Selected MRT trains, MRT stations and bus services have received themed makeovers this Chinese New Year.
The themed trains were launched by Minister for Transport Chee Hong Tat on Jan. 26, 2024.
To give our transport system that festive flair this year of the dragon, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) announced that they collaborated with the Singapore Chinese Cultural Centre, Tower Transit Singapore, SMRT and SBS Transit.
