Since the independence of Singapore in 1965, the public transport system serving the country had undergone multiple significant changes and evolved to become what it is today. In this article, we will take a walk down the memory lane and go through the major public bus and rail service changes that had occurred over the past decades since the massive bus service reorganization exercise in Year 1971.

This article covers major changes to public bus, Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) and Light Rail Transit (LRT) services between 1 January 2010 and 31 December 2019 only. If you are looking for public transport service changes before 2010 or after 2019, please see the subsequent or previous articles in this series (1971 – 1979, 1980 – 1989, 1990 – 1999, 2000 – 2009 & 2020 – 2029).

Overview

For the operating period between 1 January 2010 and 31 December 2019, the public transport system saw the achievement of numerous significant milestones in terms of the transition in the way in which public buses and trains are being run by the public transport operators in Singapore.

The Bus Contracting Model (BCM), launched on 29 May 2016, saw the transition of the public bus industry in Singapore into a new style of public bus operations. Prior to the implementation of BCM, public buses were only run by two main public bus operators – SBS Transit and SMRT Corporation – who are responsible for the daily operation of bus services at stipulated service standards, procurement and maintenance of bus fleets and the planning of bus services in their respective areas of responsibility to cater to the needs of commuters.

Under the BCM, LTA officially took over the role of the public bus operators as the central bus planner for the public bus network and also took over ownership of all bus operating assets such as bus fleets, depots, interchanges and terminals. Public bus operators will bid to operate existing bus services, which are bundled into packages and are paid an operating fee to run the bus services under the awarded packages for between five to seven years. This resulted in the entry of two new bus operators – Tower Transit Singapore and Go-Ahead Singapore – in the same year.

Between 13 September 2012 and 9 December 2017, LTA also worked together with the incumbent bus operators to implement the S$1.1 billion Bus Service Enhancement Programme (BSEP), which involves the introduction and amendment of 80 bus services, as well as the funding of 1,000 additional buses for the new/amended bus services, as well as enhancements to existing bus services.

In rail developments, the remaining 2 stages, as well as the extension branch of the CCL, were operational between 2011 and 2012. In addition, the Downtown Line (DTL) also commenced operations in three stages between 2013 and 2017, enhancing connectivity between the north-western and eastern corridors and the city centre of Singapore. Lastly, the Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL) also started operations in 2019, serving Woodlands New Town. On the existing NSL and EWL, 6 new MRT stations were opened to cater to new developments and greater accessibility . On the Sengkang and Punggol LRT systems, more LRT stations were also opened in the decade as more residential blocks were completed in the new residential estates.
