Bangkit LRT station
Bukit Panjang, Singapore · built 1999
The Bukit Panjang LRT (abbreviation: BPLRT) is an 8-kilometre (5.0 mi) automated guideway transit line in Bukit Panjang, Singapore. The BPLRT is currently the only Light Rail Transit (LRT) line operated by SMRT Trains. As the name suggests, it serves 13 stations in the neighbourhoods of Bukit Panjang and Choa Chu Kang in the north-west area of the country. The line was the first LRT line constructed in Singapore, having been opened on 6 November 1999 by then-Deputy Prime Minister Tony Tan. It is a fully elevated and automated people mover system. The line currently uses the C801A and C801B rolling stock supplied by Bombardier (now Alstom), running in a two-car formation. With a 20-year design lifespan, a major overhaul of the system began in 2019 that is scheduled to complete in 2026, which include a new signalling system (Innovia APM 300R) and power rails system, as well as rolling stock.
