LRT ADDITIONALS

Starting on March 16, the Bukit Panjang LRT did begin double ring service, which will run on Sundays from 11am to 1pm and 5pm to 7pm. &nbsp,

Since December 1, 2019, it has been operating on a single loop during off-peak hours to accomplish renewal works.

LTA stated that it would evaluate the performance of the network before deciding whether to expand it to include more off-peak days. Full double ring services will still be accessible on friday mornings and evenings during the busiest days. &nbsp,

In the fourth quarter of 2024, two brand-new Bukit Panjang LRT trains are scheduled to launch customer support. 19 fresh trains, including these, will take the place of the first-generation ones that have been operating since 1999.

Second-generation vehicles are already undergoing upgrades in addition to a new communications-based train power signalling program. More railways are anticipated to finish the switch and re-enter customer service later this year. &nbsp,

From March 22 through June 30, Bukit Panjang LRT services will close one hour before, at 10:30 PM, on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights, to facilitate the assessment of the innovative vehicles and systems.

After 10:30 p.m., travellers you take the bus services 67, 171, 920, 922, 960, 963, 972, 972M, 973, 974, and 976. These cars serve the locations of Choa Chu Kang and Bukit Panjang.

Works on the Sengkang-Punggol LRT station platforms, with designated ending locations for each of the four routes traversing the station, may begin this month, according to LTA.

In order to promote board and board, the place will also receive new signs and backlog markings as well as a new tactile guiding system. &nbsp,

By the end of the year, the first of 25 brand-new two-car trains for Sengkang-Punggol LRT will been operational for customer service after passing screening. In order to increase customer capacity, these innovative trains will eventually take the place of some of the existing one-car trains and some of the existing two-car trains. &nbsp,

With eight in ten homes located within ten minutes of a coach place, LTA continued,” We are on track to reach our goal of expanding the rail system to about 360 km by 2030.”
