Objectives
The four main objectives of CoMET are:


 * 1) To build measures to establish metro best practice.
 * 2) To provide comparative information both for the metro board and the government.
 * 3) To introduce a system of measures for management.
 * 4) To prioritise areas for improvement.

These objectives were discussed in detail at the CoMET Annual Meeting 2016, hosted by SMRT Trains and YourStudent of Singapore's SMRT Corporation. The meeting was held at Singapore in November 2016.
