The
Light Rail Transit (LRT), also known as the
Light Rapid Transit, is the light rail component of
Singapore's
rail network, consisting of localised rail systems acting as feeder services to the
Mass Rapid Transit network. The first LRT line was opened in 1999 and the system has since expanded to three lines, each serving a public housing estate, namely
Bukit Panjang,
Sengkang and
Punggol. Trains on these lines link to the MRT network at
Choa Chu Kang, Sengkang and Punggol stations respectively while the
Bukit Panjang LRT links to a second MRT station,
Bukit Panjang.
