45 years. Countless journeys. One NTWU. ❤️

At our 45th Anniversary Dinner & Dance, we remembered those who started it all, paying tribute to our first Executive Secretary, the late Brother Ong Ah Heng, and the pioneers whose contributions continue to shape NTWU today.

That spirit of looking out for one another continues in the way we support our members today, from counselling and education assistance to our growing canteen network at Kaki Point and Kaki 24hr.

Forty-five years may have changed the faces, the workplaces and the challenges. But what has remained constant is our commitment to stand by our workers, through the good times and the tough ones.

To everyone who has been part of NTWU’s story, past and present, thank you for being part of this journey with us.

Ours, Always Here. ❤️

🎉 KAKI 24HR IS HERE! 🎉

🚌 Late shift or early start, your kaki is always here.

Today, NTWU launches our first Kaki 24hr Vending Machine Hub at East Coast Bus Depot!

For decades, our canteens have been familiar spaces for transport workers to enjoy affordable meals, rest, recharge and catch up with colleagues.

💬 You shared, we listened.

We heard how difficult it can be to find food, drinks and daily necessities during late shifts or after canteens close. Kaki 24hr brings hot meals, snacks, beverages and everyday essentials together in one place, available 24/7 at the workplace.

And we’re just getting started. 🔥 From some 350 workers at East Coast Bus Depot, Kaki 24hr is set to reach another 3,000 transport workers across five more bus and train depots by 2027.

❤️ More accessible. More affordable. And there when our workers need it.

Ours, Always Here.

At this year’s Singapore BusTech & RailTech Grand Challenge, students teamed up with bus and rail technicians to tackle real industry challenges, combining fresh ideas with the experience of our workers. 🔧💡

For NTWU, innovation must go hand in hand with opportunities for our workers. As technology transforms public transport, we will continue working with our tripartite partners to ensure our workers have the skills and opportunities to grow alongside it.

👏 Congratulations to all participants and winners, and a big thank you to our technicians for sharing their experience with the next generation, and to the Singapore Rail Academy for continuing to invest in the skills and development of our rail workforce. 🚆

Different roles. Different skills. One transport family, moving forward together. 💙

NTWU Stands With You, On the Ground and Online 📱✊

Doxxing and online harassment should never be accepted as part and parcel of the job.

NTWU met with the Online Safety Commission (OSC) to strengthen how we can support public transport workers who are targeted online.

Workers facing online harms such as doxxing and harassment can seek help from the OSC, including timely relief against harmful online content.

Our message to our workers is simple: Don’t face it alone. Reach out to your Union. We will stand with you and help you seek the appropriate support and recourse. ❤️

Thank you Online Safety Commission, Singapore for the insightful sharing and for working with us towards safer online spaces for our workers.

Taking care of our public transport workers in this haze situation

All four public transport operators — SMRT, SBS Transit, Tower Transit and Go-Ahead Singapore — are making N95 masks available to their bus and rail workers amid the ongoing haze. NTWU thanks them for doing so!

Our public transport workers spend long hours outdoors, on the roads, at interchanges and along our rail lines. The ongoing haze makes their work more challenging, and we appreciate our public transport operators for working closely with NTWU to put workers’ health first and ensure they are protected.

To all our public transport workers: please monitor the haze situation, wear your N95 masks, drink plenty of water, take breaks when you can, and look out for one another. If you have not collected your N95 mask, please check with your supervisor or colleagues at your workplace. Your health matters!

To all commuters, let’s do our part too and treat our public transport workers with respect and dignity. A little kindness goes a long way!

Together, let's continue looking out for one another and build a safer, more caring community where every worker feels supported!
