#PSA We’ve just signed a Memorandum of Understanding (#MOU) with Taipei Rapid Transit Corporation (TRTC), SMRT Trains Limited and SBS Transit Ltd. 📝🤝

The MOU will facilitate collaboration and exchange of knowledge related to the rail sector, as well as sharing of best practices and innovations on global public transport issues.

The MOU was signed at the Rail Excellence Advisory Panel (REAP) meeting which is a platform to facilitate sharing of experience and expertise along local and overseas rail experts with the intent to improve rail reliability. 🚇
#PSA We will bring forward the guaranteed deregistrations of 5-year non-extendable Cat D COEs to reduce quota supply volatility from this quarter onwards. 🏍

The #COE quota for Feb 2024 to Apr 2024 will be 14,707, 2% higher than last quarter.

More details above.
#PSA 📢 To facilitate construction works for the Jurong Region Line 🚄 (#JRL), there will be temporary road closures at the following locations & time periods:

🚧 Jurong West Street 75
📅 16 Feb 2024 to end-2024, on selected nights*
11pm to 5.30am

🚧 Jurong East Central
📅 2 Mar 2024 to end-2024, on selected nights*
12.30am to 5.30am

🚍 Some bus services will need to be diverted because of the work schedules. However, existing accesses to carparks and developments will not be affected.

More details about the road closures and affected bus services can be found in our visuals above.

Do look out for road signs in the vicinity regarding these closures and the alternative routes you can take. Remember to plan your journeys in advance too. 📱

(*These road closures are scheduled on selected nights with low traffic volume to minimise inconveniences to the public, while balancing the need to provide working space and time to conduct critical works safely.)
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 📢🚇 As announced at #COS2024, the BPLRT will resume dual loop operations during off-peak hours on Saturdays from 16 Mar 2024.
 
BPLRT services will also be adjusted from 22 Mar to 30 Jun 2024, for testing of new trains and systems.
 
Do refer to the visual for these updates.
#PSA As announced during #COS2024, improvement works will be carried out from this month until end 2024 on the platforms of Sengkang LRT to improve commuter flow.
 
During the period of improvement works, there will be no change to how commuters board and alight the LRT.
#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. 🚇🧡
#PSA We will redistribute the Cat E Temporary COEs that expired between Jan to Mar 2024 to Cat A, B and C in proportion to their respective contributions to Cat E.

The #COE quota for May to Jul 2024 is 15,104, 3% higher than last quarter.
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 From 27 May to 23 June 2024, the #ERP rates will be reduced at the following locations and time periods during the June school holidays.

Pre-school holiday rates will be reinstated from 24 June 2024 onwards. The rates for other gantries remain unchanged.

#PSA We’ve awarded the contract for the design and construction of Turf City station (working name) and tunnels under the Cross Island Line (#CRL) Phase 2 to Shanghai Tunnel Engineering Co (Singapore) – Obayashi Corporation Joint Venture. Construction works are expected to start in Q3 2024. 🚧

When CRL2 starts operating in 2032, commuters can save up to 25 minutes in their estimated travel time when commuting from Turf City to Pasir Ris Central! 🤩🚇

#DidYouKnow Before commencing excavation and construction works for the station structure 🏗, earth retaining and stabilising structures will be installed to ensure safety and ground stability.
#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.
