In several [[new town]]s, [[automatic train operation|automated]] [[rubber-tyred metro|rubber-tyred]] light rail transit systems function as feeders to the main MRT network in lieu of feeder buses. The total length of Singapore's LRT systems is {{convert|28.8|km|mi|2|abbr=on}}.<ref name=":6" /> The first LRT line, which is operated by [[SMRT Corporation|SMRT]] Light Rail, opened in [[Bukit Panjang LRT Line|Bukit Panjang]] in 1999 to provide a connection to [[Choa Chu Kang MRT/LRT station|Choa Chu Kang]] in neighbouring [[Choa Chu Kang New Town]]. Although subsequently hit by over 50 incidents, some of which resulted in several days of system suspension, similar systems albeit from a different company were introduced in [[Sengkang LRT Line|Sengkang]] and [[Punggol LRT Line|Punggol]] in 2003 and 2005 respectively, both operated by [[SBS Transit]].

===International rail links===
The [[West Coast Line (Malaysia)|international railway line]] to Malaysia is an extension of the Malaysian rail network operated by [[Keretapi Tanah Melayu]] (Malayan Railways). Since 1 July 2011, [[Woodlands Train Checkpoint]] serves as the southern terminus of the KTM rail network. Previously, KTM trains terminated at [[Tanjong Pagar railway station]] in central Singapore. A new rail link is being built: the [[Johor Bahru-Singapore Rapid Transit System]] between [[Woodlands North MRT/RTS station|Woodlands North]] and Bukit Chagar, Johor Bahru.
