Operation

The C801A trains are fully automated, without attendant, running on a system that are similar to the C801 trains.

Trains can be coupled for two-car operations during peak hours.

Features

Design

The C801A trains are relatively different from the C801 trains in terms of exterior and interior looks.

  • Painted with SMRT's new livery.
  • Circular headlights unlike the C801s, which have rectangular headlights.
  • Solar windshields installed at both windows of the car to help deflect sunlight and keep cabin temperatures cool.
  • Ergonomic seat profile.
  • Red reserved seats for clearer separation between normal and reserved seats.
  • Yellow hand grips.

Others

Similarly to the C801 trains, rubber-tired wheels are used to run on a concrete track. It makes them extremely quiet. Windows mist within 6 meters of residential buildings, eliminating both noise and privacy concerns.

Trainset numbers

Individual cars are given a three-digit serial number by the rail operator, SMRT Corporation, ranging from 120 to 132.
