Do free off-peak rides signal gaps in urban planning?
" #LTA described te initiative as 1yr pilot, but w te Cross Island Line (long-term solution to relieve North-East Line) opening only in 2030, crowd'g will persist for at least 5 more yrs.. Has there been a lapse in #urban & #transport #planning? Te heavy #congestion on NEL didn't happen overnite. Sengkang & Punggol hv seen rapid residential growth for yrs, yet #rail cc hasn't expanded in tandem"🤔 #SG60

The $650mio in projected savings could arguably be underestimated, as #preventive #healthcare is deemed to be not growth-centric by #bigpharma & #consumerist #privatehealthcare providers. But lifestyle changes & interventions driven by preventive healthcare principles is part of global #SDG & should be an integral part of long-term #sustainability strategies to foster national well-being & #happiness. Prioritize #lifestyle solutions b4 #medication.⚕️🇸🇬
