Intra town travel

From Wikipedia:

The concept of having rail lines which could bring people from door to door without requiring the use of road-clogging buses was much favoured by the government transport planners, especially with the increased emphasis on a rail-based public transport network.

For intra town travel, LRTs were favoured over buses because trains run on dedicated elevated guideways, bypassing any traffic congestion and traffic lights on the roads, and does not add to road traffic. Train arrival and departure times are also almost guaranteed this way.

It is also cleaner as the trains are electrically powered, and therefore lessens the effects of air pollution.

MY OBSERVATION:

It is useful to have a LRT system in our busy towns, where the roads are congested, perhaps Tampines and Toa Payoh?
