	Punggol LRT Line - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although presently Punggol is actually less densely populated than other towns, there are plans to turn it into a new town, and hence probably house hundreds of thousands of people, an especially large portion of the population of Singapore, especially when development is completed.
		The Punggol LRT Line gives an incentive for development and residence in the area by providing a more rapid and effortless form of transport compared to other forms of transport in Singapore, and is part of the plan to link up Punggol with the integrated public transport system.
		Punggol LRT Station, the centrepiece of the line, is adjacent to Punggol MRT Station, thus linking up the Punggol MRT Line to the Mass Rapid Transit system that spans the entire island of Singapore.

	Punggol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Punggol New Town is served by the Punggol LRT Line which forms two loops around the new town.
		Punggol, or Ponggol, is a neighbourhood in northeastern Singapore.
		In terms of public transport, the opening of the North-East Line, the Punggol LRT Line in January 2005, and a temporary bus interchange adjacent to the Punggol MRT Station was a great improvement over what was once a single bus route, SBS Transit's Service 82, to the area along Punggol Road.

		It is bounded by Sungei Serangoon to the east, Tampines Expressway to the south (bordering Sengkang Town), Sungei Punggol to the west (bordering Pasir Ris New Town), Selat Johor and Serangoon Harbour to the north.
		The town is also served by the Punggol LRT network comprising of two loops that serve the housing areas and one spur line which serves the residential developments and recreational nodes north of the semi-expressway.
		Punggol Park, located at the junction of Hougang Avenue 8 and 10, was developed with the theme "Family Leisure", with many facilities for both young and old in the family.

		When it is completed, the Punggol LRT Line will be able to serve most of, if not the entire town of Punggol.
		Although presently Punggol is actually less densely populated than other towns, there are plans to turn it into a new town, and hence house a possibly a large portion of the population of Singapore, especially when development is completed, the housing capacity will be large enough to accommodate a growing population for the future.
		The Punggol LRT Line gives an incentive for development and residency in the area, and hence its importance in linking Punggol up with an integrated public transport system, as it also will lead to the Mass Rapid Transit line that spans the entire island of Singapore.

	Singapore Ink. » The Bukit Panjang LRT system (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		When the backup for the LRT is buses, and when the backup for buses is… other buses, I think we begin to see one of the little truths in this whole sorry saga.
		Another one we might consider is how accessible the LRT system is for residents, regardless of whether the system is running at 99.7% efficiency (at most 4 minutes’ downtime for every 20 hours’ operation).
		The most explicit case of how this LRT system has made residents unhappy, I found, was not in Bukit Panjang but in Choa Chu Kang, where the SMRT cancelled the feeder bus service 307 plying Yew Tee and Teck Whye claiming it was duplicated by the LRT.

		The Mitsubishi Crystal trains are quite nice, smooth rubber-wheeled automated guideway transit much in the style of Tokyo's Yurikamome line, and the little cars were packed today with sightseers doing the loop (if you're already on the MRT, it costs nothing to board the LRT, do the circuit, and come back!).
		however, when you approach from either end of the punggol station, you'll see that the station can accomodate the future track which i believe will be used for the northern spur line in future.
		A little digging revealed that both Yurikamome and the Sengkang LRT were built by Mitsubishi (I thought the track looked awfully familiar!), here's some Mitsu propaganda in PDF form.

		While metro lines are usually planned to be as straight as possible, a special urban kind of infrastructure has emerged in metropolitan areas: the circle line.
		A circle line crossed by several straight (radial) lines is considered to be the best possible type of metro networks since it provides the best traffic connections within a city [4].
		Moscow's metro operator uses its circle line as a test bed for new signalling and trains because it is the line with the most reliable schedule [6].

		You are right about the supply lines though, modern big cities exist thanks to an incredible support system that can range several hundred to amazingly enough, several thousand miles in distance.
		The bottom line is that these urban areas all exist beyond their local carrying capacity.
		The bottom line is my opinion of the modern urban life is that it is ultimately doomed.

		For Punggol and Sengkang, the unsold stock is decreasing and HDB is closely monitoring the situation.

		Today, I went to Punggol for my first time ever since the farms had been bulldozed to make way for a new housing estate.
		Before this, all I had known about the area was that it was grossly under-developed and the government was using almost all of the tricks in its books to get people to move there.
		The LRT is basically like a monorail system that runs through the housing estate.

		Sengkang is fairly developed especially in the eastern and central part (where I live), but the western part is another story (re: railway in the middle of nowhere).
		Punggol has had it worse - the eastern part was built up but development practically halted just short of the central section, which means that they do not have a fully functional town centre.
		On the left, you can see the Compass Point shopping mall, and the Sengkang LRT line which leads from the integrated complex to the apartment blocks in the distance.
