Four drivers were booked in recent enforcement activity against those providing illegal cross-border chauffeured services between Singapore and Malaysia. 🚙🚗
 
We strongly discourage 🙅‍♂️ the public in engaging cross-border hire-and-reward services provided by persons using unlicensed vehicles as you may not be entitled to insurance recourse in the event of a traffic accident.
 
#Reminder Drivers who are caught providing hire-and-reward services, including cross-border services without a valid Public Service Vehicle License (#PSVL), can be fined up to $3,000, imprisoned for up to six months, or both. The vehicle used may also be forfeited.
#PSA We’ve just launched a Request for Proposal for a Master Plan consultancy to remake the surface streets along the North-South Corridor (#NSC)!

As we progressively complete the NSC’s tunnel and viaduct, surface streets along the corridor, such as Ang Mo Kio Avenue 6 and Ophir Road, can be repurposed (~30 football fields of space!) to give more priority for walking, cycling, buses, and community spaces. 🚴🏽‍♂️🚶🏻‍♀️🚌

#DoYouKnow that we’ve been engaging residents and other stakeholders on their ideas (see photos above!) for these spaces since July 2023? #NowYouKnow 🏘️👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

We’re now inviting experienced multi-disciplinary consultancy firms to develop a Master Plan to repurpose these spaces to promote #WalkCycleRide and make the streets along the corridor safer, more pleasant and welcoming for everyone!

Stay tuned for more details! 😎

Woohoo! We’re progressively rolling out 1,500 more pedestrian crossings with #GreenMan+ (GM+) card readers islandwide! 🥳🚦 Once completed by Q4 2027, this would bring our total number of GM+ readers to over 2,500! 🤯
 
👵👨‍🦯 With longer crossing times at more locations, the elderly pedestrians and Persons with Disabilities (#PwD) will get to travel around more comfortably when they tap their CEPAS-compliant Senior Citizen Concession Card or PwD Concession Card on the GM+ reader.
 
Look out for these GM+ readers in areas with high elderly population or at crossings that lead to amenities frequented by the elderly and PwDs. 🏘 Spread the word and stay tuned!

Hooray, we’ve just completed the first phase of the Singapore Rail Test Centre (#SRTC). Construction of the high speed test track in this facility is now completed and the track is ready for operation! 🙌🥳

Slated for completion in 2025, the SRTC is the first train testing facility in Southeast Asia and will be a comprehensive testing platform for multiple railway systems before they are deployed on the main line. 🚆⚙️ This will facilitate round-the-clock testing and free up limited engineering hours on operational lines for maintenance and renewal works – which is aimed at strengthening the reliability of our rail network! 🔧

#DidYouKnow We’ve begun testing and commissioning works for the first 2 Circle Line 6 (#CCL6) trains 🧡 at the facility. The SRTC is also designed and operated with sustainability in mind e.g. energy-saving equipment, solar panels, and a hybrid cooling system. #MyGoGreenFlags 💚
