suggested creating a new agency and calling it the Public Transport Board at his keynote speech at the Land Transport Authority (LTA) Future Mobility Symposium.

NUS, NTU and SIT also inked agreements with the LTA at the Symposium for transport research centres to be set up at the three universities to beef up expertise and innovation in geotechnical engineering. A 12-member LTA Research Advisory Panel, chaired by Prof Ho Teck Hua, NUS Deputy President (Research & Technology), has also been formed to recommend research directions and objectives, and provide a sense of emerging transport mobility issues.
