Chief Executive’s Message Raising public transport to greater heights

Over the past year, we have reached many milestones. One key achievement is ensuring trains travel longer without a downtime, which is measured by the Mean Kilometres Between Failure (MKBF) – the longer the distance, the better.

LOOKING LONG-TERM FUTURE FORESIGHT To ensure upgrades made to the rail system go the distance, changes The next-generation trains will improve rail reliability through the harnessing of technology and data – from were made to how the train network is financed. This will allow for tech tools that offer the power of foresight to detect defects before they occur, to a new signalling system more timely enhancements to cope with increased commuter demand, that allows trains to arrive closer to each other, easing congestion on platforms. better operations and maintenance. New Rail Financing Framework Over 60,000 of rail operator SMRT’s assets, such as the trains and signalling systems, were transferred to LTA in October 2016 under the New Rail Financing Framework (NRFF). These included the NSEWL, CCL and BPLRT. First to go under the NRFF was the Downtown Line (DTL) in 2011.

On 1 April 2018, SBST’s NEL and SPLRT also transited to the NRFF, completing the transfer of the entire rail system. Commuters can expect better rail reliability as the government is able to make timely procurement of additional trains and operating assets to keep pace with increases in ridership. Meanwhile, rail operators can focus on their core role – operating and maintaining the network. New colours

Fusion Analytics for Public Transport Emergency Response (FASTER) FASTER is an advanced analytics system that provides early warning on potential train incidents for timely intervention. Using novel fusion analytics on multiple data sources such as WiFi, cellular and anonymous EZ-Link cards, its predictive capabilities provide comprehensive situational awareness to aid swift decision making during incidents. This reduces impact to commuters. By analysing past incidents, FASTER also enhances planning and resource optimisation such as adapting bus-bridging services to meet commuter demands to improve journey times during incidents.
