Passengers can look forward to riding new trains that feature more open spaces and large windows on the North-South and East-West lines (NSEWL) from Sunday.
The Land Transport Authority (LTA) on Thursday said the first batch of 16 new six-carriage trains from Alstom will be put into service from Sunday, at the rate of about two every month, and replace the first three generations of NSEWL trains.
The new trains - 106 in total - will be rolled out progressively over the next three years till the end of 2026, said Transport Minister S. Iswaran at a preview event at Tuas Depot.
On Thursday, LTA also announced that it had bought six new trains for the North East Line, and 23 for the Circle Line, from Alstom.
