During our recent enforcement operation, four drivers were caught providing ❌ illegal ❌ cross-border chauffeured services between Singapore and Malaysia.
#PSA We take these offences very seriously. For your own safety, do refrain from using such services. Besides being illegal, the vehicles used may not be sufficiently insured against third party liabilities which could pose a serious problem for passengers should an accident occur.
#Reminder Drivers who are caught providing illegal 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 To improve your commuting experience, we will be starting refurbishment of older escalators in #NSEWL ❤️💚 and #NEL 💜🚇 stations.
These escalators come with improved features like dual speed, which allows the escalators to operate at different speeds during peak and non-peak hours. ⏲🔁
🛠️ Works are expected to start in 2026 and complete in 2032. During the refurbishment, we will put in place measures to minimise inconvenience to commuters, such as carrying out works in stages. 🙏

#PSA We’re happy to update that the integration of the Circle Line (#CCL) with our existing rail network will be completed more than a month ahead of schedule! Thanks to the early completion, train services on the CCL will resume normal operations from this Sat, 6 Apr 2024. 🥳
#DidYouKnow that these works were initially expected to conclude in May? Thanks to the collective efforts by our engineers and operator to streamline and optimise work processes based on site conditions, as well as the additional resources put in by our contractors to support 24/7 operations, we could complete the track works in 77 days instead of 126 as originally planned. 🛠️🗓️ This has allowed us to go back to business as usual and reduce the inconvenience to commuters. ⏰
A big #ThankYou to all commuters for your patience as we continue to work hard to improve everyone’s rail journeys. 🚇🧡

As we progress with the phased installation of the OBU for ERP 2.0, we have been making enhancements to provide motorists with more choice, convenience, and safety.
Here're some options you can have about the installation of your OBU.
#PSA For those of you who are wondering about whether the OBU would drain your car battery, the short answer is no. When the vehicle ignition is turned off, the OBU will also switch to sleep mode, which is even lower than the power drawn by the IU today.

#PSA We’ve just approved 4️⃣ sandbox trials for battery charging and swapping system (BCSS) for electric heavy goods vehicles (eHGVs) and mobile charging systems (MCS).
The BCSS sandbox has been awarded to PSA Corporation and a consortium comprising Strides Frontiers Pte Ltd and Ecoswift Pte Ltd to provide battery swapping services for eHGVs. 🚛⚡️ These trials will allow LTA to better understand the technical and operational requirements of BCSS technologies. The resulting insights may be incorporated in upcoming reviews of our national EV charging standard, Technical Reference 25 (#TR25).
To assess the viability of mobile EV charging services, we have also awarded the MCS sandbox to Power-Up Tech Pte Ltd and Beecharge Innovation Group Pte Ltd. 🔌🔋These trials will similarly provide insights into the usage patterns for MCS and allow the industry to demonstrate the safety aspects of their solutions.
