Passengers can expect an upgraded air-conditioning system with improved cooling abilities, LTA said.
SINGAPORE - The first two of 19 new train cars for the Bukit Panjang LRT entered passenger service on Aug 1.
LTA said passengers can expect an upgraded air-conditioning system with improved cooling abilities and an even distribution of air throughout the new vehicles. To mark the roll-out of the first two train cars, Deputy Prime Minister Gan Kim Yong rode on them with Transport Minister Chee Hong Tat, Minister of State for Transport Murali Pillai, and MP for Holland-Bukit Timah GRC Vivian Balakrishnan from the Ten Mile Junction Depot in Bukit Panjang to the Choa Chu Kang LRT station.
The completion of the BPLRT renewal has been delayed by two years from 2024 to 2026, due to a manpower shortage and supply chain disruptions arising from the Covid-19 pandemic. The BPLRT’s signalling systems have also been upgraded in phases since 2022, and the line’s operations control centre is being refurbished.
