The Land Transport Authority delivered 16km of new routes to create a continuous 42km active mobility grid across the northern region. Cyclists and pedestrians can now more easily access vital destinations like Woodlands Waterfront Park, Republic Polytechnic, and the Woodlands Health Campus. Infrastructure enhancements accompanying the rollout include 44 upgraded bus stops that allow riders to bypass transit commuters safely. Moving forward, a planned 9km addition starting in 2027 will further integrate the area with the upcoming cross-border RTS Link station.
