As of 2024, Singapore’s extensive rail network spans around 260km. This is set to grow to 360km in the next decade, with 8 in 10 households within 10 minutes walk of a train station, to better connect people to places.

As a builder, LTA plans, develops and invests in the construction of the extensive rail network, which forms the backbone of our public transport system.

As a regulator, LTA works closely with public transport operators to offer commuters safe, reliable and comfortable train rides. All existing lines have transited to the New Rail Financing Framework (NRFF). This means LTA is now the owner of the rail operating assets. We will be able to ensure more timely investments in capacity expansion, replacement and upgrading of the assets. The rail operators can also focus on providing reliable and well-maintained rail services. Together, this will offer commuters higher quality rides and a system that is more responsive to their needs.
