What happens to retired MRT trains? How Singapore gives them new life
In 2023, Singapore’s Land Transport Authority (LTA) decommissioned about 12 of the North-South and East-West Lines’ first- to third-generation trains to make way for newer train models. About 2,600 tonnes of train parts were disposed of — but the LTA has found ways to reuse these parts to cut waste and keep the trains’ history alive.
