Overview
- LTA outlined three fixed-route services in Punggol, with Grab partnering WeRide on two routes and ComfortDelGro teaming with Pony.ai on the third.
- The first route to open will be Grab’s service linking Matilda Court and Punggol Clover to Oasis Terraces via Punggol Plaza, operating weekdays from 9:30am to 5pm without pre‑booking.
- Initial vehicles will run mapping and familiarisation without passengers starting next week, followed by staged free trials in early 2026 with safety operators on board.
- Authorities set fleet targets of about 10 autonomous vehicles by end‑2025 and roughly 100–150 by end‑2026, projecting public‑transport trips could be up to 15 minutes faster.
- ComfortDelGro and Pony.ai will operate a roughly 12‑km loop with rides bookable via the Zig app, with fare details to be confirmed closer to launch.
