Hurray! We’ve just announced that there’ll be a Friendly Street in ✨ every town ✨ to create safer, more convenient and enjoyable journeys for everyone by 2030! 🎉🌞

Here’s a quick #TLDR of what went down earlier at the groundbreaking event and a sneak peek on some of the features (and faces 😉) coming to #FriendlyStreets.

If you’re nearby, come check out our exhibition located at Blk 377A, Bukit Batok St 31!

#ICYMI - We will be starting construction works for the first of five #FriendlyStreets pilot locations! 🎉 This will make daily commutes in our ‘hoods more convenient, safer, and inclusive for everyone - especially for families with children, seniors, and those with mobility needs.

Each neighbourhood will have features co-created with the community, catering to the unique needs of each town. Such features include:

☀️ More barrier-free crossings to improve accessibility;
☀️ Longer crossing times at signalised junctions; and
☀️ Traffic-calming measures e.g. road humps or narrowing road lanes to slow motorists down.

#DidYouKnow By 2030, there’ll be a Friendly Street in ✨ every town ✨? Be sure to look out for these cheerful designs and vibrant colours in your Friendly Street! ☀️😎💖

Here’s a #FriendlyReminder for smoother journeys.

#AvoidMultipleCharges 🙅‍♂️ by removing your fare card from your wallet before tapping in and out.

When you tap in with your entire wallet, the fare reader may read the wrong card and charge you incorrectly. 💸
