Chinese New Year (CNY) is in a few weeks time, and some of the public transports are already decked out with CNY decorations.

From Jan. 19 onwards, some of the trains will be decorated with Zodiac motifs and other CNY elements such as cherry blossoms and gold ingots to usher in the Year of the Boar.

These CNY-themed trains were launched yesterday by MP Lily Neo, who took the train from HarbourFront to Outram Park.

Buses 80, 143, 166, 147, and 174 and MRT stations like Outram Park, Bugis, and Esplanade will also be done up in the festive theme as well.
