Land Transport (Rail) - cropped

Overview

Did you know that come 2024, Singapore will be home to the world’s first 4-in-1 rail and bus depot? Our railway network is set to double by 2030 with the construction of new MRT lines and extension of the current lines. Today, more than 130 stations across five MRT lines span the island. In addition, there are more than 40 stations across two LRT lines and this 28km system has over 200 thousand daily ridership. All these are possible due to efforts and creative solutions from our railway professionals to meet Singapore’s growing transport needs. Are you keen to also conquer challenges and contribute in meeting Singapore’s transportation needs?

Highlights of Singapore’s Transport System

Singapore is among the most densely populated countries in the world. We face the challenges of growing transport demand and the constraints of physical space. Thus, there is a need to anticipate tomorrow’s needs and develop an efficient transport system. This is achieved through a three-pronged approach:

a. Public transport – Building the choice mode of transport with extensive rail network and quality bus and taxi services.

b. Motoring – Optimising road transport by expanding the infrastructure and maintaining vehicle population.

c. Accessibility – Implementing initiatives to enhance transport convenience and cater to people’s needs.

Collection of data on traffic flow, speeds and congestion by sensors on the roadside or by a global navigation system will become more sophisticated and widespread. With such large collection data and processing, travel advice could be targeted specifically at those who would benefit from it.

Robotics and artificial intelligence are expected to play a significant role in transportation. Autonomous vehicles (AV) are already under trial and there may be a possibility of them being used on fixed short bus routes in trials to prepare the country for an eventual driverless vehicle future, which will result in more convenient shared transport and less need to own cars.
