LTA added in a social media statement that there will be a different design on every rail line and that there will also be festive murals at select trains stations. 

According to LTA, there will also be daily CNY tunes played at all SMRT MRT stations during peak hours.

The music will be played by Hear65, a national movement by the National Arts Council which celebrates and promotes all forms of Singaporean music.

It will be playing its “I Play SG Music” CNY 2024 playlist. This will include music from SCCC and the Singapore Chinese Orchestra.

The decorated trains come shortly after the National Arts Council (NAC) and LTA partnered to decorate seven train stations along the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) line.

With the partnership, commuters on the North East Line were greeted by a themed train decked out with selected art works from Singapore Art Week 2024 (SAW).

Envisioned as an art trail, the initiative aimed to give the public a head-start in viewing the artworks that will be showcased throughout SAW, which will be taking place from 19 to 28 January 2024, according to a statement by NAC.
