SBS Transit signed a $14m long-term service support (LTSS) contract with Motorola Solutions to maintain and enhance critical radio communications for the Downtown Line and Sengkang and Punggol Light Rapid Transit system for the next 15 years.
This will support and strengthen the Motorola Solutions TETRA radio system, which SBS Transit has used for the past decade to coordinate front-line teams.
It will also support further expansion of the Downtown Line in the future, providing two additional stations whilst reducing the commute from Singapore's east to west by up to 15 minutes.
The contract extension comes as more Singaporeans turn to rail travel. Demand for SBS Transit's rail services surged by more than 18% to 428 million passenger trips in 2023.
