Two-Car System for Sengkang Punggol LRT Network

Ms Lee Li Lian asked the Minister for Transport whether the two-car system for the Sengkang Punggol LRT network can be commissioned for service before 2016.

Mr Lui Tuck Yew: We estimate that the project to enhance the capacity of the Sengkang-Punggol LRT (SPLRT) system can be completed by 2016. The project requires major modifications to existing train-cars, systems and infrastructure, including the depot and the LRT tracks, and we are proceeding as fast as we can.
