AI to help adjust train schedules based on demand in upcoming Downtown Line trial

SINGAPORE - Public transport operator SBS Transit will, in the next few months, trial a system on the Downtown Line that automatically tweaks train schedules to cater to changes in passenger demand.

Mr Jeffrey Sim, chief executive of SBST’s rail business, said during a panel discussion that his firm’s trial with Siemens Mobility comes at a time when public transport ridership patterns have shifted due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
