Our green buses just got greener! 🚌🌿

Following the successful trial of two solar panel-fitted buses in 2021, Go-Ahead Singapore (GAS) will be deploying 50 more of such buses from now till end-Apr 2023! #WeAreWalkingOnSunshine ☀️😎

#FunFact Based on the trial, GAS was able to save 3-4% of fuel a year. This translates to an annual reduction of about 3.7-4 tonnes of carbon emissions per GAS bus. 😱 #GreenForTheWin 💚

Try catching one of these buses and #MoveLite with us! 🤗

Hurray! Today we mark the completion of our 29th & 30th #SilverZone at Clementi West Street 2 & West Coast Drive respectively! 🥳🤍 We are on track to roll out another 20 islandwide by 2025. 💪🏼
 
🛣🚶‍♂️ Aimed at enhancing pedestrian safety, especially for the elderly 👵🏻🧓🏼, roads in Silver Zones have special features such as:
 
Silver Zone Gateway Treatment
Traffic Calming Markings
Kerbless Crossings
Y-Junctions
Chicanes (aka S-shaped roads)
 
#FunFact - Each Silver Zone is unique & features vary by location. 🚗🛵 These features are all aimed at reminding motorists to slow down as well as to allow pedestrians to cross the road safely and conveniently. 
 
Wondering if there’s Silver Zone near you? Watch this video to find out! 🎥

Check out how our first ever, large diameter tunnel boring machine (#TBM) is assembled! 🤩

This TBM will be used in the construction of a two-track tunnel between the Cross Island Line (#CRL) Aviation Park and Loyang stations. 🚇🚧🚇

#FunFact With this TBM, our tunnelling works will be a lot more efficient – we can now construct a tunnel large enough to accommodate two rail tracks instead to having tunnel twice like we usually do! 💪

#PSA Exciting news for West Coast residents! You can look forward to reducing your travel time to Ang Mo Kio Industrial Park 2 by 40min when the Cross Island Line Phase 2 (#CRL2) is operational in 2032! 🤩

We’ve awarded the contract for the design and construction of CRL2 West Coast station and tunnels to Gamuda Berhad Singapore Branch. 🥳🚇 Construction works are expected to start in the first quarter of 2024. 🚧

#FunFact With almost half of its stations as interchanges with other rail lines, CRL will connect those living in western Singapore to major hubs such as #JurongLakeDistrict, #PunggolDigitalDistrict, and the #Changi region!
Our East-West Line (#EWL) trains can now turn around faster with the new Pasir Ris rail turnback! 🔁🚆💚

#FunFact The turnback uses a diamond crossover track to reduce the time taken for the trains to turn back and run in the other bound. #WhatAGem 💎

This means that the infrastructure is now in place to provide for reduced headways and shorter wait time between trains, when the need arises. 💪

Cheers to greater convenience and connectivity as we continue to improve our rail infrastructure! 🤗 #ThereRailBeMore
