Teck Lee station on the Punggol LRT has opened for passenger service almost 19 years after the station was first built in 2005.
Located along Sentul Walk, the Teck Lee station provides commuters with access to the new SIT Punggol Campus and the business park within the PDD.
LTA said last month that there will be covered linkways connecting Teck Lee station, business park and SIT campus for first- and last-mile journeys for commuters.

The operator added it has “given every corner of the station a thorough cleaning and even applied a fresh coat of paint”.

Separately, in 2022 and 2023, LTA also procured 25 new 2-car LRT trains for the Sengkang-Punggol LRT (SPLRT), doubling the number of 2-car trains in the SPLRT fleet.
The new LRT trains will increase passenger capacity to better serve residents and to meet long-term public transport demand.
