SBS Transit has launched its first wellness village at Downtown Line Tampines MRT station, in a move to reimagine public transport spaces as community hubs.

The initiative, inspired by the kampung (village) spirit, was officially opened by Baey Yam Keng, minister of state for the Ministry of Transport (MOT) and the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth (MMCY).

Spanning 15,000 square feet, the wellness village includes a communal plaza and features fitness classes such as yoga, pilates, and zumba. It also hosts talks, workshops, and exhibitions covering health, nutrition, and mental wellbeing.

Commuters can access healthy food and beverage options in a space decorated with community art murals.

Alongside the launch, SBS Transit introduced "GROW", a wellbeing framework aimed at supporting the physical, mental, and financial wellbeing of its employees. The framework, which stands for 'Growth', 'Resilience', 'Openness', and 'Wellness', will underpin the organisation’s internal programmes.

SBS Transit said the Tampines MRT launch is the first of four villages planned across its network, with three more set to open over the next 15 months, each carrying a different theme.

Beyond transport, wellness has also become an area of focus for other companies in Singapore. Earlier this month, StarHub launched its “Digital BMI quiz” and announced its 5G Wellness Festival at Capitol Outdoor Plaza on 13 and 14 September 2025.

The two-day festival encouraged people to reconnect offline through activities ranging from live DJ sets and silent disco yoga to mindful journaling, life-sized board games, and leather crafting workshops.

The Digital BMI, or balanced media index, is an online quiz that helps participants assess the impact of screen time on their mind, body, and emotions, and connects to StarHub’s five 5G wellness pillars: 'Gather', 'Glide', 'Glow', 'Ground', and 'Grow'.
