Apart from giving our time and our funds to
the community, SMRT is also active in outreach
programmes that add colour and vibrancy to community
while promoting the SMRT brand name.
Many of these programmes to educate, entertain
or inform the public through our transport network
are either SMRT driven or undertaken in partnership
with like-minded organisations.
SMRT Courtesy and Safety
Programme
This annual programme by SMRT serves to
remind commuters to adopt safe and well-mannered
behaviour while in transit. The highlight
of the programme is the SMRT Challenge otherwise
known as Singapore’s ultimate travel
race. Courtesy and safety messages were
also publicised via action packed road shows
at our train stations, publicity posters
as well as through an art competition for
children.
SMRT and National Library
Board (NLB) Read and Ride Programme. The
magic of books come alive for children of
the Internet generation on board an MRT
train. This partnership with NLB is complemented
by the annual SMRT Tales on the Trains.
These are story-telling sessions on board
SMRT trains and are held during the school
holidays. Parents and children alike thoroughly
enjoy these fun-filled journeys.
Hui Chun at SMRT MRT Stations
Every year, we transform one of our stations
into a place of celebration to spread festive
cheer among our commuters. We are always
joined by calligraphers and artists from
the Life Art Society who will give out auspicious
couplets and brush paintings, all of which
are completed on the spot.
Seminars on safety and security features
on the trains and in the stations. These
sessions are conducted by SMRT. Groups we
have trained include trainers from the People’s
Association and trainee teachers from the
National Institute of Education.
SMRT also worked with the Ministry of
Education to incorporate material on MRT
safety and security into the mainstream
school curriculum.
