Transcript of Senior Minister of State for Transport Sun Xueling’s Remarks at Tongkang LRT Station Visit on Sengkang LRT Works and Service Adjustments

1.      This is my second time visiting the Sengkang LRT since the scheduled closure had commenced. I came during the peak hours to see how commuters are adjusting to the closures.

2.      I am glad to see that about 6,000 commuters have been taking the new shuttle bus services every day. To make sure that the shuttle buses are running regularly and smoothly, we deploy about 200 staff daily to meet the needs of our commuters.

3.      The ongoing works are necessary for us to increase the number of reception tracks to make sure that our LRT system becomes more resilient. At the same time, we are expanding the Sengkang Punggol LRT depot. With the ongoing works due to be completed on 18 October 2026, and the expanded depot due for completion in 2027, we will see a more resilient Sengkang-Punggol LRT system.

4.      这是我第二次在高峰时段走访面临服务调整的盛港轻轨列车系统。

5.      很高兴看到我们的乘客已慢慢适应目前调整过的服务。我们每天都调派约200名员工来确保接驳巴士服务运作顺畅。 每天有约6000名乘客使用额外的接驳巴士服务。

6.      除了额外的驳巴士服务，我们也增添了更多双车厢轻轨列车，以减少乘客的不便。

7.      扩建后的轻轨总站和轻轨车道将能承载更多的轻轨列车，提供更好的服务，去应对乘客的需求。
