History

In 2023, SBS Transit entered into partnership with French transit group RATP Dev for tender bids to operate the Jurong Region Line and Cross Island Line in Singapore as a joint venture. Both tenders are limited to existing rail operators in Singapore, while foreign operators will be allowed to participate as minority partners of joint ventures with existing rail operators. [3]
