'''Bukit Panjang LRT''' is a 7.8 km light rail line opened on 6 November 1999 and part of Singapore's [[Light Rail Transit (Singapore)|LRT system]]. It is fully automated, and the project was contracted to Adtranz, Keppel Corporation and Gammon Construction. The line uses the [[Bombardier Innovia APM 100|Innovia APM 100]] rolling stock supplied by Bombardier, and is similar to the ones used in the [[Singapore Changi Airport]]'s people mover service during the 90s. It is currently operated by SMRT Light Rail, a subsidiary of [[SMRT Corporation]]. A complete loop journey on the line (excluding [[Ten Mile Junction LRT Station|Ten Mile Junction]] Station) takes 28 minutes and all stations, except [[Choa Chu Kang MRT/LRT Station|Choa Chu Kang]] and Ten Mile Junction Stations have two opposing side platforms, like [[Dover MRT Station|Dover]], [[Braddell MRT Station|Braddell]], and [[Fernvale LRT Station|Fernvale]] Stations.
The '''Bukit Panjang LRT (BPLRT)''' is the first [[Light Rapid Transit (Singapore)|LRT]] line in Singapore. The line is 7.8 km long with 14 stations, and is operated by [[SMRT Corporation]]. Traveling from one end of this line to the other end takes about 30 minutes.
 
It is fully automated, and the project was contracted to Adtranz, Keppel Corporation and Gammon Construction.

==Issues==
The operation of the Bukit Panjang LRT has experienced a lot problems. Software glitches during initial running means that there were constant delays in service (On 6 November 1999, the trains were unable to move as planned and frequently halted in between stations.), and were sometimes severe. There have been two serious accidents since its opening:
* In 2000, two LRT trains crashed head-to-back at [[Phoenix LRT Station|Phoenix Station]] causing minor injuries. The operator was fined S$10,000.
* In 2002, a dislodged train wheel caused the entire shutdown of the system for six days, as it crippled the power system and the rail at the incident was damaged and had to be repaired.
 
There have also been over a hundred disruptions in service which stills continues today, the most recent being on 30 November 2010. The poor operation had no bearing on the operation of the [[Sengkang LRT]] and [[Punggol LRT]] being awarded to rival company [[SBS Transit]] and rival manufacturer Mitsubishi Heavy Industries as those contracts were placed prior to Bukit Panjang LRT commencing operation. Most of the problems have been addressed and ironed out since.
 
The Bukit Panjang LRT was operating at a loss for the first five years. This has raised complaints from the public who argue that the system is a white elephant.
 
It was also reported that residents were unhappy with the withdrawal of feeder bus services operating in the area since the opening of the Bukit Panjang LRT, and were further aggravated by the unreliability of the service. After lobbying to Members of the Parliament, 2 feeder services, Services 920 and 922, were reinstated.
 
It has also been seen that all LRT trains had their white wheel covers removed.


==Future plans==
==Rolling stock==
Plans by the Land Transport Authority have indicated a [[Mass Rapid Transit (Singapore)|Mass Rapid Transit]] Station ([[Bukit Panjang MRT Station]]) near [[Bukit Panjang LRT Station|Bukit Panjang Station]] as part of the [[Downtown Line]]. When further details were revealed, it disclosed the close proximity of the new MRT station to both Bukit Panjang Station and Ten Mile Junction Station.
The rolling stock consists of [[Bombardier Innovia APM 100]]. They will be stabled at [[Ten Mile Junction Depot]].
