  "account": "Singapore's ComfortDelGro, in partnership with French operator RATP Dev, has secured a 17 billion Danish kroner ($3.4 billion) contract to operate and maintain the Copenhagen Metro. This joint venture, known as KBH Metro Partner, was chosen through a competitive international tender. The deal will run for 12 years, with an option to extend by three years, until 2039. CDG, which already operates metro systems in Stockholm and plans to expand to Singapore's Jurong Region Line and France's Grand Paris Express Line 15 South, sees this contract as an opportunity to scale its rail expertise internationally. The Copenhagen Metro, a driverless system with four lines, 44 stations, and 43km of track, runs 24/7 and carried 135 million passengers in 2025, a record for the network.",
