Emissions reached their highest in the city-state in 2016 , at around 7.7 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent ( MtCO2e ), which was faster than climate calculations predicted . As a result , the Singapore government is working tirelessly to reduce the emissions from its public transport network .

Singapore is working to electrify its public transport network by introducing more electric buses and trains , and has already rolled out overhead charging solutions . The government set a target to phase out all diesel buses by 2040 and has already begun launching its electric bus initiative across several transport routes .

There is also further work taking place in the city to expand the electric train network . In this vein , all plans set out by the Land Transport Authority adhere to the target of fully-electric trains on North-South and East-West lines by 2030 .
