Rail Replacement Service

Dedicated shuttle bus services will be provided during weekday peak hours to augment the capacity of LRT services and reduce added travel time for commuters.

To aid commuter familiarisation, shuttle services will begin on 13 April 2026, one week before the LRT service adjustment begins.
