Themed trains to drive commuters towards green lifestyle

Alice Chia Channel NewsAsia 21 Nov 16;

SINGAPORE: Commuters looking to lead an eco-friendly lifestyle will get some pointers on how to do so on two specially themed MRT trains.

The two trains launched on Monday (Nov 21) have been decorated to showcase the Sustainable Singapore blueprint, which maps out the Government’s vision to create a more liveable and sustainable future by 2030.

The decorative features, which include window stickers, outline ways the public can do their part for the environment such as bringing reusable shopping bags and taking public transport instead of driving.

One of the themed trains will run along the 18-station Downtown Line between Chinatown and Bukit Panjang stations, and the other train will ply the North-East Line between HarbourFront and Punggol stations. Both trains will run daily for four weeks.

The themed trains initiative is supported by the Land Transport Authority and Moove Media.
