'''SBS Transit Limited''' ([[Simplified Chinese|Chinese]]: 新捷运有限公司) is a public transport operator in [[Singapore]] and a wholly owned subsidiary of [[ComfortDelGro]]. Founded as SBS Transit after merging company with Super Bus Service under ComfortDelGro, SBS Transit currently operates on the [[North East MRT Line|North East Line]], [[Downtown MRT Line|Downtown Line]], [[Sengkang LRT Line]] and [[Punggol LRT Line]]. The rolling stocks are [[Bombardier MOVIA C951|C951]], [[Alstom Metropolis C751A|C751A]] and [[Mitsubishi Crystal Movers C810|C810]] with future rolling stock [[Alstom Metropolis C751C|C751C]].

The colour scheme of the trains varies, with the NEL trains with purple and red striped livery, DTL trains with teal and dark blue striped livery and SKLRT and PGLRT with indigo colour trains.

==Major disruptions==

A major breakdown occurred on 15 March 2012 affected 90,000 commuters due to a power supply problem in the tunnel at Outram Park station. This caused train services to be disrupted, between 0630 to 1635, on NEL between Harbourfront and Dhoby Ghaut stations. Subsequently, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) intends to impose financial penalties amounting to S$400,000 (approximately US$315,000) on SBS Transit for the disruption.<ref>{{cite news| title = SBS Transit fined S$400,000 for March train disruption | publisher = Channel NewsAsia | date = 4 September 2012 | url =http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/1223932/1/.html}}</ref>

==Line information==

The North East Line was supposed to have a "NE2" (Keppel) between HarbourFront (NE1) and Outram Park (NE3). However, due to the area used to be under the Malaysia KTM railway company, that station was never developed. Recently, SBS Transit has stated that two stations may be procured. One possibly the missing Keppel (NE2) and the other Punggol North (NE18) stations.<ref>http://sgwiki.com/wiki/North_East_Line NEL information</ref>

Downtown Line Stage 1 was opened in the year 2013 connecting Bugis (DT14) to Chinatown (DT19). Stage 2 will open near the end of 2015 reaching out from Bukit Panjang (DT1) to Rochor (DT13), with the exception of "DT4", which is shelved due to undeveloped area. Stage 3 will open in the year 2017 reaching out to Expo (DT35) from Fort Canning (DT20). Downtown Line Extension will open in the year 2024 from Xilin (DT36) to Sungei Bedok (DT37).
