Public transport workforce to grow 4% by 2025: LTA

Currently, Singapore has 22,000 public transportation workers.

The Land Transport Authority (LTA) expects a 4% growth in Singapore’s public transport workforce by 2025.

Currently, the Lion City has 22,000 workers in the public transportation sector.

LTA derived its growth forecast for the workforce from plans under Industry Transformation Map (ITM) 2025.

Under the ITM, LTA will create 800 new jobs for its rail expansion projects, including Jurong Region Line and Cross Island Line development.

Since 2018, about 1,000 new jobs have been created in the rail sector.

To create a “future-ready” workforce, LTA will also work with the National Transport Workers’ Union and public transport operators to upskill rail workers to use new and emerging technologies.

Overall, LTA said the ITM will help Singapore’s transport sector “navigate through immediate challenges of manpower constraints and decarbonisation.”

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
