New Guidelines Issued for Last-Mile Deliveries in Singapore
What happened
The Land Transport Authority and the Urban Redevelopment Authority issued new recommendations for last-mile food and parcel deliveries in malls, offices, and condos in Singapore. The guidelines call for providing facilities such as dedicated parking spaces and collection points. Delivery riders welcomed the guidelines, which aim to ease hassles like illegal parking and waiting time. However, experts and condo management noted that cost, security, and resident expectations could pose obstacles to implementation.
