The showcase intends to enrich passengers' journeys by integrating Singapore's defence story with the public transport network, thus providing them with a unique and immersive experience while on the move.

As part of this initiative, selected themed trains will also run on the Downtown Line for one year.

Championing Singapore's defence story

This joint initiative between SBS Transit and DCS supports the Land Transport Authority's (LTA) Land Transport Master Plan 2040, in developing vibrant community spaces and enhancing the public transport journey.
