🚗📡 #OBUUpdates From October 2026, you might start noticing new road markings and signage on our roads!
These are part of preparation for the transition to satellite-based ERP 2 from 1 Jan 2027, when existing ERP gantries will be progressively removed. These new road markings and signage will help motorists identify ERP charging locations. 🛣️
Here's what to look out for:
🔵 Two oval blue 'ERP' symbols on each lane of arterial and slip roads
🔵 Three oval blue 'ERP' symbols on each lane of expressways
🪧 A new "ERP Charge Zone" road sign at the start of each ERP charging location
These visual cues will complement OBU notifications, which will alert you before entering an ERP charging location, provide information on prevailing charges, and indicate the amount charged.
📱 Stay tuned for more updates as we prepare for a smooth transition to ERP 2! ✨

👮 #DidYouKnow All licensed foreign cross-border taxis must install the ERP 2 on-board unit (#OBU)?
🚨 The OBU helps us detect and take action against foreign taxis that illegally provide domestic trips in Singapore.
This helps protect the livelihoods of local drivers, while supporting safe and convenient cross-border connectivity for commuters.
Between May and Jul 2026, we used ERP 2 data to detect 60 instances of suspicious behaviour involving 31 unique foreign vehicles. The drivers were contacted and reminded of their offences.
⚠️ From Sep 2026, we will commence formal enforcement action against foreign cross-border taxis offering illegal ride-hailing trips in Singapore.

🎉👷🏻♂️ Our teams worked round the clock over the past months to complete linking the new reception tracks to the main #SPLRT line ahead of schedule.
✅ With the expanded SPLRT depot now connected, look forward to smoother rides as more 3rd Generation Light Rail Vehicles (LRVs) progressively enter service.
As normal LRT services have resumed, we’ve ceased operations for shuttle buses A and B.

This Week in Transport 🚶🚴🚌🚇🚗 – 8 Oct 2026
1️⃣ Promoting Safer Roads, Paths & Rides
The Land Transport & Related Matters (No. 2) Bill was passed in Parliament yesterday, introducing amendments across 5 key areas.
➡️ Learn more: go.gov.sg/ltrm-bill
2️⃣ Relocation of Bus Services to Sengkang Bus Interchange
🛠️ From 31 Oct 2026, bus services 80, 86, 87, 372 and 374 will return to Sengkang Bus Interchange.
This means that services 372 & 374 will no longer stop at the Sengkang Square temporary bus stop (67689). This temporary bus stop will be reinstated as a Pick-Up/Drop-Off point (G18).
3️⃣ Tender Call for Rail Dampers on TEL
As part of our efforts to reduce rail noise on the Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL), we’ll be calling a tender to install rail dampers at locations where higher noise levels have been observed due to the tight curvature of the tracks.

🚗 Update on COE Review! 🚗
#ICYMI We’ve been engaging vehicle owners, industry representatives and members of the public as part of our review of the COE system.
With the price gap between COE Categories A and B narrowing, we’re seeking your views on how we can better distinguish between mass-market and higher-value cars.
💡 Here’s what we’re proposing:
1️⃣ Merge COE Categories A and B into a single passenger car category.
2️⃣ Introduce a fee-and-rebate (“feebate”) system based on car values, so that buyers of higher-value cars continue to pay more than buyers of mass-market cars.
We’re also seeking views on possible adjustments to Category E.
➡️ Check out the graphics for more details, or read the full proposal at go.gov.sg/coe-public-consult.
🗣️ Have your say by 2 Nov 2026!
