Trains

Since the MRT began operating in 1987, the network has introduced various models and generations of trains.

Automated high and medium capacity trains run on the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT), while the Light Rail Transit (LRT) uses light rail vehicles (LRVs).

The train network exclusively uses electric multiple units (EMUs) for passenger trains.

All MRT and LRT lines are capable of fully-automated train operations, with train captains manning the trains on the North-South and East-West lines.
