#Update Track works along the #EWL to connect to the new #ECID are now complete, and testing is underway. 🛤️

Here’s a sneak peek 👀 onboard a test train today as we prepare to resume train services soon! 🔜🚆

Today, we unveiled 10 more #FriendlyStreets locations! This will make neighbourhoods safer, more inclusive and comfortable for residents, especially the elderly, families with children, and those with mobility needs. 👨🏻‍🦽

Some of the pedestrian-friendly features include:
🚶🏻 Kerbless crossings
🚦 Longer green man time at signalised crossings, and
🚗 Green road markings to alert drivers to slow down

Construction will progressively begin from 1H 2025, with completion expected by 2026.

#Update We’ve also completed 4 out of 5 of our Friendly Streets pilot towns - Ang Mo Kio, Bukit Batok West, Toa Payoh, and West Coast. Works in Tampines will be completed by Mar 2025.

📍One Holland V (Atrium)
📆 14 - 19 Jan 2025

📸 Check out some pictures from the event today!

#Update We’ve completed track works! ✨ To support the next phase of train testing, shuttle train frequencies between Paya Lebar and Bedok will need to be reduced from 4-8 Dec (Thu-Mon):

🚆 Peak hours: every 8 minutes
🚆 Off-peak: up to 17 minutes (between Kembangan–Bedok)

You may also take regular bus services or connect via other MRT lines such as the Downtown Line 🔵 or Circle Line 🟠.

⏰ Please plan ahead and set aside extra travel time.

Thank you for your understanding! 🚌💚🚝

#Update: We’ve completed track works to link the #EWL to the new #ECID and Tanah Merah station platform. 🙌🚆

We’ll be testing the new tracks in the coming days, after which service will resume.

#Update on the technical issue affecting the Expected Time of Arrival (ETA) system for buses.

We’ll be resetting the ETA system from 8pm today, 21 Jan. During this period, commuters can’t see bus arrival timings at bus stops, interchanges and on mobile apps.

Rest assured, buses will continue to operate at their usual frequencies. Commuters who wish to check the frequency can refer to the websites of SimplyGo and the Public Transport Operators (PTOs).

We’re sorry for the inconvenience caused. We’re working to resolve the issue as soon as possible, and will update once the ETA system is restored.

#Update We’ve found the root cause of the intermittent transmission issue affecting the Expected Time of Arrival (#ETA) system for buses.

Our engineers and contractor detected that a memory cache build-up in the on-board systems was disrupting data transmission in about 50% of buses across all operators.

We’ve started reconfiguring the system and clearing the cache, which includes physical servicing of onboard bus devices. As this is a large scale effort, we estimate it will take around 4 days to complete.

From the start of passenger service tomorrow, 23 Jan, we’ll switch on the ETA system to conduct testing and stabilise the operations. During this period, commuters will see more than 60% of bus arrival timings, though some may be inaccurate as the system is still under testing. This should gradually become less common as we progressively restore the system.

Bus services will continue running at normal frequencies.

Thank you for your patience while we resolve this issue.

#Update on the restoration of bus Expected Time of Arrival (#ETA) system

✅ 85% of bus arrival timings will be restored by tomorrow morning, following the completion of manual firmware updates for the 3000 affected buses.

We’ve also identified another 1000 buses that require similar updates, which will be carried out over the next week, after service hours.

Thank you for your patience and understanding while we resolve this issue. Rest assured, bus services will continue to run at normal frequencies.

#Update Bus arrival time predictions have now been restored to above 90% 🚌

✅ Since 21 Jan, we’ve been working with the contractor to restore the system’s performance, which included clearing the memory cache and and manually updating firmware on all affected buses. In some cases, the transmitters were also replaced.

👀 Commuters can check bus arrival timings at bus stops and interchanges, as well as on the MyTransport.SG app and other third-party apps.

We have also started upgrading the fare and bus fleet management systems, which will be completed over the next two years.

We thank commuters for your patience and understanding during this period.

#Update: We’ve completed track works to disconnect Changi Depot from the East-West Line (#EWL)! 👷‍♂️🚆

We are currently doing tests to resume train services between Tanah Merah and Expo. 🟢🚧

Join us on the first test train ride! 🙌

🚄 #Update We've been informed by RTSO that the Johor Bahru-Singapore Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link is now expected to commence passenger service in Feb 2027. 🗓️

🛠️ Infrastructure works in both Singapore and Malaysia are substantially complete.

RTS Operations Pte Ltd (RTSO) currently expects to complete its final system tests and trial runs by 31 Dec 2026.

Passenger service can only commence after RTSO subsequently obtains:
📝 Safety certification from an independent safety assessor and;
📝 Regulatory approvals

We will continue to work closely with RTSO and the relevant stakeholders to facilitate the smooth and safe delivery of the project.
