Singapore is set to see more dramatic changes in its rail landscape with new developments in the pipeline. The world's first integrated bus and train depot will be built - estimated to cost a whopping S$6.2 billion - in an attempt to improve Singapore's increasingly congested transport system in the midst of land scarcity challenges.
The integrated depot, announced by Minister for Transport Lui Tuck Yew yesterday, will comprise a bus depot as well as a three-storey rail depot, with each storey housing trains serving a different line. The existing Changi depot will be relocated as the new depot will be able to house around 220 trains and park 550 buses when completed.
