Kupang LRT station
Kupang LRT station (SW3) is an elevated Light Rail Transit (LRT) station on the Sengkang LRT line West Loop in Fernvale, Sengkang, Singapore, located at Fernvale Street near the junction of Fernvale Link and next to Sengkang Riverside Park. Initially not opened with the rest of the West Loop due to low expected residential demand,[1] the station eventually commenced operations on 16 June 2015 in light of new housing estates in the vicinity. It was the last station on the Sengkang LRT line to open.[2]
