Bukit Panjang LRT Shuttle Bus Service (October 2020)

Temporary rail replacement services (or LRT Shuttle Bus Services) will be operating every Sunday in October 2020. These arrangements facilitate full-day closures of the Bukit Panjang LRT (BPLRT) network due to ongoing overhaul works.

The closures in October 2020 are to facilitate testing of the BPLRT’s new signalling system.

Note that only LRT Shuttle B will be offered. Replacement for LRT Shuttle A is offered by SMRT Bus Service 976.
