Singapore To Share Light Rapid Transit-Building Experience With Mauritius
Singapore will soon be sharing with the Republic of Mauritius its experience in setting up a Light Rapid Transit (LRT) system, after the Singapore Cooperation Enterprise (SCE) signed a contract with Mauritius' ministry of public infrastructure on September 7.

Announcing this on Tuesday, SCE said the Mauritius government urgently needs to build a rail guided LRT system to serve the city areas between the capital of Port Louis and Curepipe

This is "to relieve the main road arteries, and to review its existing bus network in order to achieve an efficient multi-modal public transport network that can serve Mauritius over the long term," it said.

Under the contract, SCE will be the lead agency to aggregate Singapore's expertise from both the public and private sectors to deliver the program. It will also work with SMRT International and Aurecon Singapore.
