SMRT Trains has been awarded the Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL) operator license after a 5-month closed tender evaluation. The TEL operator tender was called in February this year, with both existing local rail operators invited to participate. SMRT Trains offered a service fee of approximately S$1.7 billion for the 9-years service period between 2019 and 2028, with a possible extension to 2030 subjected to operational performance.
600 staffs will be recruited over the next 2 years for the initial operations of TEL1.
