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 💚

It’s bigger, bolder, better! It’s the new Electronic Display Sign format for our buses! 🚌ℹ️👍

The new display shows a single bus number for commuters to identify the bus service more easily, especially for the elderly and people with slight visual impairments. It’ll alternate between the current display which shows the bus number, destination and route, so commuters can get the best of both worlds! 💯

Keep a lookout as we roll out this new format progressively on our buses islandwide from 6 Nov 2023! 🤩

Check out the key takeaways above.👆
We’re aware of the #BuzzOnTheGround following recent announcement of the phased installation of the On-Board Unit (#OBU) under #ERP 2.0.

These views mostly fall into five categories:

1️⃣ Do we really need to move to ERP2.0 since the current system is still working well?

2️⃣ Why did we choose satellite-based technology and is it future proof?

3️⃣ Why not use the one-piece motorcycle OBU for cars?

4️⃣ Can we replace the entire ERP system with a smart phone solution?

5️⃣ Can you integrate ERP2.0 with my car infotainment system?

Check out the visuals above to get these #FAQs answered.
