👋Come meet our Touchless Push Buttons that use *microwave-based* sensors to activate the Green Man at 4️⃣ of our pedestrian crossings! 🚦
🚶♀🏫 Located at crossings with high pedestrian traffic throughout the day (i.e. near key amenities like schools), these new microwave-based pedestrian sensors will be progressively rolled out and trialled for the next six months.
Check out the last frame to find out their locations and just wave your hands over the sensors to activate the Green Man! 👋
#DidYouKnow We also trialled infrared sensors to activate the Green Man at another 4️⃣ of our pedestrian crossings last year. We’ll be assessing the performance of these two types of sensors before finalising future plans. #StayTuned

Kudos to all winners of this year’s Public Transport Safety and Security Awards (#PTSSA) for their efforts in ensuring safety and security across our PT network! 🥳🎉
#DidYouKnow The PTSSA comprises two categories:
1️⃣ The Operator category which recognises rail, bus and Point-to-Point operators for their commitment to safety for both employees and commuters alike. 🚇🚌🚕
2️⃣ The Public Transport Worker category which recognises the workers for preventing potential safety and security incidents through their timely actions and efforts to enhance operational safety at their workplaces. ⛑🛡
With millions of PT journeys daily, it’s vital that our PT workers remain vigilant against potential threats to ensure commuters like you and I continue to enjoy safe and reliable rides.

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 💚

#DidYouKnow that we’ve been adopting more sustainable methods 💚 in the construction 🏗️ of our transport infrastructure?
The site for Changi East Depot which will house our Cross Island Line trains 🚄 used to be a disposal area for sludge, a by-product of wastewater treatment.
With advancements in technology🔬, we can treat the sludge to turn it into artificial soil which will be used as backfill material in the construction of the depot. This helps to reduce the overall volume of waste and materials required, promoting a circular economy approach ♻️ where waste materials are utilised as resources rather than discarded. 🌱 #MyGoGreenFlags

#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. 🥳
