  • 18 January – The Land Transport Gallery is launched. Several enhancements are announced for buses. Among them, the Land Transport Authority will centrally plan bus routes by 2009 with Public Transport Council overseeing bus networks and service quality, 80% of bus services at timings of 10 minutes or less by August 2009, more seamless transfers, distance-based fares by 2009 to remove transfer penalties, an integrated season pass, more bus lanes, pilot bus priority at traffic junctions and mandatory give-way at bus bays by end-2008, seven more integrated bus interchanges, more information panels at 20 bus stops and SMS for bus arrival times, an enhanced Integrated Public Transport Journey Planner by July 2008 and an Integrated Multi-Modal Travel Information System to be developed. Bus services will be made contestable and more niche services will be provided. A community division is set up in LTA with a new programme soon.[11][12][13][14][15]
  • 19 January –
    • Marina at Keppel Bay is officially opened as a yacht facility with world-class restaurants.[16][17]

  • 25 January
    • Several new rail lines are announced to double the network from Шаблон:Convert today to Шаблон:Convert by 2020 as part of refreshed transport plans.
    • The Thomson Line and Eastern Region Line will finish by 2018 and 2020 respectively, and new extensions on the North South and East West Lines will finish by 2015, serving the new cruise centre in Marina South and Tuas area respectively. Downtown Line Stage 3 will be brought forward by two years from 2018 to 2016 (a year after Stage 2 opens). Circle Line Stage 3 will open a year earlier in mid-2009, with two stations (Thomson and West Coast) opening with the whole line after initial plans as shell stations. The Circle Line extension serving Marina Bay will open in 2012.[19][20][21]
    • There will also be 93 more train trips per week on the North South, East West and North East Lines during peak periods from February 2008, with more train capacity for the North South and East West Lines by 2012.
    • Platform screen doors will be installed on all above ground stations to boost safety and reduce track intrusions, with the installation make more cost-effective after usage in many countries. It will start with test pilots in Yishun, Jurong East and Pasir Ris in 2009 before a rollout to all stations in 2012.[22][23]
    • The rail financing framework will also be reviewed for greater rail expansion by allowing a network approach in evaluating feasibility of new lines instead of a line approach, as well as ensure greater contestability of rail operators by having shorter licence terms at 10 to 15 years instead of 30 currently, and having operators compete to run rail lines and meet service obligations.
    • In other transport plans, 86 percent of overhead bridges will be covered by 2010, with all transport walkways made barrier-free too. 40 percent of buses will be wheelchair accessible by 2010, with the entire fleet by 2020. There will also be 17 more lifts for 16 MRT stations to boost convenience, with more than 70 percent of MRT stations having at least two access routes by end 2011. Public transport fares will continue to be regulated for affordability, including for those lower-income.
    • For taxis, Quality of Standards for call bookings will be tightened to ensure availability, along with setting up a common booking number by July.
    • For cyclists, a six-month trial will start from March to allow foldable bikes on trains and buses. Park connectors will be leveraged to allow cyclists to get to public transport interchanges more easily, along with improving bike parking facilities at MRT stations and bus interchanges in housing estates. Signs will also be put up to alert motorists of cyclists in frequently-used routes from March, with trials started to allow cycling on pedestrian walkways in Tampines.
    • Transport fleet standards will be improved for the environment, with all taxis complying with Euro IV by 2014, and 40 percent of public buses doing so in 2010; and the rest by 2020.[24]
