A free shuttle bus service in Marine Parade saw hot debate in parliament, after opposition MPs questioned the source of its funding, and whether such service was fair to residents of other districts. Minister of State for Culture, Community and Youth Alvin Tan said the service costs around $1 million a year to operate, of which a fifth is covered by a one-off government grant. The service covers seven routes operated by seven buses. Mr Tan said over 10,000 residents have registered for the service, of which over 40% are aged 65 and above. About 1,000 residents use the service weekly.
