Here stands Ranggung LRT Station. It is more than just a stop on the Sengkang LRT line. It’s a landmark in the Sengkang New Town.
Ranggung Station opened on January 18, 2003. It provides a vital connection for residents. The Sengkang LRT, a 10.7-kilometre automated line, links Sengkang’s residential areas to the town center. Here, commuters can access the North East MRT line and the Sengkang Bus Interchange.
The name “Ranggung” itself has an interesting origin. It refers to a species of stork that once lived along the Punggol seashore. Imagine these birds gracefully soaring over the area. Now, trains glide along elevated tracks instead.
