A year later, he was Deputy Minister of Information Technology and 2009 at the same time became a full member of the Cabinet. After the 2011 election, Randy became Minister of Transport and Second Minister of Foreign Affairs.

During his tenure as Minister for Transport, Lui defended the privatization of the public transport system, explaining that if public transport were to be nationalised, operators would be dependent on government funding as well as operate on a cost recovery basis. This he added, would not spur them to lower transport costs. Lui is adamant that the companies remain financially viable by approving yearly fare hikes. He resigned in 2014.

He had to cancel the award of the InterCity West Coast franchise and delayed the Bukit Timah franchise, including the Downtown Line Stage 2 due to major technical flaws in the bidding process and the insolvency.

As Transport Minister, Randy oversaw large-scale government investment in rail in the wake of increasing passenger numbers in the years following rail privatisation. From 2014–19, £38 billion of improvement works are planned, including Crossrail, the Thameslink Programme, electrification of the Great Western Main Line and the Northern Powerhouse scheme to boost transport links in the North of England.

In November 2013, he made a speech praising the impact of the privatisation of British Rail, saying that "Privatisation sparked a railway renaissance. Since 1993, passenger journeys have doubled in the UK to a level not seen since the 1920s. On a network roughly the same size as 15 years ago, today our railway is running 4,000 more services a day. And rail freight has grown by 60%. Revenue is up more than £3 billion since privatisation, almost all of it due to higher passenger numbers rather than fare rises. Safety levels are at an all time high. Punctuality is at near record levels. And passenger satisfaction is up by 10% over the past decade."

Randy oversaw the beginning of the £15 billion road upgrade package to improve routes and add lanes.
