让乘客有安全旅程 许文远吁坐公交“别说话”！
交通部呼吁民众在目前的抗疫行动期间，减少不必要的出门行程，在巴士和地铁中不要说话或“咬耳朵”，且避免在高峰时段乘坐公共交通工具。
新加坡基础建设部兼交通部长许文远周一（3月23日）巡视汤申-东海岸线（Thomson-East Coast Line，缩写TEL）的光明山地铁站时，促请民众考虑采用一些方式，以便大幅度减少高峰期的流量。
他敦促生病的通勤者不要使用公共交通工具，而且要戴上口罩出门求医。
他还促请通勤者在疫情期间减少不必要的出行。“公交通勤者也尽量不要在车厢内说话，或者小声说话，让大家有一个安全的旅程。”相信这也是为了减少飞沫传染的可能性。
通过实施交错、灵活的工作时间安排和远程办公，雇主也能协助减少高峰期的人流量。
“实际上，通过节省出行时间，我们有更多工作时间。”
他也希望灵活性工作安排可以在疫情后，成为永久性安排。“这能够减少高峰时段的需求，以及减少我们增加列车和线路的压力，更能够节省很多纳税人的钱财。”
第二阶段的汤东线，包括光明山地铁站将于今年开放。
首阶段的汤东线，包括兀兰北部、兀兰和兀兰南部在内的9个地铁站，将于4月3日至7月26日进行试跑，于周五、周末和周日晚上10时关闭，而周末和周日早上6时30分开放。
