While Halloween has, thanks to the proliferation of popular western culture, picked up steam, some of us may have forgotten that another festival is also coming up — it's Deepavali, of course, which falls on Wednesday, Oct. 18.

The Land Transport Authority (LTA) once again looks to delight fellow Singaporeans who celebrate the occasion with a gorgeous visual feast of decorated MRT trains, which run on the North East Line and Downtown Line.

Just like last year, many of the symbols are inspired by Deepavali festivities, with colourful rangoli patterns on the floor:

Here's what the interior of a decorated NEL train cabin looks like:

Besides the spruced-up train carriages, this year also sees the launch of Deepavali-themed buses — services 23, 56, 65, 147 and 166 were chosen to carry these pretty decorations.

The interior and exterior of the buses contain motifs of elephants, rangoli patterns and oil lamps, which embody the triumph of good over evil.

Hopefully, this means more Singaporeans can experience the festive spirit too, as the buses ply routes passing through Harbourfront, Clementi, Tampines, Hougang and Little India.

Naturally, the Little India stations on the North East Line and Downtown Line are also decked out too:

Let's hope this will remind Singaporeans that before Halloween, there's Deepavali — but of course, what can compare to actually heading down to the breathtakingly beautiful Little India during this festive season?
