Bukit Panjang LRT Shuttle Bus Service (October 2023)

Refer to Page 1 for Bukit Panjang LRT Shuttle in October 2023.

Temporary rail replacement services (LRT Shuttle Bus Services) serving the entire Bukit Panjang LRT network were operated across Sunday mornings from 12 November 2017 to 31 December 2017 to facilitate later Bukit Panjang LRT train service commencement times.

The rail replacement service operated in lieu of the later opening of BPLRT stations to facilitate more time for engineering staff to expedite the renewal of ageing track infrastructure such as rail mounting frames and rail expansion joints on the BPLRT network.
