Senior Minister of State for Transport Sun Xueling announced the package on 7 July 2026, at the Future of Transport Motion in Parliament. In her speech, Ms Sun shared that the Government recognises the challenges of career transitions, especially the opportunity costs of stepping away from driving to attend training. She added that the Government is taking a proactive approach to helping workers adapt, transition to new roles and acquire new skills in the age of autonomy and AI. “The manpower transition package is one of more upcoming moves we are putting in place for our point-to-point drivers. We will continue to work closely with the unions and support our workforce as jobs evolve,” said Ms Sun. NTUC Assistant Secretary-General Yeo Wan Ling, who supported the motion, said Singapore “must bring our workers along” as it strengthens its position as a global transport hub. “We must listen to our workers' concerns, so that we know how to address them … By listening to our workers' concerns, we can better understand how to co-create their future,” she said.
