SBS Transit yesterday announced that it will add 40 more trips a week to the North East Line during morning peak hours on weekdays, beginning on Tuesday.

One new train will be added to the schedule, taking the total number of trains in service from 7.30am to 9.30am to 30, SBS Transit said in a press release.
