The system, which will be called Tube, will feature on Light Rail Transit Lines 1 and 2, as well as Metro Rail Transit Line 3.

“An easier and more comfortable commute awaits LRT and MRT passengers as this new technology will keep them abreast with real-time information.”

Tube is designed to offer commuters information about the next train station. It also provides alerts in case of emergencies that could disrupt services.

Equipped with built-in closed-circuit television (CCTV), it will provide train operators with information about congestion and track incidents.

Furthermore, the system will display traffic updates, news, weather reminders and short videos.
