The fully driverless Sengkang and
Punggol Light Rapid Transit (SPLRT) system serves two of the fastest-growing residential estates
in
Singapore.
Opened in 2003, the Sengkang LRT connects residents in the area to the town centre, Sengkang MRT
station
on the North East Line, and the Sengkang bus interchange. The line serves 14 stations across two
loops.
Both LRT systems were upgraded from one-car to two-car operations in 2016. In the coming years,
more of
such two-car trains will be added to the SPLRT fleet to better serve the long term public
transport needs
of the communities in Sengkang and Punggol. To accomodate more two-car trains, the SPLRT depot
will be
expanded by 2027.
