#WhileYouWereSleeping As part of our ongoing efforts to maintain a high level of operational readiness in our public transport network, we conducted #ExerciseGreyhound, a joint ground deployment exercise for LTA to validate the rail operators’ contingency plans in the event of a train service disruption. 🚆📋
During the exercise, LTA, SBST and SMRT personnel simulated a multi-line train service disruption along the #TEL and #NEL at Outram Park MRT station. Station staff were deployed to assist commuters and bridging bus services were activated between affected stations.
Check out snippets of what went on last night in the photos above. 👆

Four drivers were booked in recent enforcement activity against those providing illegal cross-border chauffeured services between Singapore and Malaysia. 🚙🚗
We strongly discourage 🙅♂️ the public in engaging cross-border hire-and-reward services provided by persons using unlicensed vehicles as you may not be entitled to insurance recourse in the event of a traffic accident.
#Reminder Drivers who are caught providing 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 We’ve just launched a Request for Proposal for a Master Plan consultancy to remake the surface streets along the North-South Corridor (#NSC)!
As we progressively complete the NSC’s tunnel and viaduct, surface streets along the corridor, such as Ang Mo Kio Avenue 6 and Ophir Road, can be repurposed (~30 football fields of space!) to give more priority for walking, cycling, buses, and community spaces. 🚴🏽♂️🚶🏻♀️🚌
#DoYouKnow that we’ve been engaging residents and other stakeholders on their ideas (see photos above!) for these spaces since July 2023? #NowYouKnow 🏘️👨👩👧👦
We’re now inviting experienced multi-disciplinary consultancy firms to develop a Master Plan to repurpose these spaces to promote #WalkCycleRide and make the streets along the corridor safer, more pleasant and welcoming for everyone!
Stay tuned for more details! 😎

Woohoo! We’re progressively rolling out 1,500 more pedestrian crossings with #GreenMan+ (GM+) card readers islandwide! 🥳🚦 Once completed by Q4 2027, this would bring our total number of GM+ readers to over 2,500! 🤯
👵👨🦯 With longer crossing times at more locations, the elderly pedestrians and Persons with Disabilities (#PwD) will get to travel around more comfortably when they tap their CEPAS-compliant Senior Citizen Concession Card or PwD Concession Card on the GM+ reader. ⌚
Look out for these GM+ readers in areas with high elderly population or at crossings that lead to amenities frequented by the elderly and PwDs. 🏘 Spread the word and stay tuned!

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 💚
