What is the difference between MRT and LRT in Singapore
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.
How does Singapore MRT work
Since the system's conception in 1987, all train lines have been powered by the 750 volt DC third rail, with the exception of the North East Line which is powered by 1500 volt DC overhead lines. The North–South and East–West lines use an automatic train operation system similar to London Underground's Central line.
