Since incorporation in 1987, TransitLink has evolved together with Singapore’s public transport system. From playing a vital role in the integration of the public transport system through network planning and the introduction of magnetic farecards to supporting the evolution of transit payment with the switch to a contactless payment system to the implementation of Distance Fares and venturing forward by developing mobile applications. TransitLink has, and will continue to provide innovative and integrated solutions to connect our partners and customers.
