Kupang LRT Station (SW3)

Location and layout

The station lies within the Sengkang precinct and is intended to provide short-distance rail access for nearby residential and community facilities. Like other LRT stops, it is designed to integrate with walking routes and local feeder services, offering sheltered boarding areas and accessibility features for people with reduced mobility. Kupang functions as one link in a dense urban network that connects to higher-capacity lines.

Kupang was the final addition to the Sengkang LRT west loop, opening in mid-2015 to fill a gap in local coverage. Its introduction followed planning and phased construction of the Sengkang loop to respond to population growth and estate development in the area. The station is part of the broader transport strategy for Sengkang that emphasizes frequent, short hop connections to key interchanges.
