Punggol LRT
The fully driverless Punggol and Punggol Light Rapid Transit (SPLRT) system serves two of the
fastest-growing residential estates in Singapore.
Opened in 2003, the Punggol LRT connects residents in the area to the town centre, Punggol MRT
station on the North East Line, and the Punggol bus interchange. The line serves 14 stations
across two loops.
The Punggol LRT was opened in 2005. It links commuters from the residential areas to Punggol MRT
station on the North East Line and the Punggol bus interchange. The trains run along two loops
and currently serve 14 stations.
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 Punggol and Punggol. To accomodate more two-car
trains, the SPLRT depot will be expanded by 2027.
