SBS Transit and Univers Forge AI-IoT Alliance to Modernize Singapore’s Public Transport

SBS Transit has partnered with Singapore-based technology firm Univers to develop an AI and IoT platform aimed at transforming the monitoring and management of public transport infrastructure. The collaboration seeks to enhance operational efficiency and align with Singapore's decarbonization objectives.

The platform will integrate real-time data from SBS Transit's bus and rail assets, providing centralized insights into asset health and energy consumption. While Singapore's predominantly non-electric bus fleet limits immediate emissions reductions, the focus on maintenance optimization offers a pragmatic path to operational improvements.

Univers' AI Lab stands to gain international scalability for its transport solutions, while SBS Transit modernizes its infrastructure. The partnership coincides with the Land Transport Authority's ongoing charging tenders, creating opportunities for early-stage vendors to integrate AI-driven energy management systems.
