Transport Minister Chee Hong Tat said Bukit Panjang LRT is expected to become more reliable, with new train cars added. Two are already up and running, with the aim to upgrade the entire fleet of the 25-year-old line by 2026. New features include LCD monitors that display routes clearly, energy-saving LED lights and an upgraded air-con system. The new train cars will also be fitted with systems and sensors to better monitor and detect faults. This complements efforts to renew the ageing BPLRT system, like upgrading the operations control centre and power supply system. Claudia Lim reports.

The reason why the food increase cause of the rental of the stalls going up especially in Private Coffee Shops
Hawker food price increase highest since 2008
It surpassed the average increase of 2.2% per year from 2012 to 2022.
The other increases include water price by an astounding 30%, carpark fees by 27%, town council S&CC, ERP rates, electricity and gas tariffs, university fees, and kindergarten and childcare centre rates.
The bus and MRT fares increase defies logic. While the SMRT was unjustifiably generous with its elite employees like Mr Desmond Kuek
Soon to follow will be the introduction of a sugar tax and carbon tax. Not satisfied, the PAP will increase the GST from the current 9% to 10%
The bus and MRT fares increase defies logic
Louis Chua WP expressed his aspiration for the exploration of additional measures to alleviate the price pressures confronting Singaporeans, proposing the possibility of delaying, if not completely negating, the impacts of the upcoming GST rate increase in 2024.
Even with a one percentage point increase in the GST thus far, the Government expects GST revenues in FY2023 to be S$2.9 billion higher than FY2022.
Close to what the full GST hike was supposed to bring in. If we compare FY2023 GST revenues against that in FY2021, then GST revenues would be S$4.7 billion higher. ”
Just realized that the old trains are made in the USA. No wonder always break down. Probably the worst option to get trains from. US trains are horrible. Europe/China/Japan trains are far better. BP LRT is literally the worst line in SG. Hopefully these new ones made in China are better.
@martindawn934 and @martinbrock713 are two salty mfs
High time to have new ones
So stink inside those old ones!!
Great! This is why s'pore has one of the best transport systems in the world. PAP is obviously the only competent and effective party in s'pore.❤❤
It's a shame there aren't more LRT lines in Singapore. They are such an interesting addition to the urban landscape. Quiet and reliable, too.

There might be a C810B on SKPGLRT
I stay in Punggol and I feel the buses do a better job because it directly infront of my house with the lrt we have to walk some more so why not just scrapped it and make bus longer or taller
Love it! But too bad I am not staying there.
Environmentally friendly LRT train
