==Rail== ===Mass Rapid Transit (MRT)=== SBS Transit operates two of Singapore's six [[Mass Rapid Transit (Singapore)|MRT]] lines in the network, the [[North East MRT line|North East Line]] (NEL) since its opening on 20 June 2003 and the [[Downtown MRT line|Downtown Line]] (DTL) since its opening on 22 December 2013.<ref>[http://www.straitstimes.com/the-big-story/land-transport-masterplan-2013/story/land-transport-masterplan-downtown-line-stage-1-o Land Transport Masterplan: Downtown Line Stage 1 to open on Dec 22] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131203044142/http://www.straitstimes.com/the-big-story/land-transport-masterplan-2013/story/land-transport-masterplan-downtown-line-stage-1-o|date=3 December 2013}} ''The Straits Times'' 7 October 2013</ref> SBS Transit is also set to operate the [[Jurong Region MRT line|Jurong Region Line]] (JRL) as a joint venture alongside French rail operator RATP Dev under the operator name Singapore One Rail when it opens in 2027.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.lta.gov.sg/content/ltagov/en/newsroom/2024/11/news-releases/JRL_operations_awarded_to_joint_venture.html|title=Jurong Region Line Operations Awarded to Joint Venture Between SBS Transit Rail and RATP Dev Asia Pacific|date=28 November 2024|publisher=[[Land Transport Authority]]}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.sbstransit.com.sg/news/sbs-transit-in-partnership-with-ratp-dev-wins-tender-to-operate-the-jurong-region-line|title=SBS Transit in Partnership with RATP Dev Wins Tender to Operate the Jurong Region Line|date=28 November 2024|publisher=[[SBS Transit]]}}</ref> The NEL currently spans 21.6 km and 17 stations, running from [[HarbourFront MRT station|HarbourFront]] in the south-west to [[Punggol Coast MRT station|Punggol Coast]] in the north-east.

Till today, it is the only MRT line in Singapore using the overhead catenary electrical system while the rest of Singapore's MRT uses the third rail. The DTL currently spans 41.9 km and 35 stations as of 2025, running from [[Bukit Panjang MRT/LRT station|Bukit Panjang]] station in the north-west to [[Expo MRT station|Expo]] station in the east via the [[Central Area, Singapore|Central Area]].

The depot is undergoing an expansion program which is targeted for completion in 2027 in order to accommodate more trains, after being in operation since 2003. *[[Tai Seng Facility Building]] which houses some DTL trains. *[[Gali Batu Depot]] which houses the majority of DTL trains. It has undergone expansion towards the end of 2010s. *[[East Coast Integrated Depot]] which is expected to house DTL trains upon its opening in 2026.
