LRT is like bringing the slow electric trash bin truck up to the tracks, nothing innovative.

The Fake Circle Line don't know when can be Real Circle line, too.

should stop wasting money and time on this dino.

Looks like no contracters want to take up this stupid LRT job because the technology is too old to upgrade. Better to tear it down forever.

Old tech that still relies on a power rail. China has already been running longer trackless electric-trams that do rapid charging at terminal ends.

Sichuan 2019 Trackless Tram:

Quote:In 2016, SMRT and LTA announced plans to completely overhaul the line as the system approached its designated lifespan of 20 years, with the other factor being the aging CX-100 train cars which was only being used in two transit systems by then, the other being Miami MetroMover.[20] On 8 March 2017, it was announced that the system's power supply, signalling, rolling stock, track, stations, new signalling system and upgrading would be upgraded...

On 7 March 2018, the Land Transport Authority awarded the contract to Bombardier Transportation for $344 million on upgrading the system. This includes replacing the line's signalling system with the new Communications-Based Train Control system for a tighter headway between each trains and thus, reducing waiting time. 19 first-generation trains will be replaced while 13 second-generation trains will be refurbished.[25] The upgrade is slated to be completed by 2024.[26]
