Themed Trains, Stations and More

LTA started the themed trains and stations initiative in 2014 to look at how we can creatively transform spaces within MRT trains and stations to make the overall public transport experience more pleasant for commuters. Together with our Public Transport Operators (PTOs), we work with community partners to explore and design public transport spaces that they can co-own and at the same time, add vibrancy to the network. By using unique visuals and creative messaging, we hope to encourage good commuting behaviours and make the journey more pleasant and memorable for everyone.

Explore the gallery in this page to find out more about the different designs that we have launched so far!

We collaborate with Cultural and Heritage partners such as the Singapore Chinese Cultural Centre, Malay Heritage Centre, Little India Shopkeepers and Heritage Association, Indian Heritage Centre, the NDP Organising Committee and Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts (NAFA) annually to bring festive celebrations into our public transport network.

These celebrations enliven our network and strengthen social cohesion and cultural appreciation with our fellow Singaporeans. Besides decorating the trains and stations, we also work with the PTOs, communities and diverse stakeholders to placemake communal spaces with lively cultural performances and community activities closer to the heartlands, transforming the public transport nodes into vibrant, shared community hubs.
