Sengkang West LRT loop to unveil Cheng Lim station

Starting 1 January 2013.

According to a release, from 1 January 2013, SBS Transit will operate the Sengkang West LRT in both directions throughout the day, instead of only during the morning and evening peak hours which is the case currently.

The move will enable SBS Transit to better cater to the travel needs of commuters. In all, an additional 1033 trips will be added to the line each week. Train frequency will be maintained at 3 to 4 minutes during weekday peak hours and 5 to 6 minutes at other times.

On the same day, Cheng Lim LRT Station, which is on the Sengkang West LRT, will also be opened for passenger service.

Since January 2011, average daily ridership of the Sengkang West LRT has grown by a third to about 16,000.
