We are pleased to announce our participation in the Energy Market Authority (EMA)’s regulatory sandbox, where we will pilot the integration of our electric vehicle (EV) charging stations into the Demand Response (DR) programme. Through this initiative, our network of nearly 1,000 charging stations will explore adjusting charging volumes during DR events to help balance demand and supply across the electricity grid. ComfortDelGro Managing Director/Group CEO, Mr Siak Kian Cheng said: “We are excited to partner with the Energy Market Authority of Singapore in this pilot program. As the only EV charging operator in Singapore with a large operating fleet, ComfortDelGro is uniquely positioned to contribute to a more efficient and sustainable energy grid. This regulatory sandbox provides a valuable opportunity to test and develop new capabilities, paving inroads to adjacent businesses and accelerating the transition of our fleet." This collaboration represents a step towards building a more resilient electricity grid and advancing a sustainable energy future, supporting Singapore’s journey towards greener mobility.

Our outdoor advertising arm, Moove Media, is excited to announce the trial of Dynamic Cab Advertising — Singapore's first taxi top smart digital billboards. As the first of its kind in Singapore, 50 vehicles will be fitted with these new taxi top smart digital billboards for a six-month trial approved by the Land Transport Authority (LTA) Singapore. These billboards will dynamically display different ads based on the vehicle's location, time of day and prevailing weather conditions, allowing advertisers to tailor their messaging and engage audiences with precision. Singapore will be one of the first few markets in the world to feature digital advertising on top of taxis after New York, UK, Hong Kong and India. These vibrant displays will not only add a new dimension to Singapore's cityscape but also contribute to a more sustainable advertising environment. The first 50 taxis with smart digital billboards will hit the roads by 14 October 2024, with Amazon as our first client to adopt this new advertising format.

When Anna Tkaczyk made the bold decision to leave her home in Poland and move to the UK, she could not have imagined just how life-changing it would be. Stepping out of her comfort zone into a new country without knowing what the future holds was a leap of faith. In 2007, despite facing language barriers and adjusting to a new environment, Anna began her journey as a bus driver. Sixteen years later, she has climbed the ranks, moving from Supervisor to Operations Manager, and now serves as Deputy Head of Transport Safety at Metroline Ltd - a testament to her passion for learning and growth. In her current role, Anna manages accident reviews and leads crucial safety initiatives, including crisis management. Her hard work pays off as her team continues to reduce serious road incidents, bringing them closer to Vision Zero — Transport for London's goal to eliminate all deaths and serious injuries by 2041. “We are moving from a reactive to a proactive approach to enhance safety for all road users. We've made great strides, with continued collective effort, there's so much more we can achieve,” Anna says. Looking back at her career, Anna reflects on entering the transport industry with little knowledge about the future. Along the way, she learned English, formed lasting friendships, and applied her knowledge to her evolving role. Supported by her dedicated colleagues and loving family, she has truly thrived. “Metroline has been incredibly supportive, providing many opportunities for career development and growth. It’s been an incredible journey,” she shares. When asked about the stresses of the job, Anna acknowledges the challenges but leaves with an encouraging message, “Yes, it can be stressful but that shouldn't stop you from achieving your goals. Stay curious, embrace learning and trust yourself — you can accomplish anything. This job is for everyone.”
